Secret glasto

[Razza_bezza]

Hi guys so every year we have the secret glasto account giving us ideas of hidden sets, I have it set up to my phone to get txt alerts and twitter alerts but I can’t for the life of me remember how to set it up, and my mate who’s never been before wants it setup, can anyone give me the heads up of how to do it, mainly txt alerts as he doesn’t really use twitter

 

thanks in advance

talking of secret glasto in one of the early incarnations of Shangri LA there were numerous doors in those corridors you could push and you would find something very odd.

I'd check this thread:

(disclaimer - this is free, but something I put together - I'll remove this post if inappropriate)

But I hope it's helpful.

Hi! I'm not a big twitter user but I think I've just managed to get tweet alerts set up for Secretglasto.

In the top right corner next to the Following/Follow button there are 3 dots. Click on that, click on 'Turn on mobile notifications' and then go through the steps to set up your mobile. This should just be entering your mobile number, then Twitter send you a verification code which you enter and submit.

Hope that helps!

I used Zapier in 2017 and it worked a treat. Got us into the John Peel in time for Killers.

Doesn't it take the excitement of a secret set away?

Probably, but it’s not compulsory to use it. Besides, it’s not exciting if you don’t know anything about it until after it’s happened.

Anyone know if it's possible to get tweets sent to your phone via text? My festival phone doesn't have internet. In 2017 I used something called something like IFTT, but I only got about 3 texts before it wanted me to pay (which I didn't know as I had no internet...).

I wish I'd used that.  I had no idea at all that the Killers would be playing. They really kept that under their hats.

It does a bit to be fair.  But arguably not seeing a set takes quite a lot of the excitement away too.

I do always wonder - the clues in the title , a secret set should be secret..... takes your chances on who it is,,, and if you miss it .. oh well !

Zapier. Very simple to set up and works a treat.

I'll give it a try, thanks.

That's also part of the excitement isn't it? Should I risk missing band a to see who else is playing over there

I'm not belittling the service by any means, perhaps it's just a generational thing... I like the risk. 

[hfuhruhurr]

It's driven me bananas to know that one of my favourite bands was playing and I missed it. (especially when I had no clash and was idling away doing nowt).

So I'm obsessed with knowing!

I used Zapier last time round and it worked perfectly. Didn't head to any of the sets myself (in fact I walked away from John Peel) but was able to pass on info to a few friends who went.

To those saying it ruins the surprise: yes, but I'd rather know it was happening than find out I missed it. 

All in all I'll be subscribing again if it's running

Has Zapier sms support been dropped from the secret Glasto Twitter?

No, I think some people on the Twitter replies have mentioned they've had them come through.

[wilko8]

I set up a Twitter account & zapier the first year that secret glasto was a thing.
 

I’ve never used twitter and have long since lost the log in details to my account and to zapier, but the sms have always come through regardless. Just looked at the Twitter feed and there were a couple of posts on 26 May that I didn’t get an sms for. 
 

Do you know if the people running it plan to do sms this year? 

[wilko8]

Not sure I can get Twitter on my festival Nokia 🤔

Your Twitter account could have expired if not logged into for however long, or likewise your Zapier account.

Try to log in to Zapier, check that the Zap still exists and is turned on, and look at the run history - it'll tell you for example if it failed to authenticate with Twitter.
