How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does

Gives employees a low-friction way to declare a tool they use, then instantly checks that tool against existing spend and the approved registry. If the company already pays for it, the employee gets pointed to the sanctioned account; if it is genuinely new, a vetting review opens automatically. Turning self-disclosure into a fast, helpful response increases how much shadow IT surfaces voluntarily.

When to use it

Use to build a carrot alongside the stick of log-based discovery. Best when you want employees to proactively register tools instead of hiding them, and to deduplicate against subscriptions you already hold.

How it works

  1. 1An employee submits the self-report form and fires the Slack trigger.
  2. 2An action checks the reported tool name against active Stripe subscriptions and the approved registry.
  3. 3A logic step branches on whether the tool is already paid for, already approved, or new.
  4. 4For known tools, an output replies in Slack pointing the user to the sanctioned account.
  5. 5For new tools, an action opens a vetting review in Monday assigned to IT-ops.
  6. 6A final output confirms next steps to the submitter.
