The AI Notification Importer is one of the most powerful tools in your budgeting arsenal, offering a hands-off approach to logging transactions. By enabling notification access, the app monitors your incoming notifications to detect key financial transactions like debits, credits, charges, and payments. It’s designed to securely capture and process this information, automatically converting it into transactions within the app—saving you time and effort.


How It Works

  1. Local Identification: The app scans your notifications to identify potential money transactions.

  2. Secure Data Transmission: Once detected, the transaction details are securely sent to our server for processing.

  3. AI-Powered Processing: Leveraging cutting-edge AI, the app extracts transaction information such as the amount, merchant, and date. It also automatically suggests relevant categories and accounts based on the transaction details.

  4. Automatic Transaction Logging: The processed data is used to automatically create and log transactions within the app, ready for reconciliation with minimal effort on your part.

  5. Immediate Data Deletion: For your security, all notification data is securely deleted from our servers immediately after processing, ensuring your privacy is protected.


How to Enable AI Notification Importer

To enable the AI Notification Importer:

  1. Go to Settings in the app.

  2. Tap on Notification Importer.

  3. Click on Allow notification access.

This will take you out of the app to the Android system settings, where you can grant the app permission to access your notifications. Once enabled, the app can begin monitoring your financial transaction notifications to log them automatically.

You can narrow down the list of apps that forward their notifications to the AI Notification Importer. Ideally, only select apps like your bank, Google Pay, or other payment services to ensure only relevant transactions are processed.


Bypassing Traditional Bank Connections

One of the standout benefits of this feature is that it can help you bypass traditional bank connections, which often get disconnected or fall out of sync. Instead of relying solely on bank feeds—which can sometimes be unreliable—you can ensure your financial data is captured and processed via notifications from your bank’s app, SMS, or other sources. The AI Notification Importer ensures that your transactions are consistently updated and recorded, keeping your budget accurate and up to date.

This is the perfect solution for users who experience frequent disruptions in bank connections, allowing them to maintain a seamless, automated transaction logging process without worrying about disconnections or sync issues.
