Log your Venmo and PayPal payments in a Google Sheet

Every Venmo or PayPal payment you send or receive becomes a row in a Google Sheet you own, from their payment emails.

Ask your AI assistant:

“TrackerHacker my Venmo and PayPal payments”

How it works

In Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, type TrackerHacker my Venmo and PayPal payments.
The first time, your assistant asks you to connect TrackerHacker. Sign in with Google and tap Allow. That's your sign-up too: there's no separate account to make.
Your assistant makes the sheet in your own Google Drive (the ready-made Transactions sheet) and tells you what's left to do.
Venmo (venmo@venmo.com) and PayPal (service@paypal.com) email you for each payment. Forward them to your TrackerHacker address with a Gmail filter.
From then on TrackerHacker fills the sheet by itself, day and night, even when your assistant isn't open. Ask your assistant about it any time.

Date: The day it happened, in your timezone.
Merchant / Description: Who was paid or paid you, e.g. Trader Joe's
Amount: -12.50 for money out, 12.50 for money in
Currency: ISO code such as USD; blank means your usual currency.
Account: Which card or account it was, e.g. "Visa 1234".
Category: A spending category. Open text: each sheet template sets its own list of categories.
Type: debit: money out; credit: money in; transfer: between your own accounts.
Transaction status: planned: money you mean to spend, added ahead; pending: the bank hasn't settled it yet; posted: settled. Blank means posted.
Bank reference: The bank's id for the transaction, when the message has one. The same on its pending and posted alerts, so a later alert updates the row.

Venmo only emails if payment emails are on: in the Venmo app, Me → Settings → Notifications → Email.
Splitting costs with friends? Ask your assistant who still owes you, and it reads the sheet.
Fixed rules called hacks write each row, not AI guesses, so the same email always makes the same row.
TrackerHacker keeps none of your mail: each message is read once, and the rows live only in your own sheet.
