Good luck!

I wrote a post a while back about how I would like to be able to set up triggers to take action on deposits -- a sort of IFTTT for your bank. It sounds like Standard Treasury ultimately could make this possible, which would be awesome.

Don't Mint basically provide at least the "email alert" section that you're looking for?

You can basically do all what you're after with scraping, though the banks may want you to keep it down to one scrape a day.

Thanks for the link! We have this exact use case in mind, actually. Trigger based web hooks for transactions is definitely something a few people have mentioned to us and that we're talking to our bank partners about.

Ooh, yes I love this idea.

zt, when are you guys planning to make the API available to devs?

tbrooks, unfortunately it will be a couple of months until the products are ready for developers. Sorry! We're in contract negotiations and then we have to do the integrations. We might build sandboxes in a few weeks, but that only helps so much.
