Groxbot + YNAB
YNAB (You Need A Budget) is a budgeting tool helping users track expenses, plan finances, and gain control over spending to reduce debt
How a Bot uses YNAB

- Flag exceptions over policy. Never refund, pay, or submit evidence alone.
- Return a table: amount, reason, what to do next.
Never without you
- Refund, payout, or charge
- Submit a dispute

FAQ
Does Groxbot have a native YNAB integration?
Yes. Connect YNAB under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread — sending billing included.
Can a Bot change live YNAB data?
Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live YNAB writes wait for you.
Do I need a workflow builder?
No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
