Amazon Order Matcher
Automatically categorize Amazon purchases in Monarch Money by matching against Amazon order history.
How It Works
- Scrape Amazon Orders: Browser automation (profile
openclaw) extracts order history - Match Transactions: Matches by amount (exact match) with date tolerance (bank posts 1-3 days after order)
- Categorize: Auto-assigns categories based on Amazon product descriptions
- Update Monarch: Batch updates via Monarch CLI

# Extract orders via JavaScript evaluation (see scripts/extract_orders.js)
