What it does

Finds paid SaaS seats nobody is using and recovers their cost. The workflow pulls last-login data from your SaaS admin API, flags every account idle longer than your threshold (e.g. 45 days), and routes each candidate to the right manager for a one-click approve or keep decision before any seat is touched.

When to use it

Run it monthly against expensive per-seat tools (design suites, BI, project management) where licenses quietly outlive the employees who requested them. Best when you want reclamation to be safe and auditable rather than automatic.

How it works

  1. 1A monthly schedule kicks off the sweep.
  2. 2The workflow calls the SaaS app's admin API over HTTP to fetch every seat with its last-active timestamp.
  3. 3A filter keeps only accounts idle past the threshold.
  4. 4For each candidate it posts an interactive Slack message to the user's manager asking to confirm removal.
  5. 5On approval, it calls the admin API again to deactivate the seat; declines are skipped.
  6. 6Every decision and revocation is appended to an Airtable audit log.
