Use cases

What teams actually do with the Entrata integration

AP invoice triage

New invoice hits Entrata → BeforeQuery matches against the PO, verifies line items, checks vendor risk, and either routes for approval or auto-approves within the auto-approve threshold. Manual invoice-handling drops 70%+.

Month-end close checklist

Close kicks off → BeforeQuery generates the checklist per your close policy, tracks each step in Entrata, chases owners on late items, and drafts the executive summary once close is done.

Cost-center + budget Q&A

Manager asks "how much has team X spent on cloud this quarter?" → BeforeQuery pulls Entrata data, filters by cost-center + category, and answers with the specific number + trend vs. budget.

Answer questions grounded in Entrata

Employees and customers ask Entrata-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact Entrata record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into ERP / Finance / Accounting to check" round-trips.

Entrata — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Entrata.

Yes, with approver check-in. All journal writes require finance-owner approval; entries are reversible via reversing JEs; every write is audit-logged with the acting user + reason.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where Entrata supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your Entrata data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every Entrata integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific Entrata objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch Entrata for real.
