carlosj Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Just now, cloudb said: Can't confirm but based on the post earlier it does appear that free trial is restricted to workflows that only have a single trigger and a single action. This would cover the tweet to SMS workflow that does the job. Thanks, I thought it should but was delaying signing up till this weekend.

Having to rely on Zapier now so fingers crossed. It won't work with Tesco mobile as Twitter only supports 3mobile, O2 and another network I've never heard of before. So it should work with my phone. I turned on mobile notifications for the glasto thingy account the other day, so I'm not sure why I now can't add anything. Edit: It's not available on O2, but is on Orange, and Sure was the network I'd never heard of. Sorry, should have checked first before posting Edited June 14, 2017 by musky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept that one quiet didn't they, cheeky rascals. They probably didn't keep it quiet to be fair, I just didn't know haha. I used to have an iPhone on 3. It was great. I had actual unlimited data. Crazy times. I could have had sms twitter notifications then. That would have been fun. I left that phone in a taxi on new years eve along with my bankcard and twenty quid. That was two and a half years ago now. Damn. Zapier better work hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never even heard of Zapier until it was mentioned in this thread, but it now looks like I'll be giving it a try. No idea why I can't select to get mobile notifications from any account now and I've spent more time on it than is sensible. Oh, and for anyone else wondering about SMS alerts it's not O2 it's available on, it's Orange. And the mystery network that also supports it is Sure.

Couldn't actually see all of the reply, but your response spoke volumes. It's very strange that I was able to activate my mobile via SMS, but not follow anybody. Actually, when you posted your question I could turn on notifications for accounts. Very strange. Anyway, that's the sole reason for me to specifically want a 3 mobile account gone. Goodbye Three, hello Orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have been citing a lack of demand for it, so that just leaves Orange as the only major provider for the service now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Create a IFTTT account if you haven't already, and you just need to find the 'recipe' (code) for getting an SMS notification IF a Twitter account Tweets. It's really easy, you can do it!
