Withdraw from Pot when main balance hits certain amount?

[Zooropa (Wayne)]

Hi
Is there way to use IFTTT to withdraw from a pot when account goes below a certain amount?

To control, or at least try, my spending I’ve transferred a bulk of my money after payday into a holding pot and left £50 in my account.
So say I spend £5 is there a way to trigger a pot withdrawal to bring it back to £50?

I currently have the IFTTT that transfers a weekly allowance from a pot active as an alternative to what I’m asking

no, because there’s no way to access a balance. Even using a google sheet to track each transaction wouldn’t work since IFTTT only sees card transactions.

Thanks!

An IFTTT trigger for account balance has been requested previously. You can vote for it here:

Not sure if anyone else is in a similar situation but I never get paid consistently on the same date or the same day every month and so it’d be perfect if I could use IFTTT to detect when I’ve been paid so I can move the bulk of it into my pots and the rest into my savings.
