Daily department budget burn digest from Snowflake
Each morning it reads yesterday's card spend per department from Snowflake, computes envelope burn rate and projected month-end overage.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

- LogicCompute burn rate and project month-end overage
- OutputPost ranked budget-burn digest to SlackSlack
What it does
This is a scheduled morning report that summarizes how every department is tracking against its monthly budget envelope. Instead of reacting to single transactions, it looks at the trend: how fast each envelope is burning and whether the current pace lands over or under budget by month-end.
When to use it
Use it when finance leads want a single daily snapshot of budget health across all departments rather than a stream of per-charge pings. It pairs well with a real-time anomaly catcher: this one answers "who is trending hot," not "which charge was weird."
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger runs every weekday morning.
- 2The workflow queries Snowflake for yesterday's posted charges grouped by department and the month-to-date totals against each envelope.
- 3A logic step computes burn rate, projects month-end spend from the run rate, and sorts departments by projected overage percentage.
- 4It builds a ranked digest highlighting any department projected to exceed its envelope.
- 5The digest posts to the finance leadership Slack channel with per-department burn, projection, and remaining headroom.
