Plaid

Plaid bank account and transaction sync

Plaid is the financial-data API — connects users' bank accounts (10,000+ institutions in US/Canada/Europe) to fintech apps for transaction sync, balance checks, and ACH-payment initiation. Tiny Command exposes three actions, no triggers (Plaid emits webhooks for transactions-updated, item-error events; configure in the Plaid dashboard pointing at a Tiny Command webhook trigger URL): Exchange Public Token (the OAuth-handshake helper — converts the public_token from Plaid Link into an access_token for API use), Get Accounts (the user's account list — checking, savings, credit, loan accounts with balances), Get Transactions (paginated transaction history with category, merchant, location enrichment). The connection uses Plaid client_id + secret from the Plaid dashboard with environment toggle (sandbox, development, production — each has different test data and rate limits). Plaid is the infrastructure layer; the user-facing flow uses Plaid Link (a JS-embedded auth widget) to capture credentials, then your backend exchanges the public_token for an access_token that the workflow uses for ongoing API calls.

Actions

Do anything Plaid can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

Action	What it does	Inputs
Exchange Plaid Public Token	Converts the short-lived public_token from Plaid Link into a long-lived access_token for ongoing API calls. The first step in the Plaid integration flow after the user connects their bank.	1 fields	View →
Get Plaid Accounts	Returns the user's connected bank accounts with balances, types (checking, savings, credit, loan). For displaying account summary in fintech app dashboards.	1 fields	View →
Get Plaid Transactions	Returns paginated transactions with category enrichment (Plaid auto-classifies into Food, Travel, etc.). For PFM apps, expense-tracking workflows, business-banking reconciliation.	4 fields	View →

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Plaid once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Plaid field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the Plaid integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect Plaid to Tiny Command?

Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a Plaid node, and click Connect. Authorize Plaid once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.

What Plaid triggers does Tiny Command support?

Tiny Command focuses on outbound actions for Plaid today. Use Tiny Command's universal Webhook or Schedule trigger to start Plaid workflows, then run any Plaid action you need.

What Plaid actions can I run from a workflow?

3 Plaid actions are available out of the box, covering other operations like "Exchange Plaid Public Token". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.

Is the Plaid integration real-time?

Plaid actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for Plaid's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.

Do I need to write code to use Plaid with Tiny Command?

No. Every Plaid trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any Plaid API endpoint directly.

How much does the Plaid integration cost?

There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The Plaid integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
