Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Budget Settings
Tool to retrieve budget-level settings. Use when you need to fetch currency and date formatting preferences for a specific budget.
Why this helps
Ambiguous currency or date formatting makes extracted amounts harder to compare and can cause avoidable second guessing.
- Use the budget's configured formatting context
- Make extracted amounts easier to compare
- Reduce ambiguity in quick receipt notifications
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect VLM Run and YNAB to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in a channel you use.
- 3In one plain-language prompt, ask Notis to retrieve the YNAB budget settings and use their currency and date conventions when summarizing each VLM Run receipt extraction.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger, choose a report channel, and test with a receipt using a clear date and total.
Questions about this workflow
Does this convert foreign currencies?
No. Retrieving budget settings provides formatting preferences, not an exchange rate or currency conversion.
Can it show the original receipt amount?
Yes. Ask Notis to preserve the extracted amount and currency while formatting the summary clearly.
