How this automation works

Automatically save money toward your financial goal whenever one of your Beeminder goals is about to derail. This runs when any Beeminder goal moves into the red zone, transferring funds to a chosen Qapital goal. It's perfect for users who want to turn productivity slip-ups into savings motivation.
