Warframe Alerts By Sms

[4oby]

So I just made that happend))

I probably shouldn't make this post since 

https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/12520-guide-on-non-smartphone-notifications/

already exists, BUT I made some changes to it.

 

What have I changed?

well not much

1. I change the email source from digitalextremes.com to zapier->tweeter (mainly because I couldn't find how to subscribe to it...)

2. added deletion for notify emails istead of just removing the label (as it was initially)(hate when my inbox is full)

3. another fix (see P.S.)

 

 

 

What you need:

1. Gmail account

2. Twitter account

3. Mobile phone that suports SMS (allmost everyone since the 1998)

 

What you want to do:

1. get on twitter an folow

     a) @WarframeAlerts if you want all the alerts

     b) @Warframe_BOT if you want the alerts with something more then just the credits

2. Sign up for "zapier" and make a new "Zap" (big orange button top right)

3. The zap settings

    step 1

        Trigger app -> Twitter

        Trigger        -> User Tweets

        Action app   -> Gmail

        Action          -> Send Email

        press continue

   

   step 2

        Select and confirm your tweet account

        press continue

 

   step 3

        Select and confirm your gmail account

        press continue

 

   step 4

        write in the box the tweet acc you want to follow (see point 1 for reference)

        press continue

 

   step 5

        Box "To"            -> your_gmail

        Box "Subject" -> press "Insert Field"->select "Retweeted status text"

        Box "Pplain Body" -> warframe_alert

        leave the other boxes empty, press continue

 

   step 6

        you may test it but no actul use to it now, just continue

 

   step 7

        Give it a name (mine is "Get_Warframe_Alerts_To_Email")

       press "Turn Zap ON"

 

4. Go to gmail. Create a new label preferably named SMS. Then go to settings (gear button and then settings) -> filters -> create new filter

In the field form paste "your_gmail" (without " "), to "your_gmail" (without " "), has text "warframe_alert" (without " "), go to next page and set "label - SMS" and create the filter.

 

5. Go to google calendar, settings and cellphone configuration, just connect your google account with your phone number etc.

 

6. go to calendar settings -> calendars -> click "remindings and notifications" in a row in which is your calendar listed, then in new page set default notification by SMS (text msg), 0 minutes before.

 

7. go to google drive. 

Now: Create-> Script, then choose Blank project and paste this:

function Notification() {

 

  var threads = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName('SMS').getThreads();

  var now = new Date();

  if(threads == 0) return; //Stop the Script if no email found

  

  for(i in threads) // for every email found

  {

    var str = threads.getFirstMessageSubject(); // get email title

    var n = str.length;                                             // get email title lenght

    var i=n-57;                                                        // get 57 chars, cose is max allowed in google SMS notify

    var result="";                                                     // init result

    for(i; i<n; i++){ result+=str;}                             // shortenning email title to last 57 chars, where email title is tweet's text

    

  CalendarApp.createEvent(result, new Date(now.getTime()+60000), new Date(now.getTime()+60000)).setDescription('this-is-sms_notification-mark'); //make new event and mark it

    

  }

  

 

    // why delete label when you can delete the message))

    //GmailApp.getUserLabelByName('SMS').removeFromThreads(threads) //del SMS label to stop repetitive SMS

  

  

  var search = "label:SMS";                                                           //simpele gmail search text

  try{

   var old = GmailApp.search(search, 0, 100);                              //

   for (var i=0; i<old.length; i++) {                                                  //

      var messages = GmailApp.getMessagesForThread(old);   //get the messages

      for (var j=0; j<messages.length; j++) {                                    //for every message

        var email = messages[j];                                                       //get specific message

          email.markRead();                                                              //mark as read to not cause eye bleeding when you look in  the trash

          email.moveToTrash();                                                        //delete it

      }

   }

    }catch(e){}

    

  

  Utilities.sleep(100000); // wait to take efect

  

  var TodaysEvents = CalendarApp.getDefaultCalendar().getEventsForDay(now); //get list of todays events

  

  for (i in TodaysEvents)                                                                                           // for every event on today

  {

  if(TodaysEvents.getDescription()=='this-is-sms_notification-mark')                    //if mark found

    TodaysEvents.deleteEvent();                                                                            //delete event

  }

  

}

 

Now - save it, I named it "notify", and go to resources on top of the page where your script is (don't go anywhere else yet), choose "current project's triggers and set a trigger (for me it's enough to have a "notification, time-driven, minutes, every 1 minutes" but you can choose a 5 min or every min, your will. Now save it. Authorize in pop-up window. And click the play button above the script (triangle). Done.

 

obviously I haven't done this myself

Hope this helps somebody. have any questions? would be  glad to help.

 

P.S.

one more thing due to the speciffic way gmail callendar notifiations works, you can't fit in the SMS all the tweet's text, only 57chars, so I used a little trick, and you get in the SMS the LAST 57 chars instead of the firs. this allows you to se the time, the credits, and the blueprint/stuff you get. example of sms:

 

>>

Reminder: Stockpile - 57m - 4100cr - Oryx Oberon Helmet (Blueprint) 

>>flowed by, current day, date, and my email

 

the full tweet was:

>>

Oro (Earth): Destroy Munitions Stockpile - 57m - 4100cr - Oryx Oberon Helmet (Blueprint)

>>

 

If I hadn't made the change, the sms would have been:

>>

Reminder: Oro (Earth): Destroy Munitions Stockpile - 57m - 4100cr -

>>flowed by, current day, date, and my email
