When Fraud Detection Meets Approval Automation

Let's be real – fraud prevention teams have better things to do than play email tag with finance departments. SEON Fraud Fighters catches the bad guys, but then comes the real work: deciding what to do about suspicious transactions. That's where 83% of the delays happen. ApproveThis cuts through the chaos by turning SEON's red flags into structured approval workflows that actually get resolved.

Why This Combo Works

SEON's machine learning identifies risks. ApproveThis answers the "Now what?" question. Together, they handle:

  • High-risk transaction reviews that can't be auto-approved
  • Chargeback disputes requiring legal/finance alignment
  • Whitelist/blacklist updates that need oversight

Bonus: Approvers only need ApproveThis access – no extra SEON licenses required. Perfect for involving external auditors or execs who shouldn't have full system access.

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

1. Transaction Review Escalations

How it works: When SEON labels a transaction as "high risk" or gives it a suspicious score, ApproveThis automatically:

  • Routes it to the fraud team lead + CFO
  • Applies conditional logic (e.g., amounts over $5k need legal signoff)
  • Sets a 24-hour SLA before auto-escalating

Who needs this: E-commerce companies processing 1000+ orders/day. Instead of analysts digging through spreadsheets, approvals happen in context with all SEON data attached.

2. Fraud List Updates with Oversight

The problem: Your team blacklists a sketchy IP address. Two weeks later, legit customers from that ISP get blocked. Classic overcorrection.

The fix: Any SEON list change (blacklist/whitelist/reset) triggers an ApproveThis workflow requiring:

- Reason documentation
- Risk team consensus
- Expiration dates for temporary blocks

Who needs this: Fintechs and crypto platforms under regulatory scrutiny. Creates an audit trail that actually makes sense.

3. Score-Based Approval Thresholds

SEON's fraud scores aren't just dashboard eye candy. Set ApproveThis to:

- Auto-approve transactions scoring 0-30
- Route 31-70 scores for manager review
- Escalate 71+ scores to CISO + legal

Pro tip: Add calculated fields to factor in transaction size. A $50 charge with a 65 score? Maybe auto-approve. A $50k wire transfer with the same score? Full review.

Setup That Doesn't Require a PhD

Using Zapier, connect SEON and ApproveThis in 15 minutes flat:

  1. In Zapier, choose SEON as your trigger app (pick from: Transaction Labeled, Score Threshold Met, etc.)
  2. Select ApproveThis as your action app
  3. Map SEON's data to ApproveThis fields (transaction ID, risk score, customer email)
  4. Set approval rules (who needs to sign off? What's the SLA?)

No coding. No "contact support" loops. If you can set up a Slack channel, you can handle this.

Why Your Teams Will Actually Like This

Fraud Analysts

Stop chasing down approvers via email. ApproveThis shows real-time statuses:
"Awaiting CFO Review (12hrs elapsed)"
"Approved by Legal – Ready to Block"

Finance Teams

Approve/reject directly from email without logging into SEON. All context included:
- Full transaction timeline
- SEON's risk breakdown
- Customer history

Compliance Officers

Every decision gets logged with:
- Who approved/rejected
- Timestamps
- Comments
No more "I never saw that ticket!" excuses.

Features You'll Abuse (In a Good Way)

Vacation Delegation

CFO on a golf trip? ApproveThis auto-reassigns high-priority requests to the VP of Finance after 12hrs of inactivity.

Approval Thresholds

Example: Auto-approve chargebacks under $200 unless the customer has 3+ past disputes. Saves 40+ hours/month in manual reviews.

Calculated Fields

Combine SEON's fraud score with transaction amount and customer lifetime value. Flag only the risks that actually matter.

The Bottom Line

SEON tells you "This might be fraud." ApproveThis answers "Who needs to decide, and how fast?" Together, they turn risk alerts into actions without the meeting marathons.
