What it does

Once a month this workflow tallies every seat that has gone idle past threshold across all your SSO-connected apps, multiplies idle seat counts by per-seat cost, and produces a ranked report of where subscription dollars are leaking. It answers "how much could we save?" with a real number.

When to use it

Use it at budget reviews or renewal-planning time when finance and IT need a defensible figure for reclaimable SaaS spend, broken down by application and team.

How it works

  1. 1A monthly schedule triggers the rollup.
  2. 2The flow queries Postgres for inactive seat counts grouped by app and department.
  3. 3A logic step joins each app's per-seat price and computes monthly and annualized waste.
  4. 4It ranks apps by reclaimable cost and builds a summary table plus top-offender callouts.
  5. 5The report is written to a Notion page and a headline summary with the total figure is posted to a leadership Slack channel.
