Toolbox and Facebook?

Post by MickinMoulden »

G'day Daj, I did post elsewhere but here might be better. I would love to be able to update Facebook with weather alarms, however Facebook will only update a status via email if the email has something in the subject box which Toolbox does but it is only what is in the Toolbox/setup/Notification emails/subject (thus each Facebook update would read excactly the same no matter what alarm went off). It would be good if each alarm could have it's own subject in the email. What's the possibility of adding a photo to the email? I can picture a rain icon in a Facebook update when a rain alarm is set off (with the subject being....it's just rained 1,000,000mm, that's a record for today! :lol: )

Always better to start a new post for a new topic, rather than tag it on the end of another! I've split it off into it's own post. ;)

The next release will allow you to have a customized subject line. I hope to get this new update out shortly after the latest Beta of Cumulus goes live

I'm afraid there's a bit of a delay :oops:

I decided to chuck another fairly major facility in there and it's taking some time. So there will be another beta build at some point followed by what I imagine will be quite a lengthy bug-fixing period :lol:

It's not what you would call "exciting". More "useful" and "oft requested" ;)

OK David. New Cumulus is out. Would you be able to look into this request. Another way to look at it, is when an alarm goes off can you have it email a premade email? eg, send an .eml or if you can have each rule have it's own subject with the ability to add a picture as an attachment.
This would be great.
Cheers.
