If a webhook is triggered, get a mobile notification
How this automation works
Create You Need A Budget transactions automatically from incoming Maker Webhooks. When Maker Webhooks receives a JSON event, this Applet creates a transaction in your You Need A Budget plan using the event payload. This helps you log purchases, IoT events, or form submissions to You Need A Budget for seamless budgeting and expense tracking. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
