  • "If this, then that" rule system

Can't wait to see what you guys have in store this time!

Looks like some community build stuff, looking at your latest tweet. Maybe Flow will launch?

    Hi Martien 🙋,

    Love your creativity on this feature idea! Would any of you other bunqers like to see this possibility as well 🤔?

    Cheers!

      ey Martien doe jij ook gewoon aan bunqen? :-) grappig!

        Hey Helmer, jij zit ook overal haha! Ja... sinds vandaag... maar ga gelijk all-in.. ;)

          I came up with this idea yesterday as a comment on another topic: https://together.bunq.com/topic/automatic-transfer-by-incoming-payment#comment-21654


          Actually, once implemented, it can stripe down (english?) a lot of wishes here! About auto redirecting money, auto saving, pinsparen etc


          For me this wish is nr 1

            Yes, this would be an awesome function that I would use very often!

              Awesome idea, as long as it easy to use (no doubt bunq can manage that;)).

              Would definitely use this to manage balances (eg. send money to savings account if balance on main account is greater than .. etc). This could also be combined with other suggestions that are made, such as the suggestion to automatically save a percentage of money spend (you could make a rule: if transaction is made, transfer % to other account), although this may be harder to implement.

                Well, great minds think alike I guess ;-)


                But yes, you can solve a lot of functionality with this kind of system... would be very cool!

                  +1 - Very good idea or if I get a payment change the Lights to Green and if i get a direct debit to red (Philips hue)

                    Maybe even a IFTT intergration

                      Nice....ik zit er al sinds februari ofzo. Niet helemaal all-in, want heb er nog wel een rekening naast (ook ivm hypotheekkorting enzo). Maar verder gebruik ik mijn andere bankpas (die van de hypotheek) niet meer. Dus eigenlijk ben ik wel all-in ;-)

                        Well, that would be cool too, but not what I meant with this idea ;)

                          Or a Zapier integration (IFTTT alternative).


                          With integrations like that you can connect to almost any tool, without bunq having to invest much time. Just notify Zapier or IFTTT and done!


                          For the non-programmer it would be nice to have it in the app of course, but that would be quite some work to build. Feels like reinventing the wheel.


                          Or start with an integration and offer it in-app if people still need it.

                            Sadly, it’s not just contact them and done. Zapier is free to integrate, but you (as in the company wanting the integration) need to build the integration yourself. IFTTT on the other hand costs money. You need to buy a license to be allowed to build an integration for it.


                            Additionally, Zapier is more business facing and quite limited in the free plan so I think IFTTT might be a better fit for end consumers 🤔

                              Hi guys... the discussion is getting of the rails here. I'm not aiming for IFTTT or Zapier or any other service integration with this idea. I'm aiming for a rule system within Bunq it self, based on transactions.

                              Ofcourse integration with other internet "automation" services would be cool, but I think it's better to open a different topic for that, so people can vote ;)


                              Thanks!

                                I agree, and we can start with only a few conditions, and a few actions, but they can add more later. I suggest starting with these conditions:

                                -If balance above/below x (where above or below is chosen and x is chosen by user)

                                -If money received on account X (account is chosen by user)

                                -If money spend on account X (account is chosen by user)


                                Actions:

                                -Transfer amount X to account X (both X's are chosen)
