Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@Dimitris Zeus Do you use Gmail to do the forwarding? My immediate thought is to set this up with PayPal emails.

@Dimitris Zeus I hadn't realised that Zapier had a YNAB service. That is good to know. What do you do with Google Sheets and Pushbullet in the Zap?

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
Yes, my mistake: the payee is %antitle. Ignore my previous advice, sorry!

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@SgtBatten That's tricky because it splits on the space, so if the payee is one word, the number of the %antext variable will be different if the payee is more than one word.…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
In addition to this, you can copy the add transaction step in the Tasker task and add "if" conditionals to them. This allows you to post transactions to multiple budgets, if that's what you need.…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@SgtBatten No the payee is entered automatically too. Initially it can cause the transaction to be not categorised correctly in YNAB, but if you can set rules up in YNAB on the web to get around…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@Hal Sitt That's weird, I could snooze my Google Pay notifications in order to set this up. Could we focus on the Google Pay notification first and get that working first?

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@Hal Sitt Yes it will be. Although the amount is wrong too. Was this a Google Pay notification or a Chase notification, because a Google Pay notification should just work.…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@Hal Sitt Perfect - this shows that what we need is actually in the variable %antext. When you were getting the variable split error, were you manually running the task?

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@Hal Sitt I think if you manually run the task, it will not run properly because it only triggers when the notification you are intercepting appears. What I would suggest doing is:…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@Hal Sitt Hi there! It is difficult for me to diagnose because I don't have the Chase app to test. But it looks like the variable "%antext" (by the way this means A uto N otification text) is not…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@mitelman OK, so the date that is being posted in the test notification is "14-01-2020". The format should be "2020-01-14". So, this appears to be something different to what I see here in the UK.…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@mitelman The YNAB API needs the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, which comes from the variable %ynabdatearr. This variable is also used in the test notification of the task, step 8.…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
@mitelman From what I can see in your profile, this will only trigger when you make a payment at "PET VALU CANADA INC. #" for the value of $87.13, with your Visa ending 4007.…

@mitelman Could you check to see whether Tasker and AutoNotification are "not optimised" in battery settings? This makes sure they don't get killed in the background.…

Re: How to automatically create transactions using Tasker, AutoWeb and YNAB.
