IHAB holds your planned amounts. When Sequence's rules execute, they call IHAB for the current number — to the cent, every time. Budget changes automatically flow to the next execution. IHAB also reads actual balances back from Sequence so you can track real progress inside your budget.
IHAB tracks your budget month by month. The API returns your set-aside amounts in cents — exactly the format Sequence needs for automated transfers.
Priority-ordered set-asides. Set the order with drag-and-drop.
POST /api/v1/sequence/entity/:entityUuid/amount Authorization: Bearer ihab_sk_•••••••• { "amountInCents": 45000 }
Sequence POSTs the entity UUID. IHAB responds with the current planned amount in cents for the linked set-aside. No body required — the UUID is the lookup key.
Enter your income, recurring expenses, and scheduled set-asides — savings goals and non-monthly expenses in one unified list. Set priority order by dragging set-asides into position. IHAB calculates how much flows to each allocation after expenses, every dollar accounted for.
In IHAB settings, connect each scheduled set-aside to a Sequence entity UUID. Generate an API key in IHAB and add it to your Sequence configuration. IHAB stores keys as SHA-256 hashes — we never see your key after creation.
When a Sequence rule executes, it POSTs to IHAB's entity endpoint and receives the current planned amount in cents. When you change a goal, override a monthly amount, or reprioritize — the next Sequence execution gets the updated number automatically. IHAB also reads actual balances back from Sequence so you can track real progress in your dashboard.
That is 1–2 hours back every month. Over a year, that is a full workday you are not spending on rule management.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Per-entity endpoint (Sequence uses this) | POST /api/v1/sequence/entity/:entityUuid/amount |
| Aggregate endpoint (legacy, still available) | GET /api/v1/summary/sequence/transfers |
| Auth | Bearer token (API key generated in IHAB dashboard) |
| Response format | JSON |
| Amounts | Integer cents (e.g. 45000 = $450.00) |
| Rate limit | Standard API rate limiting applied |
| CORS | Restricted to authorized origins |
Sequence POSTs to /api/v1/sequence/entity/:entityUuid/amount with the entity's UUID in the path. IHAB looks up the linked scheduled set-aside and responds:
{
"amountInCents": 45000
}
No body required in the request. The UUID is the lookup key. Authentication is via Bearer token.
API keys are generated in your IHAB dashboard under Settings > API Keys. Each key is displayed once at creation — IHAB stores only the SHA-256 hash. Keys can be revoked instantly. You can have multiple active keys.
The aggregate GET /api/v1/summary/sequence/transfers endpoint remains available for custom integrations that want a full snapshot in a single call.

Each of these changes is reflected in real time. The next time Sequence calls the IHAB entity endpoint, it gets the updated amount. No manual sync step — IHAB does not push updates to Sequence.
IHAB reads actual account balances back from Sequence for every linked entity. This gives you planned-vs-actual visibility for every goal and budget category inside IHAB — without needing to connect a bank account directly.
You already pay for Sequence because automation matters to you. IHAB adds the budgeting methodology that tells Sequence what to automate — and reads the results back so you can see real progress.
