Issue with Automatic Transaction Import via GoCardless in Firefly III

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to set up automatic transaction imports via GoCardless, but I feel like I might be missing a step or configuration detail. Could you please help me figure out what might be going wrong here?

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
1. I’m running Home Assistant OS, and I’ve installed the Firefly III and Firefly III Data Importer add-ons.
2. I configured Firefly III and linked it to Firefly III Data Importer.
3. I registered on GoCardless and added the ID and KEY to the Firefly III Data Importer configuration. I also enabled the CAN_POST_AUTOIMPORT and (not sure if necessary) CAN_POST_FILES options. Additionally, I set the update frequency to hourly.
4. I performed a manual sync with my bank, and everything works fine when done manually. I also downloaded the configuration file and placed it in the /addon_configs/xxx-fireflyiii_data_importer/import_files folder.

After that, when I start the Firefly III Data Importer add-on, the logs show the following entry:
“Automatic updates were requested. The files in /config/import_files will be imported hourly.”

And that’s it—nothing happens after that, no hourly updates, not even daily ones. No matter how long I wait, the process doesn’t seem to run.

What could I be missing here?

I’m not familiar with this addon, by thanks for opening my eyes to it. Just an observation, but shouldn’t CONFIG_LOCATION* be set to /config/addon_configs/ (or possibly just /addon_configs/) since that’s where you put it?

I haven’t changed this option; it’s set as default in the addon. The documentation doesn’t really say much about it either. Honestly, I don’t think this is the issue.

But thanks! I’ll try testing a few different options here anyway. :slight_smile:

Facing the exact same issue as well. Not sure what else needs to be configured.

I also setup the 16 characters password in the importer addon config options that appears after enabling auto post options.

Did you manage to make it work?
