What it does

Reconciles total Stripe cash collected against the sum of active recognition schedules in Snowflake, then escalates only when the gap created by unmapped charges crosses a materiality threshold.

When to use it

Use it when you care about the aggregate dollar exposure, not just a count of stray charges. It answers the controller's real question: is the unmapped revenue material enough to hold the close. Threshold-based escalation keeps noise out of immaterial periods.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires on the designated close day.
  2. 2The flow sums Stripe net charges for the period and pulls the total scheduled-recognition balance from Snowflake.
  3. 3It computes the variance and the implied unmapped-charge dollar amount.
  4. 4A logic gate compares the variance to a configurable materiality threshold.
  5. 5If material, it escalates to the finance lead in Slack with the variance, threshold, and top contributing charges; if within tolerance, it posts a clean-pass confirmation to the close channel.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect StripeCustomers, subscriptions, payments.
  2. 2
    Connect SnowflakeWarehouses, queries, shares.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
