Can Settlements "Auto-Fund" or be Approved Automatically?

At this time, Finix does not have an auto-fund feature. Clients have utilized a script similar to the one below to approve settlements automatically via a cron job:

require 'finix'
require 'byebug'


Finix.configure(
 :root_url => 'HOST',
 :user=>'USERNAME',
 :password => 'PASSWORD'
)

merchants = Finix::Merchant.retrieve
byebug
merchants.each do |merchant|
 begin 
 identity = Finix::Identity.retrieve(:id=>merchant.identity)
 settlement = identity.create_settlement(
 {
 "currency"=> "USD"
 })
 rescue Exception => e
 puts e.errors
 end 
end
