Move Eclosion funds when you log a new Strava route
How this automation works
Automatically move budget funds between categories in Eclosion when you maintain a streak of staying under budget for several months. This helps you reward yourself by reallocating savings toward personal goals or fun spending. For example, after keeping your groceries category under budget for three months, shift the savings into your travel fund.
