How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerDaily schedule fires
  • ActionPull seats joined to SSO last-login from PostgresPostgreSQLPostgres
  • LogicSelect idle seats not already on board
  • ActionCreate Pending Approval item per seat in Mondaymonday.com
  • OutputPing assigned approvers in SlackSlack

What it does

This workflow converts idle-seat findings into governed approvals. For every paid seat that SSO data shows as unused past threshold, it creates a reclaim item on a Monday.com board with the app, holder, cost, last-login date, and a status of Pending Approval. Each item is assigned to the right cost-center owner so reclamation is reviewed, not silently executed.

When to use it

Use this when reclaiming a seat needs a human sign-off — for example, regulated environments, exec tools, or shared service accounts where auto-removal is risky. It gives IT a defensible paper trail of who approved each reclaim and when.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule starts the run.
  2. 2The workflow pulls seat assignments joined to SSO last-login telemetry from Postgres.
  3. 3A logic step selects only seats idle beyond threshold and skips any already tracked on the board.
  4. 4For each candidate it creates a Monday.com item with cost, holder, and last-login, setting status to Pending Approval and assigning the cost-center owner.
  5. 5It posts a Slack ping to each approver linking their pending items so review happens the same day.
