Allow renaming of synced accounts

Open DouglasRose opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

It'd be great to be able to rename account

For example, I have two Metro Bank accounts. Both are called 'Current Account' in the Account field in the Google Sheet and it's impossible to differentiate between them when I'm reviewing transactions

I ended up using the "accountId" field as a workaround for this ... not ideal but you can use that to drive your labeling.

Hey @DouglasRose @mazzarin – I'd encourage you to explore all the available properties in the Plaid Transactions API:

https://plaid.com/docs/api/products/transactions/

If it's not there, it's not being returned by either Plaid or by your bank. You can experiment with adding non-default ones to this block in your mintable.json

    "transactions": {
        "integration": "google",
        "properties": ["date", "amount", "name", "account", "category", "pending"],
   }

If you're still not getting the data you need, you could use a Transaction Override Rule to import the account ID/number (unique according to Plaid), and then translate it to a friendly account nickname.
