Consistent Management: Ensure every transaction is processed consistently, in line with your company’s financial policies.

Step-by-Step Guide:
Access Workflows: Navigate to the 'Workflows' section from your dashboard.
Create a New Workflow: Click on the 'Create New Workflow' button.
Define Triggers: Specify what should initiate the workflow. For example, a transaction exceeding a certain amount.
Set Conditions (Optional): Further refine your workflow by adding conditions, e.g., if the transaction is from a specific merchant category.
Determine Actions: Decide what actions should be taken once the triggers and conditions are met, like adding a category.
Save and Activate: Once satisfied with your setup, save and activate your workflow.
4. Best Practices and Tips:
Test Before Implementing: Before rolling out a new workflow, test it with a few transactions to ensure it works as intended.
