What it does

Catches the licenses that offboarding usually misses. It scans your HR roster for users marked as departed, cross-checks them against active SaaS seats, releases any seats still assigned, and tallies the recovered spend so finance can see the savings.

When to use it

Run this weekly or monthly when you suspect seat sprawl: people leave, their accounts get disabled, but the paid GitHub, Salesforce, or HubSpot seat keeps billing. Ideal for IT and finance teams trying to stop paying for ghosts.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers the audit on your chosen cadence (e.g., every Monday).
  2. 2The workflow pulls the current departed-user list from your HR roster table.
  3. 3It checks each departed user against active GitHub organization seats and active Salesforce licenses.
  4. 4For anyone still holding a seat, it removes the GitHub membership and deactivates the Salesforce user, freeing the license.
  5. 5It calculates the reclaimed monthly cost and posts a savings summary plus the reclaimed-seat list to the IT and finance channel.
