You Need a Budget Overview#

The You Need a Budget (YNAB) API provides APIs to interact with YNAB users’
budgets, transactions, and more. With the YNAB API, developers have the ability
to build applications that are tailored to an individual's budget and financial
lifestyle.

Whether you're looking to create an app to assist with budgeting and tracking
expenses, generating reports, or getting a real-time view of an individual's
budget and movements, the YNAB API provides the tools to do it. The YNAB API is
easy to use, secure, and versatile.

Here are some examples of how you can use the YNAB API:

Build an application to track expenses and generate reports
Monitor the balances of multiple budgets
Generate a budget snapshot based on accounts
Create custom visualizations and analytics tools
Create notifications when specific budget values change
Automate budgeting tasks, such as transfers and payments between accounts
Create interactive dashboards and track real-time trends
Enforce budgeting rules, such as threshold limits or budget goal tracking

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets app.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Spreadsheet	`sheetId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Sheet Name	`sheetName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Row Values	`rows`	`string`	Provide an array of arrays. Each nested array should represent a row, with each element of the nested array representing a cell/column value (e.g., passing `[["Foo",1,2],["Bar",3,4]]` will insert two rows of data with three columns each). The most common pattern is to reference an array of arrays exported by a previous step (e.g., `{{steps.foo.$return_value}}`). You may also enter or construct a string that will `JSON.parse()` to an array of arrays.
Reset Row Format	`resetRowFormat`	`boolean`	Reset the formatting of the rows that were added (line style to none, background to white, foreground color to black, font size to 10, no bold, no italic, no strikethrough, horizontalAlignment to left). This is useful if you want to add rows to a formatted table in Google Sheets.

When you connect your Google Sheets account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Sheets and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account.
