AgentforceAdvancedhuman-in-the-loopfinanceapproval

Implement human-in-the-loop for high-value financial transaction approvals

Real World Scenario

Agentforce suggests refund above $500; autonomous execution caused duplicate refunds until compliance mandated human approval.

Expected Answer

• Tier actions: auto-execute below threshold, approval queue above • Approval UI shows agent reasoning and source records • Timeout pending approvals with customer communication template • Idempotency keys on refund action preventing duplicate execution • Segregation: agent proposes, human approves, system executes • Audit trail immutable for regulators • Regular review of threshold tuning vs fraud and CSAT metrics
