Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/5563

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 am the maintainer of https://github.com/seriouslag/actual-auto-sync
This is a tool that runs the Bank Sync on a schedule.

I would like to see this feature in the main repo and a UI, and would like some feedback on whether this is a feature that is in alignment with the project.

I have the energy to add the backend sync and frontend UI changes with support.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

My ideal solution is a setting where the user can configure a time for the auto bank sync.

My thoughts on what I need to add

  • is an API endpoint or modify an existing one to handle adding a new setting
  • New text input box that you can enter a cron time, with validations.

Note:

  • This setting will be set per budgetId
  • I am thinking something like bankSyncCron
  • On server startup, if there is a bankSyncCron, then we will register the cron
  • on tick - we will run the bankSync for all accounts.

Questions:

  • Where is the entry point for the server, in code?
  • Where would I look, in code, to set a new setting per budget?
  • What is the policy on adding a new npm package, I would add the cron package?

Closing as duplicate of #3831.

I think it would be a very nice thing to have as a plugin once that gets finished
