Amex has a large purchase notification email you can set up. Have it go to a mailbox with a limit of like $0.01 if it will let you and trigger events based on when the email arrives.
- secondbreakfast 5y agoSmart idea. I want a little more structured data though, around merchant name and transaction amount.
- ev1 5y agoThe email contains card last digits, card type, merchant name, and transaction amount.
- rpier001 5y agoI expect the emails themselves are just formatted strings. You could use an email parser to get the structure back out. You or someone else mentioned Zapier webhooks, so https://parser.zapier.com/ https://parser.zapier.com/ might be extra relevant.
- secondbreakfast 5y agoAh, haven't heard of parser.zapier.com before. Yes I mentioned Zapier! This could be perfect, will report back.

- reustle 5y agoI've used this for years, but I believe the minimum is $5 or $10. It's amazing how instant it is most of the time, though. Sometimes I have an email before the card is back in my wallet.
- Jugurtha 5y agoI love reading things like these. Is there a word for the mushy feeling I get when people praise something or someone? 'Giddy' is the closest I can think of, but I'm looking for a word used only in this situation.
- macNchz 5y agoYeah this would be very easy to configure with Zapier if you use an email service with filters like gmail: just set a filter rule to auto-forward the email to a Zapier parsing address and you're good to go. I get notifications from Chase for purchases > $0.
