Financial Transaction Notifications via Telegram

Shared as part of a broader automation setup by @kimochi_desu: a custom skill that monitors financial accounts and fires Telegram notifications for every transaction.

What It Does

• Monitors connected financial accounts
• Fires instant Telegram notifications on new transactions
• No manual checking required
• Built alongside a job application bot as part of a personal automation stack

Context

Built by a full-time parent who needed maximum automation with minimal effort. The financial notification skill runs alongside job application automation — both designed to reduce daily manual tasks while caring for a toddler.

Why Finance Notifications via Agent?

• Native bank apps have delayed notifications
• Agent can enrich notifications (category, running balance, budget alerts)
• Extensible: easy to add rules ("alert me if >$200", "flag subscriptions")

Beginner-Friendly

This is one of the lower-complexity finance use cases — no trading logic, no API risk. Just monitoring + notification.
