Joint account support and allow money to be taken direct out of pot instead of main balance then transferred from the pot 
IFTTT can take money in and out of pots directly. It’s passing it outside the boundary of your Monzo account that it won’t be able to do.

I just had the call with IFTTT. We defined how we will improve our communication & goals going forward and they also pitched IFTTT Connect to us.
TLDR; Connect is a way you can integrate IFTTT within the Monzo native app itself. This would make it much easier for users to setup automations (even if for the first time) without much knowledge/effort, all from within our app. That means users won’t have to even know www.ifttt.com exists. This would definitely drive up our 1.6% engagement.
This is something we will consider, but realistically won’t happen anytime soon.
I will keep you up-to-date.
Let me know if you have any other questions

Can you set something up so that it takes it direct from a pot @ say 23:50 and transfer to main account?
Yes, although as it’s a web service there’s a bit of leeway required on the timing.
If that’s what you want you can just use a time trigger.
But need it to work on JA pots
Education of users on the feature is key. I’ve seen far too many comments saying it’s unsafe etc.

That sounds amazing, I definitely took way too long initially just trying to mess about in IFTTT to make my own custom rules, not quite knowing what I was doing initially. But like @TheMullinator mentioned I could see it becoming something people might end up poking live chat about to clarify/ complain, so perhaps a short guide before starting one in-app is in order

Thanks again for the update @arthur-ceccotti 
The million dollar question that I and everyone else will likely want to know now is… when?
Putting aside the all singing and dancing IFTT Connect integration, I assume you’re still wanting to expand the current functionality by adding the features you gathered from our feedback last week? Did you manage to hash anything out with the team or make any plans?
Not looking to hold you to any strict deadlines or anything, just a rough estimation i.e. is this quarter feasible? 
I’m excited for the expansion of ifttt on Monzo.

Without making promises, I am working on joint account support right now. I will roll this out slowly (ie. one action/trigger at a time to start with), so you should expect to see some changes over the next few weeks.
Also making it generic enough so that we can have IFTTT support for US accounts in the future (specially for people who have both 
)

I will post here for all of you to test as we go

Kind of unrelated, but I’m also talking to the data team to find out how much profitability we get from IFTTT users over average users, which will hopefully help me sell it.
I won’t be able to share the numbers here though

That’s perfectly acceptable thank you 
It was just to stop what is happening in the thread for showing the Amex credit card in app. If you have a open ended date people just keep commenting with “any news”, “is this done yet” etc 
I worked at Amex for 3 years. If there is any slowdown on that thread, it’s probably not in the Monzo side, trust me

Probably not the best career move to start slating your previous employer on public forums
It’s quite unprofessional for a start and if AmEx do see it I’m sure they’re going to be less likely to cooperate with Monzo now than before
What kind of cooperation do Monzo need? Open banking means they should already have this available. The fact they don’t kind of proves what was just said

Clearly some or it would be done by now 
You have very strong opinions based on very weak or non existent information.
If you think a Monzo employee slating AMEX for not releasing a government mandated API for Open Banking would have any effect, you’d be sadly mistaken.
You can’t just make shit up.
