How to Use Automation Effectively in Sumung

Auto Rules are the main automation tool in the Bank Accounts module - used well, they cut down significantly on manual categorization.

Steps

Tips for getting the most out of automation:

  • Start with your most frequent, predictable transactions (subscriptions, payroll, regular vendors) rather than trying to automate everything at once.
  • Use specific Conditions (exact payee names) to avoid one rule accidentally catching transactions meant for another.
  • Set rules to apply to "All bank accounts" only when the logic truly applies everywhere.
  • Periodically check "All rules" to retire or tighten ones that aren't matching as expected.
