Auto-categorize YNAB transactions with GPT-5-Mini and Discord notifications
## 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 1. Get a [YNAB Api Key](https://api.ynab.com/) 2. 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.
