Questions
Does Outlayr log Apple Pay purchases automatically?
Yes, on iPhone. Once the Shortcuts automation is on, each Apple Pay tap is logged in Outlayr with its amount and merchant.
Which account does an Apple Pay purchase go to?
Each card you pay with shows up in Settings, under Apple Pay. You choose the account its purchases go to.
What about cards that are not in Apple Pay?
A second automation reads the purchase notification from your bank's app and logs the amount and the merchant from its text.
