FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve real-time balance data from multiple Plaid-connected accounts?

Real-time balance retrieval uses Plaid's /accounts/balance/get endpoint to fetch current balances across multiple accounts. This Skill automates the process, caching account IDs and supporting multi-account handling per Item, enabling you to display live balances without storing full account data.

What's the best way to build a multi-bank dashboard with live account data?

Multi-bank dashboards require coordinating account data, balances, and webhooks across institutions. This Skill handles account metadata retrieval, real-time balance updates via webhooks, multi-account coordination per Item, and account persistence, letting you display consolidated account information and live balances across banks.

How do I handle balance webhooks and account updates from Plaid?

Balance webhooks notify you of account changes in real time per Plaid documentation. This Skill integrates balance and other webhooks, automatically triggering updates when account data or balances change, eliminating the need for constant polling and keeping your dashboard current.

Can I manage multiple accounts and Items with account rotation support?

Yes. This Skill supports multi-account handling per Item and item rotation, allowing you to manage several institutions and accounts simultaneously while rotating Items as needed, enabling flexible account management across your application.

What account data and types does Plaid provide through account endpoints?

Plaid account endpoints return account IDs, names, types (depository, credit, loan, investment), and subtypes. This Skill retrieves and organizes this metadata, giving you complete account classification and details needed to categorize and display accounts in your application.
