Ability to Create Transaction Rules for Amounts and Accounts [edited] (7 Merged Vote)

This issue is why I'm switching to [Removed]

I write weekly checks in fixed amounts. Because it’s a check, Simplifi can’t see the payee and therefore can’t automatically assign a category. I want to assign a rule that all checks written for X amount get automatically assigned Y category.

They already have other things they're working on - can't churn out every feature request with top priority. They've made great progress on a very popular savings goal update. I'm sure they'll get to this.

Hoping they'll include Tags when they rework the Transaction Rules!

Please add amount as a selection to the transaction rule logic. This would help me tremendously.

Rules like this would be excellent. I was ready to make the switch over to simplifi from the one platform but I need the transaction rules especially for recurring transactions as our Rent is paid through Venmo.

Big thumbs up for this feature. Right now Simplifi works great except that every single check is unknown because they all include the exact same ids. I have a list of checks that are for the exact same amount, and same day of month, that I cannot create rules for.
As a new user, it's easy to move elsewhere. However, I'd prefer you add this feature.

I'd like to vote but I don't see a link. I have lots of transactions where this would be useful. i.e. the same insurance company bills for home owners and auto separately. I have to manually apply transactions each month. Or multiple reoccurring Zelle payments from the same payee with reoccurring amounts for different categories. Thanks

I have just started using Simplifi in the last week. I have 4 insurance policies with the same carrier. The payment withdrawals all happen on the same day. The inability to rename based on amount is quite frustrating.
This feature request has been open for 3 1/2 years. As someone who has programmed professionally for more than 50 years, I cannot believe that adding such a feature can be very complicated or risky. So what gives?

Another example: Purchases at a gas station. If greater than $30, categorize as Gas, otherwise, uncategorized (or food). Tracking a gas budget is near impossible with all of the things you may purchase at a gas station.

I have several online subscription payments that flow through PayPal. Everyone shows up as the same Payee and there seems to be no option to distinguish them from each other, in order to create unique Payee names relevant to each subscription.
If an "Amount of transaction" field was added to the Payee creation window, the app would have a way to recognize the unique info and assign the correct payee.2 -
YES! They've been seemingly ignoring our requests for this for years. Don't see why it should be difficult for them to do. Pretty please, Quicken, make this happen! You're way behind other apps in this regard, yet I don't want to have to switch to them.

Hear, hear!!!! PLEASE make this happen, Quicken!!!

+1 on rules for tags
Even just tags for individual accounts would help
e.g., I have business cards and personal cards and I want to tag transactions coming from them separately
Please add this feature.. would save me soooo much time. Thank you!!!

Is the Amount Matching feature they added in early access part of what we asked for in here?
0 -
go to settings > general and you can select early access and try the feature to see if it does the job.

Yea definitely not the correct feature lol Not even close.

Yeah, I started trying this out for my use case but it causes a lot of records on the series/reminders.. not really sustainable.

Yes, Dollar amount based rule would be helpful. I have two payments from Spectrum. One for Phone and one for internet both wih different fixed dollar amounts. It would nice to automatically have them placed in the proper category based on the dollar amount since they don't change every month

Across multiple accounts, I can receive a transaction like "Online Payment Thank You". I would like to apply a different name to this transaction like "American Express - Payment" or "Citibank - Payment" depending on the account in which it arrives. I would like to suggest an enhancement to the matching rules so that they can apply to ALL accounts or to SELECTED accounts (such as one or more accounts).

+1 for adding the amount as criteria….

agree, this would also be helpful for Amazon and Apple subscription services

I would like to see re-categorizing rules to include an optional dollar amount.
This is useful for example with Amazon, where I may have a monthly recurring charge of $2.99 that should be categorized as “Television” and other charges that I’d like to categorize as “Shopping”. The rule could look like this:
if ‘amount’ == X or (‘amount’>Y and ‘amount’<Z) then
Category = Television.
You could initially just program with the ==, which would suffice, but it would be better to give a range option as indicated with the Y and Z as shown above. Your competition (Monarch Money) allows this and it’s a very useful feature.2 -
Sorry! I actually did search for this in new features and saw nothing related to it. Otherwise, I certainly would not have posted it as a new request 😬.

This is the one thing [removed] is pushing as a "better alternative to Simplifi" I really agree, this absolutely needs to be in the next release. What makes it worse, is when you correct the error. For example from Gardening to Haircuts, it updates ALL of them, so you can never get both correct! Seems simple to me too. If you need help with a programmer, let me know or go to any Freshman class…

[ATTENTION] I think that if we’re all incredibly vocal on this thread , and just keep posting to bump it— they can’t ignore us anymore. We’re all “silently” waiting for this feature, but I think we need to be “vocally” demanding this feature. I don’t think they are taking it seriously. Like we need a chant as if we’re staging a walk out

I’ve been trying [Removed] along side Simplifi and I must say, because of this one thing, I’ve decided not to renew Simplifi next time. I will stick with [Removed]. I’m sure Simplifi doesn’t care, but that’s my decision. They have time to change my mind, but the clock is ticking. This isn’t a difficult feature.

I appreciate the deliberate pace of design and feature add but the low speed of progress is excruciating.

Please 'Simplifi' our lives by giving us the means to categorize transactions by their amounts. And rename them?
