Vendor bank change fraud check
Checks new supplier forms and bank detail change letters before they reach the vendor master. It reads the IBAN, tax ID and registry number from the PDF, runs them against master data and a sanctions list, and routes anything risky to a two person approval where the approver must call the phone number already on file.
What it does
- Takes the request and PDF from a webhook and reads the IBAN, VAT ID and registry number
- Checks for duplicate vendors, an IBAN already stored for another partner and a mismatched sender domain
- Flags changes within two days of a payment run and pressure words in the letter
- Screens the name against the EU sanctions list
- Writes every action to a signed audit log
Your approval boundaries
Approval requiredThese actions always wait for your yes:
- Any bank detail change, which always needs an approver who calls the number on file
- Two approvers for sanctions hits, foreign sender domains or changes close to a payment run
- Rejecting a request, with the reason sent to the requester
You decide what happens next.
More about this workflow
This setup is for operators and managers who keep the busywork moving. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.
First, it takes the request and PDF from a webhook and reads the IBAN, VAT ID and registry number. Next, it checks for duplicate vendors, an IBAN already stored for another partner and a mismatched sender domain. Then it flags changes within two days of a payment run and pressure words in the letter. After that, it screens the name against the EU sanctions list. Finally, it writes every action to a signed audit log. It works with your automation platform, accounting app and email, each on its own login with limited access.
You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before any bank detail change, which always needs an approver who calls the number on file, two approvers for sanctions hits, foreign sender domains or changes close to a payment run and rejecting a request, with the reason sent to the requester, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

Steps
Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.
- 1Connect n8n with its own login, not yours. Grant create workflows, left inactive until reviewed.
- 2Connect QuickBooks with its own login, not yours. Grant accounting data, no payments.
- 3Connect Gmail with its own login, not yours. Grant read-only plus compose (drafts) scopes.
- 4Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
- 5Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
- 6Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.
Safeguards and trust score
The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.
Can draft things that send or spend, so it sits close to risky actions.
Waits for a yes on: any bank detail change, which always needs an approver who calls the number on file, two approvers for sanctions hits, foreign sender domains or changes close to a payment run, rejecting a request, with the reason sent to the requester.
Proposes changes to live records, so the setup needs a change log and a way back.
Runs on its own login across 3 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.
How to raise it
- Access: Take away its ability to send, post or spend. Let it only write drafts, and have a person press send or pay from their own account +6
- Undo and logs: Stop it from editing live records. Have it write the change as a proposal you apply, and keep a log of every change with a way to roll it back +3
- Scope: Cut it down from 3 connected tools to the 2 it needs most, each with its own limited login instead of your full account +2
Do all of these to reach 89, up from 78.

- Service shop invoice drafts from job notes
A tech marks a job done with a plain note and the agent turns it into invoice line items from the shop's own price book. Lines that do not match stay at zero until a person prices them, invoices over a threshold wait for approval, and reminders go out on a fixed schedule without skipping ahead.
- Invoice inbox
Reads bills that land in email and gets them ready to pay.
- Weekly ops report
Writes the Monday numbers summary so you do not build it by hand.
- Vendor quote compare
Lines up quotes from several vendors side by side.
Other workflows that use the same tools
- Follow up drafter
Sales. Writes the follow up email after a sales call so nothing goes cold.
- Pipeline cleanup
Sales. Finds stale deals and tells you which ones to close or chase.
