In this article, we will walk you through a sample approval matrix and show you how each of them translates into a Vic.ai Autonomous Approval flow! To create a flow, ensure that you do have Admin rights for your organization prior to start.
Example Flows | Description | First Level Approver | Second Level Approver |
Expenses over $10k | Rachel | CEO, Alex | |
Salary / Commission GLs | Both Brett and Ryan |
| |
Las Vegas / San Francisco over $2.5k | Las Vegas: Amman | Ryan | |
Default | Either Zak, Mika, or Rachel |
|
Example #1 - Amount-Based threshold
Description | First Level Approver | Second Level Approver |
Expenses over 10k | Rachel | CEO, Alex |
This is the most important approval flow, that trumps all others, so it will be the first one created in Autonomous Approvals and stay at the top.
We'll use the "Total Amount" trigger when creating the flow.
There is a two-step approval process, with the CEO being the final step.

Example #2 - GL Accounts for Salary & Commissions
Description | First Level Approver | Second Level Approver |
Salary / Commission | Either Zak or Sheri | - |
For this example, there is a GL range of 6,000 - 6,999 that triggers the workflow.
This is a single-step approval process, and only requires one individual named to approve the flow.
Example #3 - Las Vegas / SF Location & $2,500 Amount Trigger
Description | First Level Approver | Second Level Approver |
Las Vegas / San Francisco over 2.5k | Las Vegas: Amman | Ryan |
This flow triggers based on two pieces of data:
An amount over $2,500
Location of Las Vegas or San Francisco. (When using multiple of the same trigger, they function as an OR connector)
This is a two-step approval process. In the first step, dependent upon the location, is routed to the correct approver. The second step is approved by Ryan.
Example #4 - Default Flow
Description | First Level Approver | Second Level Approver |
Default | Either Zak, Mika, or Rachel | - |
This is the default, or fallback flow, that will happen if none of the other flows above it are triggered. It has a single approval step, which any one of three approvers can perform.
