YNAB Super Budget Ever wish that Y.N.A.B was just a little smarter when auto-categorizing your transactions? Now you can supercharge your YNAB budget with ChatGPT! No more manual categorization. Setup Get a YNAB Api Key Get YNAB Budget ID & Account ID (They are part of the URL) https://app.ynab.com/BUDGETID/accounts/ACCOUNTID Additional information Every transaction that this workflow modifies will be tagged with n8n and color yellow. You can easily review all changes by selecting just that tag. Customization By default it pulls transactions from the last 30 days. This workflow will post a message in a discord channel showing which transactions it modified and what categories it chose. Discord notifications are optional. Considerations YNAB allows for 200 api calls per hour. If you have more than 200 Uncategorized transactions, consider reducing the previous_days value.
