Check new merchants from my sheet
New merchants checked on the map, with a risk level.
What it does
When a new merchant is added to your sheet: it is found on the map and Jev picks whether its real kind matches what was declared, low, medium or high risk, posted to the risk team on Slack.
In one sentence: When a Google Sheet gets new rows, look each one up on online maps, decide with Jev, then send message to a channel in Slack and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Risk teams cannot visit every merchant. A map check flags the doubtful ones.

The time it saves
Whenever a row is added to your sheet or table. Doing the same work by hand takes about 10 minutes each time, so it saves about 33 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 5 blocks.
