Bank data, reconciled and acted on — automatically

DatabaseAnalyticsFinanceDeveloperAutomation

BankSync is a financial data integration layer that connects your bank accounts, transactions, balances, and investment holdings to the tools your team already uses. Once connected, your agents can pull live balances, categorise transactions with enrichment rules, monitor sync jobs, and trigger downstream workflows the moment new financial data lands — turning raw bank feeds into structured, actionable intelligence without a spreadsheet in sight.

Eliminates manual work. BankSync automation eliminates the daily manual work of exporting bank statements, copy-pasting transaction data into spreadsheets, and hand-categorising recurring charges that enrichment rules handle in milliseconds.

Auto-reconcile payments as they land

When a customer payment email arrives, your agent pulls the matching transaction from BankSync, reconciles it against the open invoice, marks it paid in the ledger, and pings the CSM in Slack — the customer hears back before the finance team has even opened their inbox. No more end-of-day batch reconciliation, no more cross-referencing spreadsheets by hand.

How to plug BankSync into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

The fastest path to BankSync. Actionist's MCP server connects directly to your BankSync workspace using a permissioned API key handshake — your agents start reading transactions and managing feeds in under two minutes, with no manual credential wrangling.

1
Open the Apps tab

Find BankSync in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

2
Authorise in BankSync

In your BankSync workspace, navigate to Settings > API Keys, generate a new key with the scopes you need (read:transactions, read:accounts, and write:feeds are the most common), and paste it into Actionist.

3
Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to your BankSync accounts endpoint to verify the handshake. A green checkmark means your agents are ready to pull transactions and manage feeds.

FAQs

Questions about BankSync + Actionist

What credentials does BankSync require to connect?
BankSync uses workspace-scoped API keys in the format bsk_xxxxxxxx. Generate one under Settings > API Keys in your BankSync dashboard, assign the permission scopes your workflows need (at minimum read:accounts and read:transactions), and paste it into Actionist. The key never leaves your Actionist workspace and is encrypted at rest.
Which bank accounts and financial data types can the agent access?
Once connected, your agent can access banks, accounts, transactions, live balances, trades, holdings, loans, and data feeds — covering checking, savings, brokerage, and credit accounts that BankSync supports. Access is limited to the permission scopes assigned to the API key you provided.
How does the New Transactions trigger avoid re-processing old data?
The trigger uses BankSync's cursor-based incremental sync — it stores the position of the last processed transaction and only fires on records that appear after that cursor. The first run processes recent transactions; every subsequent run picks up exactly where the previous one left off, with no duplicates and no gaps.
What happens if a sync job fails mid-run?
The Sync Job Completed trigger fires on both success and failure. When a job completes with an error status, your agent reads the failure reason from the job record and can notify your team, retry with a manual Sync Feed action, or log the incident to your ops tracker. Partial data from a failed job is not written to the feed destination.
How do enrichment rules work and can the agent create them?
Enrichment rules match raw bank transaction descriptions against patterns (merchant name, amount range, or description keyword) and apply category tags automatically. Your agent can create new rules using the Create Enrichment Rule action — for example, when a new vendor is approved, the agent immediately creates a rule so all future transactions from that merchant are categorised without manual review.
Can the agent pull historical transactions or only new ones?
Yes. The List Transactions action supports date-range parameters, so your agent can request transactions from any period BankSync has data for. Use this for one-off historical pulls, audit evidence, or backfilling a new reconciliation system — the cursor-based trigger is for ongoing real-time use cases.
How do I avoid overwriting data if an agent runs twice on the same transactions?
The safest approach is idempotent downstream writes: use the transaction ID from BankSync as the unique key in your accounting system or spreadsheet, and upsert rather than insert. For the sync-job trigger, the completed status means each job fires exactly once, so duplicate triggers are not an issue — but idempotent writes protect you if a workflow is manually re-triggered.
What permissions does the agent need for feed management?
Creating, updating, and deleting feeds requires write:feeds scope on the API key. Triggering an on-demand sync requires write:jobs. Read-only workflows (listing transactions, checking balances) need only read:accounts and read:transactions. Assign the minimum scopes required for each integration key — use separate keys for read-only reporting agents and write-capable automation agents.
