Webhooks

To get Starling webhooks working with this app, you need to set up a personal webhook in the Developer Console. To do that:

1. First, you need to decide which YNAB account Fintech to YNAB should send these transactions to. You can either set the YNAB_STARLING_ACCOUNT_ID environment variable to your YNAB Account ID, or you can pass the ynab_account_id parameter into the webhook URL below.
2. Login to https://developer.starlingbank.com with your starling account
3. Click "Personal Access"
4. Click "Create V2 Webhook" and select the types you wish to track.
5. Give it any name
6. Paste the URL of your app (see Getting Started for how to set it up) into the "Payload URL" field, followed by /starling. For example: "https://scott-monzo-to-ynab.herokuapps.com/starling
7. Select the "Feed Item" event type
8. Save

URL Secrets will not work at this time for Starling V2 Webhooks
