I am sure many members know about this but many have probably not heard about it or tested it.
Piggy made this bot for bitcointalk users and the original thread can found here >
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5023605.0The purpose of the bot is to send you a notification every time someone quotes your post or mentions you on the forum. I tried it out and it is very useful especially if you post a lot of content. As the amount of posts increase it becomes hard to keep track of all the comments, questions... and this is were the bot becomes handy.
How to activate the bot?The first thing you should do is open a thread in the
Archival section. This is the thread where you will receive the notifications.
The thread needs to be opened with the account that you want to receive notifications for and it needs to be your thread, you cant use someone else's thread.
After opening the thread send a PM to
Maggiordomo. In the subject write
subscribe and in the PM just copy/paste your newly created thread from the Archival section.
After you send the PM you will receive some general information about the bot in your thread in Archival. The bot is now active!
Every time another user mentions you in the forums you will receive a notification in your thread about it.
In order to receive a notification another user needs to write your username in a post.
For example
bernardos in my case. Whenever someone writes
@bernardos or just
bernardos I will receive a notification that someone mentioned me in a post and a link to that post.
This also works in combination with
bernardos! and
bernardos? as well as when someone quotes one of your posts.
The bot is very fast and when I tested it the notifications were sent within 3-5 seconds after the posts.
The bot can also be configured to send notifications over Telegram. BUT you can only use one of these two notification options. If both options are activated you will only receive the notifications over telegram.
To activate the telegram bot you need to contact
@Maggiordomo_Service_bot over telegram and write something to the bot.
Just like in the previous example, send a PM to
Maggiordomo. In the subject write
options and in the PM:
telegram:yourTelegramUsername
(without @ for the telegram id)
Now you will receive all notifications from the bot over telegram.
If you want to stop receiving notifications send a PM to the same user on telegram like in the previous examples with the subject
unsubscribe and in the PM write anything you want to be able to send the PM.
