### Build your own automated fixes

5 checks report findings on CyberSource today. Turn any finding into an automated fix with a Vortex IQ workflow: **13,885 read and write operations across 229 connectors** are available as building blocks, with approval, verification and rollback on every change.

## Automate approved work

Vortex IQ is integrated with **6 read** and **1 write** operations across report ingchargebacks, report ingconversiondetails, report ingpaymentbatchsummarys, report ingreports, riskdecisions, tsssearches on CyberSource. Combine them with anything from the **13,885 operations across 229 connectors** to automate the work in your own words.

Changes follow the merchant's configured approval policy: the target, proposed change, affected records, risk, reversibility and verification plan are shown before execution. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system.
