Questions, answered
Will it block the card or reverse any transaction automatically?
No. WebRun only flags and reports anomalies. All card controls are left for your finance team to action directly in Ramp, so no card is blocked without a human decision.
How do you define an anomaly?
You set thresholds during setup: a multiplier above the typical amount for each spend category, plus an option to flag any new merchant not used in the last 90 days for that employee.
What if the same anomaly keeps appearing because an employee always spends that way?
You can add an allowlist exception for specific employee-merchant or employee-category pairs during setup. Approved patterns are skipped on future runs.
