Hi, Thank you for sharing.
I am running Fava in docker on a server. A periodic job is a solution. I am leaning towards reusing existing tools such as n8n or Apache Airflow and as low-code, open-source and self-host-able as possible. A cursory glance reveals if webhooks exists in Fava or beancount, the entire workflow would work. I probably should check the beancount contribution list.
