Common Questions
How does IFTTT work?
IFTTT is an automation platform that connects to the services you use every day. On IFTTT, you can build your own automations called Applets.
An "Applet" is a rule you create by combining two services together 🔗. It consists of a "trigger" and an "action". A trigger is an event that happens to set off your Applet, like tweeting or making a purchase on your Monzo card. An action is something you would like to happen as a result of the trigger, like moving money into a pot.
What triggers does Monzo support?
Right now, Monzo supports five triggers.
Any card purchase
Any card purchase at a merchant of your choice
Any card purchase below an amount of your choice, optionally at a specific merchant
Any card purchase above an amount of your choice, optionally at a specific merchant
