Creating an Approval Rule for External Accounts

Users in roles with Organization Manage and Review permissions are allowed to modify approval rules. You can configure approvals rules from the Settings page.

All rule modifications (e.g. rule creation, edit, and delete actions) are logged in the Audit Trail. If you modify a rule, only new payments and bank accounts will be affected.

You can set up an approval rule to specify External Accounts that require human review. For example, you can set up a rule to review bank accounts that are created through the dashboard. A single approval rule consists of conditions and reviewers.

Conditions

Conditions describe what needs to be true for a review to be required.

You can create one or more conditions, grouped into condition blocks. Within a condition block, conditions are AND'd together. Between condition blocks, conditions are OR'd together.

Each condition is expressed as a field, operator, and value combination. Below are the conditions that can be specified for External Account approvals:

Field	Operators	Values
Metadata	contains, does not contain	Key and value
Created By User	is one of, is not one of	A list of Users
Creation Source	is equal to, is not equal to	API, Counterparty invitation form, by a User manually, bulk import
Verified By	is equal to, is not equal to	Plaid

Reviewers

Reviewers describe which Roles, and therefore which user, can take actions. You can specify one or more reviewers. For example, you can specify that you want two users with the Finance role to review. You can even specify conditional logic for reviewers, for example, that you want one user with either the Finance or Administrators Role to review.

Roles must have External Accounts View and Edit access in order to review External Account.
