How To Add Transactions With Siri In MoneyCoach

Use Siri to add a transaction in MoneyCoach by saying "Siri, Add transaction in MoneyCoach". When Siri asks for the amount, say the number and the currency together, such as 20 dollars, so the amount can be understood correctly.

TL;DR

• Say "Siri, Add transaction in MoneyCoach".
• When Siri asks "How much did it cost?", answer with amount and currency, for example 20 dollars.
• Choose the account and category if Siri asks follow-up questions.
• Use a fuller phrase when you already know the details, such as Add 20 dollars to Food in MoneyCoach.
• If Siri repeats the amount question, try again with the currency included.

Step-by-step guide

1. Make sure MoneyCoach is installed and updated.
2. Say "Siri, Add transaction in MoneyCoach".
3. When Siri asks "How much did it cost?", say the amount and currency together.
4. If Siri asks "How did you pay?", choose the MoneyCoach account.
5. If Siri asks "What category should I use?", choose the category.
6. Confirm any follow-up questions from Siri.
7. Wait for MoneyCoach to confirm that the transaction was logged.

Example Siri phrases

• Siri, Add transaction in MoneyCoach
• Siri, Add 20 dollars to Food in MoneyCoach
• Siri, Add 12 euros to Coffee in MoneyCoach
• Siri, Add 500 rupees to Groceries in MoneyCoach

The exact category and account names should match the names you use in MoneyCoach.

If Siri keeps asking for the amount

If Siri keeps repeating "How much did it cost?", the amount may not have been understood as money. Try saying the amount with the currency:

• Say 20 dollars instead of 20.
• Say 12 euros instead of 12.
• Say the currency name clearly, especially if your device language and app currency are different.

If it still does not work, open MoneyCoach and add the transaction manually for now. Then contact support and tell us the exact Siri phrase you used, your device language, and your MoneyCoach app currency.

When to use Siri

Siri is useful when you want to capture a simple transaction without opening the full app. For more control over account, date, category, description, location, repeating settings, or attachments, use the full Add Transaction flow.

If you often repeat the same transaction pattern, create a reusable MoneyCoach Shortcut. If you want to import eligible Apple Pay payments automatically, use the Apple Pay / Wallet Shortcuts automation.

Common mistakes

• Saying only the number when Siri asks for the amount.
• Using a category or account name that does not match MoneyCoach.
• Speaking too much detail at once when a shorter phrase would be easier for Siri to understand.
• Expecting Siri to add receipts, attachments, or advanced transaction details.

Additional information

Siri transaction entry uses Apple's Shortcuts and App Intents system. Availability and voice recognition can depend on your iOS version, device language, Siri language, and the names of your MoneyCoach accounts and categories.
