That sounds right, it was a tweet from the end of May. Not sure why Zapier would pick that one rather than the more recent test one, but it sounds like you're on the right track!

One thing to note is that services like Zapier will only check for new tweets every 15 minutes or so, so you won't get alerts instantly. The Twitter app push notifications will be quicker (assuming a good network connection) so it's worth having both. SMS for if the data connection is struggling, and push notifications for speed (if the connection is good).

Ah, I have indeed got today's Testing message too. I just didn't realise that was from secretGlasto, I thought it was a generic Zapier test.

I got twitter but not SMS. Need to re set up zapper me thinks. 

 

Could we we have another test towards the end of the week? 

We can probably afford to do more test tweets this time, Zapier has a monthly quota of 100 and given that we only sent about 25-30 tweets in the 2019 festival, we're not in danger of busting the limits.  One towards the end this week is fine.

what advantages does the text alert have over a twitter push notification?

Still works if you take an old-skool Nokia burner phone .

(if you don't want to risk taking a smartphone)

Yep, also if you are on max battery saving on a smartphone most apps (inc Twitter) won't work, but sms will still come through

Maybe …. Considering most will likely tell a few people it’s still quite significant numbers 🙂 

I suppose it depends on how many of the 35k are at this years festival. Some might have followed years ago or just out of interest
