Various events swirling around us at an incredible rate. All information flows faster, every second something happens and everyone wants to follow. Unfortunately, it is difficult to make, so the most interesting topics, as a rule, we add to favorites, subscribe to a variety of sources and always get the news quickly enough. This, oddly enough, often helps you with our mobile iPhone one, who with the help of so-called Push-notifications always keeps us up to date with the news. But if you want more "freedom", the iOS you in this not help, because the closure system does not allow third-party applications are deeply integrated into the system. And what if you want to receive notifications from the place where it is not envisaged initially? Move to Android, where millions of options, or yet to address this issue through the applications built for iOS?
Hopefully, I intrigued. Let us explain in more detail what he wanted to convey.
So, we all know that the notice - a very useful feature in our gadgets. I received a letter - bang! The screen will display a notification of new mail. Mentioned on Twitter - wham! Read what you wrote. Virtually any application has support for notifications that you have always been aware of the news and current topics. Difficulties arise when there is no application, and stay up to date certainly want to any site for one reason or another. In this case, help us wonderful service and Pushover app.
Pushover - a service for the delivery of the notification to our iOS-devices. If there is any site, the news we want to watch, but its application is not in the AppStore, the mood is always Pushover announced a new article on the site. But, unfortunately, one Pushover not cope with such a task, he needed an assistant. In our case it will be a wonderful service IFTTT, which have repeatedly wrote Artem Kozoriz in their articles.
Let's take the example of our site, consider setting IFTTT service in conjunction with a Pushover.
To get started you need to register pushover.net. After registering, you will receive a unique key, which you will need to activate the channel Pushover in IFTTT. Come on ifttt.com and using the issued key channel activate Pushover`a.
Now we need to create a recipe in IFTTT, who will watch the news on the site and when a new post to report this Pushover`u, which, in turn, will send us a notification smartphone.
IFTTT to know when updated content on your site, it is necessary to "feed» RSS-tape, in which the news will appear. To open this service and as a first channel (If) indicate «Feed».
We will be offered two options: «New feed item» and «New feed item matches». They are both in their own interest. Consider just a second, which may give us a little more room. In it we can not only keep track of new articles on the site, but also to monitor the specific authorship.
In the first field, we can specify the name of the author, such as Kutuzov, and the second - RSS-tape of the site: http://macradar.ru/feed. Half done, it is necessary to specify where the data will be used with RSS - it will Pushover.
Select the appropriate channel and then get up in front of goal. Here it is not so basic. In both cases send notification Pushover, the exception will be only its importance, which will be displayed in the ribbon of red applications. Select the desired option and click «Finish» button.
Our recipe is ready. Now, when a new article will be released under my authorship, Pushover will send you a notice with its title and a link to the post.
For those who are too lazy to delve into the current process is a link to the recipe, use:
This recipe is used for the notification that the articles under my authorship. Accordingly, if you want to keep track of another author, change my name on it. If you want to receive all notices about new articles, use this recipe.
Of course, it's not all applications that can be removed from service. For example, in the same way you can set up notifications for individual posts in Instagram via Pushover.
Instagram first predetermined channel, which shall include the name we are interested in a particular user, and choose the effect that as soon as he spit out a new photo, this information will go to Pushover. And then he Pushover tell us that such and such a user uploaded a new photo.
Now a little about the applications and services in particular. Out of interest, what is the mobile client, we can note the notification sounds and individual setting for those who use the mobile Chrome browser. In the first case, you can choose one of several sounds, and in the second - to specify the application to open links are not in Safari, and Google's browser.
If we talk about the service as a whole, it does have limitations:
- for a free account, you can send no more than 7500 notifications per month.
- notifications come with some zederzhkoy. How to say on the website, it can not be molee 10 minutes. But it's not as scary as it seems.
