# Prioritize what to approve first

When approvals pile up, order matters. Your agent pulls everything waiting on you across bills, reimbursements, and requests, then ranks by urgency so you clear the highest-risk items first.

## How to run

Identify which runtime you're operating in (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Perplexity). Use the matching section below; ignore the others.

## Claude Desktop

Copy and run this prompt:

```
## Before you run
- Ramp connector enabled in Claude Desktop ([connector directory](https://claude.ai/directory/61bac03c-3f98-4b3c-affb-1b99533fa82c))

Prioritize everything waiting on my approval in Ramp.

Pull bills, reimbursements, and spend or fund requests in my queue, then rank them by urgency:
1. Due within 3 days or already overdue
2. Amount over $10,000
3. Waiting more than 7 days

For each item show vendor or requester, amount, due date or age, and a one-line summary.
Recommend the order I should work through them. Do not approve anything.
```
