Frequently asked questions
Here are 6 practical steps to build an expense tracking app and go live with it:
- Decide who logs expenses: Choose between just you, a household or a team that submits and approves. Built-in user logins let each person sign in, and roles can separate submitters from approvers.
- Define the data: List what each entry holds, such as amount, date, category and payment method. Base44 creates a data table with those fields, and you can edit entries from your app's dashboard.
- Prompt the basics: Ask for sign-in, a dashboard of expenses and monthly spending limits. Describe it in the AI chat, and Base44 builds the expense form, the dashboard and the limit checks.
- Add charts and receipts: Request pie charts by category and an upload field for receipt images. Ask for each in a follow-up message, and file uploads handle the receipts.
- Turn on alerts: Ask for weekly summaries, or connect Slack to post a message when a limit is passed. From the chat, set up the email summary as a scheduled task, and add Slack from the integrations catalog.
- Share with your people: Test the full flow in the preview with a week of real entries before anyone else joins. Click Publish to get a live link, then invite your team to sign in.
Your database, logins and hosting come built in, and you refine by chat instead of rebuilding. Begin by typing your five most common expense categories into one prompt.
