Best way to trigger a webhook every time I swipe my AMEX?

Question

I just played around a little with Plaid and Replit, and it seems insanely complex to get transactions from my AMEX account to trigger something like a Zapier web hook.I want to log each AMEX transaction in a Google Sheet.Has anybody set this up before? Easiest way?

Amex has a large purchase notification email you can set up. Have it go to a mailbox with a limit of like $0.01 if it will let you and trigger events based on when the email arrives.

You can get email notifications for transactions, posting those to a web hook shouldn&rsquo;t be hard.

If you prefer Airtable to Sheets, try Fintable. No additional tools needed (Zapier), you get an Airtable base with an archive of your transactions and an easy API to query. With options for connecting via Plaid OR Finicity as some banks don&rsquo;t work with one or the other.
