With smart rules (the name for the automation feature) you choose the api-connected account you want to monitor and provide characteristics of transactions you want to detect in that account (like a specific bank transfer reference, a specific value range, etc). You then nominate the manual (offline) account you want to link the detected transactions to. So if you have set it to monitor for transactions from your current account with the reference “To Zopa” (for example) it will deposit that amount into your manual Zopa account and will will see a list of the smart-rule-applied transactions in that account.

It works well with most accounts, but unfortunately not with Monzo or Starling. The issue is Emma does not pull in bank transfer references from Monzo or Starling making it impossible to define precise rules. The issue was acknowledged over two years ago, but it doesn’t seem a high priority issue as it hasn’t been fixed.

This seems to be a searched field when using Emma’s search tool. However for Monzo accounts you only place the payee name in the grey text field and you place the transaction reference in a separate “details” field. The details field does not seem to be included…

Live chat told me to just wait till next month because maybe there just wasn’t enough time between creating the rule and making the transfer. Having seen this comment I’ve now gone and looked and the transfer from my Starling account just shows the payee (i.e. my name as it was a transfer to an offline savings account) in the block text right at the bottom of the transaction details page. It doesn’t seem that the tran…

Re goals…

You can assign single savings goals to single savings accounts. But I don’t think you can assign multiple goals to a single savings account. Also, I don’t think you can map multiple accounts to a single goal.
