Modifying Savers and Auto Transfers

[dcousens]

Use case

Managing many savers can be difficult, even with a modern sleek interface like Up.

For example, imagine I had a saver related to my dogs 🐶, it helps me track buying dog food (say, 5 AUD / week) and put a little aside for a rainy day in respect of unexpected VET bills (say, 30 AUD / month).

As it stands, I have to track these accumulative values manually, when I could have a spreadsheet that adds them together (5+(30*12/52))=12$/week and adjust my saver. If any of those values change, for example the dog food increases to 6 AUD / week, I can adjust that spreadsheet and automatically adjust my saver accordingly using the API.

Feature requests

Understandably, this would be non read-only functionality, and maybe a while before it is implemented, however.
The features I'd truly appreciate to achieve this goal would be

• Changing the 'Saver Amount' goal
• Changing the amount 'Auto Transfer'ed into the Saver
• Changing the frequency of the 'Auto Transfer'

Maybe these changes could be confirmed by the user in-app before they come into effect, but, at least the changes could be posited through the API.

Hi @dcousens

Thanks for reaching out. Exposing and managing Savers is definitely planned 👍

+1 on this.
I have a saver dedicated to ongoing expenses like subscription services and insurance and stuff. So it would be really neat to be able to just update a spreadsheet when something changes and let the API / a script handle the rest.

+1 on this.

I would be able to setup home automation with smart switches to automatically increase the goals of a saving based on power consumption. For example, how much heating will cost this month.

This would be even better if shared savings accounts can be updated too, so my room-mates know how much to pay towards power.
