  2. Go to Automation.
  3. Tap + and pick Wallet.
  4. Choose Credit Card Tapped.
  5. Search Kibo and add Add expense.
  6. In the first field tap Variable → Merchant.
  7. In the second field tap Variable → Amount, then Save.

Or run it manually

The Apple Pay automation handles the tap-to-pay case. For everything else (cash, splits, that thing you bought online), pick whichever of these feels least like opening an app.
