Vault and Capital

Let Fai prepare the finance work after your events

Promoters settling a busy season spend hours working out artist percentage deals, matching invoices and chasing payments. Fai does that work in the background and leaves each result on your Vault Overview with her working shown, so you check and approve instead of starting from a blank spreadsheet.

Let Fai, the assistant built into Ticket Fairy, prepare the routine finance work around your events in Vault: who to pay after a show, percentage deal fees with her working shown, payment batches, invoice reminders and card spend on event budgets. You accept, change or dismiss each one, and Fai never sends money on her own.

Or have it done for you

You can ask Fai in chat what she prepared and how she worked any of it out, from the same facts, working and sources the card shows. She accepts, dismisses or undoes a suggestion only after she shows you what will happen and you agree, and a money suggestion only prepares a payment that a person on your team sends. MCP and the command line have no commands for this.

Questions you might have

Can Fai send money on her own?
No. Accepting a suggestion that involves money only adds people to an event's list or prepares a payment batch. A person on your team sends it, after confirming it's them, and a second person does when your team has payment approvals on.
What does Fai prepare?
Who to pay after an event ends, from your bookings; the final fee of a percentage deal, from the contract and the ticket sales; matching payees to saved bank details; payment batches when everyone has an amount and bank details; deposits and balances due within a week; supplier invoices you upload to an event; card spend on event budgets; payments that match your invoices; reminders for invoices 3 or more days overdue; low balances before a batch; and unusual card spend.
How does Fai work out a percentage deal?
She reads the deal from the artist's contract and the event's ticket sales, takes off refunds, tax and fees, compares the result with the break-even point and applies the artist's percentage. How Fai worked this out shows each figure, and nothing changes until you accept it.
Why can't I accept a suggestion?
Only an owner or admin can accept this. You can still ask Fai about it or dismiss it. appears when your login is not an owner or admin of the brand. Ask an owner or admin to decide on it.
Someone else accepted it at the same time. What happens?
The first decision wins. Vault tells you that someone else changed the suggestion, shows you the latest version, and the list shows where it stands.
Why did a suggestion disappear?
It was accepted or dismissed by a teammate, or Fai replaced it with a newer one because its details changed. This is no longer available. Fai may have replaced it with a newer suggestion. appears if you act on one that has gone.
What does Ask Fai do?
It opens Fai with the suggestion, so she can explain the facts, how she worked it out, where the figures come from and what accepting it does.
Does an invoice reminder go without me?
No. Fai drafts the email, and it goes from your brand only after you accept it and confirm Send this reminder?. You can change the wording with Change and accept first.
What do I check when Fai asks me to confirm it's me?
When something Fai prepared moves money, You are approving at the top of the check names the action, the exact amount and who the money goes to. Continue only if they match what you want to do.
