With bunq Business accounts and Zapier, you can automate payments, track expenses, and receive instant notifications—without lifting a finger. Connect bunq to your messaging, accounting, or project management tools to bring important financial insights right where you need them.

Whether it’s tracking invoices, monitoring salaries, or managing taxes, these Zapier integrations help you stay on top of your finances with ease.

Let’s explore six powerful banking automations that will take your financial management to the next level.

What is Zapier? 

Zapier is an automation tool that connects bunq with 100+ apps and services, allowing you to automate repetitive tasks without coding. By creating "Zaps," you can instantly sync banking data with spreadsheets, receive transaction alerts, or even automate budgeting.

Note: Zapier integrations are available on bunq Business Pro and bunq Business Elite plans.

Is Zapier safe? 

Yes! Zapier follows industry-standard security measures, including encryption and two-factor authentication, to keep your data safe. However, always review the permissions you grant when connecting apps to ensure you only share necessary data.

1.  Get Real-Time Payment Alerts on Slack

Celebrate every transaction, big or small! With this Zap, you’ll get an instant Slack notification whenever money moves in or out of your account. No more checking your banking app—stay in the loop while keeping your focus on growing your business.

You'll always know when a payment is made, whether incoming or outgoing. Your team can stay updated without any extra effort, and it works seamlessly with other messaging tools as well.

2. Low Balance Alert to Avoid Bounced Payments

Never worry about insufficient funds again. This Zap sends a Slack alert when your balance drops below a set limit, giving you time to top up before a payment bounces.

If you’re already using bunq, you can also set up low balance notifications directly in your app under settings. Stay ahead of low balances, prevent declined transactions, and take action before it’s too late.

3. Instant Alerts for Large Transactions

Big transactions? Stay informed in real time. This Zap notifies you in Slack when payments exceed a certain amount, making it easy to track high-value expenses, employee spending, or unexpected withdrawals. This is especially useful for Bank Accounts linked to Employee Cards, keeping you informed in real time about high-value transactions.

Spot unusual activity instantly and keep an eye on large transactions effortlessly. Whether it's a major purchase or an unexpected expense, you’ll always be in the know.
