Approvals
Your policy, in plain English
Tell Cat how you want expenses handled in a sentence or two — "auto-approve receipts under €100, route anything bigger to an admin." There's nothing to configure beyond writing it down, and you can drop in a sample receipt to see exactly how Cat would rule before you save.
Cat takes the first pass
Every receipt and bill that lands in your inbox is checked against your policy. The routine, in-policy ones are approved on their own; anything unusual — over your limit, missing a VAT ID, or simply ambiguous — is routed to an admin with the matching rule and a confidence score attached. You decide how far Cat goes: suggest only, one-click accept, or full auto-approve for high-confidence items.
Decide in a click, from anywhere
Approvals live in their own inbox queue, split into Awaiting and All. Approve, reject, or undo with a click or a keystroke — or act straight from the email notification without logging in. Whoever uploaded the receipt sees the result the instant you decide, and gets a heads-up by email and WhatsApp too.
