How do I get bank transactions via Plaid?

Short answer: You can get plaid transactions in Plaid by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Plaid Get Plaid Transactions action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
