Right, but what about this one then https://ifttt.com/applets/YWw8tFCm-redeem-grocery-purchases-from-a-pot
You need an IFTTT Developer (Platform) account then you set a trigger of all card purchases and the action and then configure a filter string of:
If (category != DesiredCategory) DesiredActionSkip()
For example, I want ‘eating out’ purchases to come out of my pot you would set the trigger of all card purchases, and action to move from pot and then the filter would be;
If (Monzo.cardPurchase.Category != “Eating Out”) Monzo.PotWithdraw.skip()

Someone created a set up where you can say “Hey Alexa, has been good”. And it put .50p into a pot.
Any ideas if this can be done somehow with Siri? I have access to Siri shortcuts and workflow but overall not sure how I would get this going?
Don’t think this is feasible at present, the integration between iOS features and IFTTT is pretty lacklustre compared to android at present… there isn’t a lot you can trigger/control on an iPhone using IFTTT
I’ve worked it out!
Using iOS 12 Siri shortcuts:
Create workflow to trigger IFTTT
Create Siri shortcut to run workflow
Create IFTTT to put money in a pot if Workflow runs.
Just run it and it works perfectly! 
Well, Siri opens the workflow app to run so not perfect as you have to close it. Would have been great if that just ran in the background.

ah good stuff, I did wonder if there was a workaround - would be nice if more iOS stuff was in IFTTT though, like with android “put my phone on silent” etc…
I’m hoping that if workflow dies then shortcuts (apples new name for it) still integrates with IFTTT. If so then you should be able to create a shortcut to put your phone on silent and run it that way.
Sound like the opportunities for iOS could be a lot more powerful with iOS 12 then! (I always get nervous running beta’s so I’ll wait for GM)
It has been the most stable beta for a really long time.

Is there anyway to move money in/out of pot when you receive money based on a specific amount and reference?
For example, I receive rent every month from tenants (but it varies by date every month). Would be cool if i could do a
- If amount = £600
- If reference = rent
- Move £600 into Rent Pot
But I don’t see anyway to do anything based on reference, or even money received?
Currently - no.
Money coming in triggers aren’t here yet but are hopefully coming soon.

I third this, I would like to be able to make some for Personal Care and Transport budgets/pots. Is this doing using ingredients only. If so which have you used? Thanks 
some very good ideas you have.

I’ve just set up an IFTTT action that I’m pretty damn proud of. It’s the logic of it that I’m so happy about.
I wanted to save the money I would have spent on a coffee, every day that I DON’T buy a coffee.
So I set up an IFTTT action to move the cost of a coffee into a pot every weekday morning at 8am.
Then I set up a second one, basically saying if I DO buy a coffee, move the cost of that coffee OUT of the pot.
So, on days that I DON’T buy a coffee, the cost gets saved to a pot, and on days that I DO buy a coffee, the cost is removed from the pot to cover the cost of that coffee.
Anyone else got any “nested” IFTTT applets that they’d share? Any interesting logic being used? I’d love to get more in depth with the IFTTT developer tools - anyone using them?

Just to confirm, when you buy a coffee, your pot won’t actually go down in balance because it’s just taking out what you’d put in at 8AM. Were you wanting that or were you wanting the cost of the coffee to be taken from the starting balance of that day? (If so then you obviously just need to double the price of the coffee coming out of the pot when you buy one)
That’s right. The savings will be my incentive not to buy coffee. But if I do buy a coffee, I want the cost to come out of what I’ve already saved.
I figure if I can save 4 days out of 5 I’ll have a nice little reserve built up after a while.

Yeah, so if you want the cost to come out and have a net loss in the pot for the day you buy the coffee, you have to double the IFTTT withdrawal to combat the money going in at 8AM
