How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerDaily morning schedule
  • ActionQuery open foreign-currency invoices from PostgresPostgreSQLPostgres
  • ActionFetch current spot rate per currencyHTTP webhook
  • LogicKeep invoices where drift exceeds threshold
  • OutputPost drift summary to Slack finance channelSlack

What it does

This scheduled workflow monitors currency exposure on invoices you have already booked but not yet paid. It recalculates each open foreign invoice at today's rate, measures how far that has drifted from the rate captured at posting, and surfaces material moves to your finance channel.

When to use it

Use it when you carry open AP or AR balances in foreign currencies and want early warning before exchange swings turn into unexpected gains or losses at payment time. It is ideal for treasury or controllers managing FX risk without a full TMS.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule starts the run each morning.
  2. 2A Postgres query pulls all open invoices where the currency differs from base and status is unpaid.
  3. 3An HTTP action fetches the current spot rate for each currency.
  4. 4A logic step computes drift versus the booked rate and keeps only invoices exceeding the configured percentage threshold.
  5. 5A Slack output posts a grouped summary of drifted invoices, original and revalued amounts, and the drift percentage.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1

  2. 2
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  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.
