The transactions auto-export feature is the singular reason I pay any money to monzo for a current account. It’s great in theory but is fundamentally broken since your pots transactions don’t export and are essentially invisible.
Chiming in with everyone else here, if you can’t get the basics right and seem to completely ignore the user feedback regarding fixing it, then am I just a mug for continuing to pay each month?
agree entirely and posting this for visibility, if nothing is done i’ll be cancelling my Monzo Plus subsription, it is pointless without accurate exports to google sheets.
I’d just cancel now if you feel that way about it. You can always restart it later.
FWIW it was a very small part of the reason I cancelled mine some years ago.
Yeah it’s not getting fixed. It’s abandoned at this point pretty much.
This topic is from 2021 and all they’ve done is made it worse. The interest you used to get on a Plus/Premium account would at least show, now it doesn’t appear at all.
It’s still my favourite feature but it comes with a large asterisk.
Currently the Google Sheet only appears records transactions which are done my the main cards. But with the virtual card features which are attached to pots, it would be good to have these also download to the Google Sheet function.
I download the sheet and use AI to create summaries so it would be good to have the entire picture. At the moment I have a number of virtual cards connected to pots which deal with different aspects of my spending
I’m really confused by this not being implemented yet, it’s really frustrating to not be able to more accurately track this stuff, especially when the virtual card and pot combo is such a potent budgeting tool.
This was really just a developer’s pet project from back when Monzo used to do those things. I don’t think there has been any meaningful work on this for years and wouldn’t be surprised to see it axed at some point.
Therein lies the problem. This is fine as a free feature, but charging people for it as part of a package and not maintaining it is criminal.
I stopped paying for the premium tiers and using the Sheets export a long time ago partially because of this.
Just been directed here from this thread:
Does anyone know what format / how the data is transferred/downloaded?
Is it standard .csv/XLSX/TSV?
Is it always routed via Google Sheets?
I’d love to be able to use it but I am ‘de-Googled’ so would want to open it in another program where possible.
It makes a Google Sheet on your Google Drive and keeps it updated in (more or less) real time.
So if you are deGoogled I don’t think there’s a way to make it work.
You can download a csv from the app, obviously.
Nearly 5 years on, this is by far my biggest gripe with Monzo. I’ve semi-solved it with my personal account, instead of using a virtual card linked to a pot, I use Flex and then clear that with the pot. But it’s extra steps and hassle that I shouldn’t have to do.
My joint account? There is no workaround. Any card payment comes from the main account as otherwise the balance isn’t correct. How is this acceptable? More subscriptions.
A new one today (hence the moan) for a sports club and now it’s going to come out of the account in the middle of the month, which I run a tight ship on, because Monzo products don’t play nicely together.
I’d love to use virtual cards from a pot, something people were asking for, for years before they appeared and here we are, 5 years on from their introduction and it still doesn’t work properly. For something I pay for.
2 and 3 are still broken too btw. 3 is actually worse because the interest from pots doesn’t appear anywhere.
So I I find the Google doc excel sheet auto syncing very useful but I doesn’t seem to include transactions from specific pots/associated virtual cards.
Is there a way to solve this?
This was a recent change and it now works
Any time they add a new feature to the sheet, you need to disconnect and reconnect.
The latest version does include the pot spending, but specific virtual card used isn’t in there.
