bunq Assistant

The bunq Assistant is a Node.js / TypeScript based service to automate tasks on your bunq account(s).

This is a personal "weekend-project", and NOT an official bunq software.

Features

• Trigger actions on bunq accounts based on received emails
  • Action: Generic - transfer fixed amount when email comes with the specified address, subject and/or body
  • Action: Amazon.de - transfer order values from the Main account to the Amazon account
  • Action: LBB Credit Card - make sure the Amazon account has enough funds to pay the credit card bills
• Auto save money for kilometers and elevation ridden on Strava, daily or weekly
• Transfers can be fully automated, or as draft (with approval needed by the owner)
• Everything logged to the console by default, easily customized to log elsewhere
• Email notifications of failed transactions
• Easily add your own features via a plugins file

Planned features

• Support push or SMS notifications
• Create a single app-package using pkg
• Support hot-reloading of settings and modules (no need to restart the service)
• Web frontend to configure the settings and view status / logs

Why use bunq Assistant?

The idea came up once I decided to automate some of my bike related savings. I usually spare some money every month for the eventual replacement of chains, cassette, cables and other wear-prone parts. But it would be much cooler if I could do this automatically and based on my actual mileage, insead of a fixed monthly amount :-)

Amazon emails came next. I have an Amazon credit card used exclusively on Amazon, so whenever I purchase something, it would be great if the order amount could be moved to an account dedicated for the credit card payments.

Please note that although this project is open-source and relatively simple to customize to your needs, I am not interested in making it a full-fledged, cloud hosted platform for bunq automations. If that's you cup of tea, I suggest the great bunq2IFTTT. But I might change my mind, who knows...

And a big thank you to all the open-source warriors that are responsible for the libraries used by this project.
