[RELEASED] @mention notification bot - now with Telegram

[bernardos]

The script has nothing to do with the forum. It applies to any webpage really.

You can also try using third party checking software like this: https://visualping.io/

Thank you asche, I will try with https://visualping.io and see if it detects changes in the profiles on some of the users I want to follow.
In the address bar I will put the link to their Show the last topics started by this person. I guess that is the right way to do it.

I wanted to ask you something. Would it be possible to add a feature to your bot so that it sends a notification every time a user I choose created a new thread?
I want to follow a few users from this forum and be informed every time they create new threads. Just new threads, not every post they make. Do you think that is possible to do?

I just don't have time to implement something like that, i can barely keep up with what there is now between work and everything else. 
And as you pointed out above, you know exactly where to look to find which threads were started from some user unlike in the case of a mention.

[Piggy]

I edited the first post to reflect the recent changes and wrote a better (hopefully) short version which should guide new users with the essentials information on how to get started.

First of all i need to thank you for this bot. It helps me a lot. You did a great job with inventing and implementing it.


Today i get this bugged massage that i would like to report to You.

i see, just to clarify, the problem is with the formatting of the message, all the link in those quote will bring you to the right post where you have been mentioned, right?

All links works great. Its just formatting.

Hi @Piggy, I really appreciated your notification bot, thank you so much.

I have something noticed about your bot (Maggiordomo) account, if you look at the signature of the bot account, I think the word "Managed" misspelt to "Manged".
Thanks.

Thank you for the great work. Your bot is a great idea that makes life easier on the forum.

I'd like to ask you something. Could you make that the bot does not send messages from users that I ignore.

I also thought about something like that. However I think implementing it won't be that easy if it has to be automatic, since your ignore list is private afaik.
The only way would be to tell the bot who you want to ignore.

[LoyceV]

An ignore list for the bot could be as simple as one thread in which each user can create and update one post with an ignore list (with userIDs). Maggiordome can check that thread every couple of hours for updates.

The perfect solution offered LoyceV:

An ignore list for the bot could be as simple as one thread in which each user can create and update one post with an ignore list (with userIDs). Maggiordome can check that thread every couple of hours for updates.

I hope the respected Piggy ever find the time to implement it.

It would be great if we were also able to block receiving notifications from specific threads or sections. Being constantly mentioned in merit related threads disturbs me. Blacklisting them manually just like LoyceV described would be convenient. Thanks for your work!

[crwth]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but on the same thread, I was mentioned almost at the same time (~3 minutes interval), and this happened.



As you could see, there is one message for the two mentions on the same thread and another message from the same message on that same thread just the second one. I don't know how it happened, but it did. Maybe this could be a useful thing to you @Piggy

[LoyceV]

Occasionally, Maggiordome still shows the same post twice:

LoyceV, you have been mentioned and quoted in the following messages:

 

• Other - Meta - Re: Ignore user option not loading.
  

  Hello LoyceV, I don't know - I can't access it.....lol  I have added about 50 at a rough guess, but

• Other - Meta - Re: Ignore user option not loading.

I get a lot of mentions about some hockey player that people are talking about, so I would prefer a way to ignore certain threads.

[WhyFhy]

A keyword map is still highly desired, Like pm the bot our keyword settings. A IFTTT check?.

Have you tried enabling the "@"-only feature of the bot?

Plainusername,  activates/deactivates notification while your username is being mentioned (without using the @)

I want the plain username feature to be enabled though, since most people just use `Mitchell` and not `@Mitchell`. Being able to ignore a thread/section would fully resolve my issues.

[Tytanowy Janusz]

I think that interesting and not that hard to implement (while having this bot already working) feature would be to enable users to add list of hot worlds that will trigger notification. For example altcoin investor could add his hodl token name f.e. "VITE" and every times someone will post anything about his token he will always knew about that. No matter if its new scam accusation tread or new partnership.

This could be used also for "scam/abuse" for scam hunters and DT members.

I was thinking about doing it by myself but its far beyond my skills so I decided to drop it here. Maybe Piggy will use this idea

Thanks a lot to Piggy for this lovely tool and Asche for pushing it accross my path (and translating it into a German thread where I finally understood it, well more or less).

I now receive the PMs as desired, just wondering how to get those notifications into the thread created for that specific use.
