## Set up your first sync

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect an account">
    Click **Add Connection** and choose your bank. This opens the Fiskil consent flow where you select your bank and log in via the Consumer Data Right.

    Your credentials are handled by Fiskil and are never stored on Redbark servers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select accounts">
    Once connected, your accounts appear automatically. Choose one or more accounts to include in the sync.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a destination">
    Click **Add Destination** and choose where to send your data:

    * **[Google Sheets](/google-sheets)**: transactions
    * **[Airtable](/airtable)**: transactions
    * **[Notion](/notion)**: transactions
    * **[You Need a Budget](/ynab)**: transactions
    * **[Webhook](/webhook)**: transactions

    Sign in with your account to grant access, then select the specific spreadsheet, database, or budget.

    You can also sync to self-hosted apps like **[Actual Budget](/actual-budget)** and **[Sure](/sure)** using standalone Docker tools.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review data fields">
    Each sync writes 12 transaction fields including date, amount, currency, description, category, and merchant. See the [destinations](/destinations) page for the full field reference.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a date range and create">
    Pick how far back to pull transactions, then click **Create Sync**. Your first sync runs immediately. New data syncs automatically from there.

    Trial users can create one sync, capped at three months of history.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After setup

Use the sidebar to manage your [syncs](/syncs), [connections](/connections), and [destinations](/destinations). [Consents](/consents) lives under Settings. Open any sync to see its [Activity Feed](/runs) of recent runs, or trigger a manual sync with **Sync Now**.
