Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I understand that real-time syncing to SimpleFin is not practical, It would however be really useful if the system can track the last sync time, and if 12 hours have passed since the last sync, trigger a sync on page load so that we do not have to manually sync to the banks every time we go into the system. Since many of us come from systems such as YNAB, which does this automatically, this would make things that much easier to adjust to.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Store the last sync time. On page load, check to see if 12 hours have passed, and if it has, trigger a sync automatically.

I would make this optional, and configurable, as GoCardless has a low limit and if you sync more than one account per day you already surpass it.
