Failed Monzo Transactions

[ganey]

Today I accidentally tried to pay for something with my Monzo card, but didn't have enough balance, so caused a failed transaction, as expected.

It did however still fire a webhook, hit my Heroku box, create an entry in YNAB, and mark it as cleared.

I'll try and re-simulate one with more logging, although it may just be that I'm on an outdated copy of this repo as I haven't re-deployed for a few weeks.

to be honest one of the best things you can do is capture the webhook using https://requestb.in.

This way we can see what the call looks like.

Maybe we need an enhanced logging mode the spits out the data received from the webhook call as is?

This seems like an issue on Monzo's end. They should not be firing transaction.created webhooks for failed transactions.

If this isn't temporary we can filter these transactions out via the property "include_in_spending" Managed to find one in my logs, but I can't tell if it got transaction.created. Possibly worth adding this filter anyway...
