Adding transaction data to numbers spreadsheet
Goal: automate my personal budget hosted on apple numbers using shortcuts.
Info:
- I have seen an automation for "When I tap my X card" trigger
- have created empty table in my apple numbers spreadsheet specifically for transaction data to help with formatting issues
- shortcut:
- card tapped
- get transaction data as input
- Add input to bottom of "CARDTRANSACTIONS" (table )in "ACTIVITY"(sheetname) in "Budget" (spreadsheet)
issues:
- Error received: conversion error. Shortcut failed because Shortcuts couldn't convert from Transaction to Text
- because I can only test this when I using apple pay, the troubleshooting and development is extremely slow.
- I'm not even sure what the transaction data even looks like to do the formatting properly because I'm having an issue with moving it anywhere
relative newbie to shortcuts and that's because the development environment is lacklustre, please explain in terms of a 5 year old. I'm thinking about splitting the data into component variables to try and get around the format issues.
