What is an Approval Queue?
An approval queue is where FLAGGED transactions wait for a human — the control that keeps agents fast while material spend gets reviewed.
How it works
When a transaction crosses an approval threshold, it returns FLAGGED.
It lands in the queue with amount, merchant, category, and the rule that fired.
A human approves or denies; only then does the agent proceed.
Why it matters
Hard blocks stop bad spend but also legitimate edge cases.
The queue makes the middle path — review, not deny — fast and auditable.
FAQ
Who reviews the queue?
Whoever owns the budget — finance ops, platform lead, or team lead.
How long does approval take?
As long as your team takes; the design target is minutes, not days.
