INTEGRATING TRACKED TRANSACTION DATA INTO APPROVAL CHAINS FOR DIGITAL TRANSACTIONS

Abstract:

Techniques for implementing conditional approval chains through a spend management system are described herein. In an embodiment, a spend management system stores data defining a plurality of conditional approval chains. The system receives a request to perform a particular transaction between a first account and a second account. The system identifies a particular conditional approval chain, of the plurality of conditional approval chains, for the transaction, the particular conditional approval chain comprising a particular condition based on a particular rating value for a particular account and a consequent comprising a requirement for approval from a third account. Using the particular rating value for the second account, the system computes a result of the particular conditional approval chain. Based on the computed result of the particular conditional approval chain, the system determines that the transaction requires approval from the third account and, in response, the system sends a request for approval of the transaction to a client computing device associated with the third account.
