[Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

Hey everyone! We're happy to announce Megaphone is back for 2014!


Megaphone keeps you up to date with your favorite FRC teams. You can sign up to get automated text messages when teams win/lose their matches, two matches before teams are about to play, when teams gets picked to be on an alliance, or when teams win an award. Additionally, you can automate your team's Twitter/Facebook account to post status updates for any of those actions, to keep your fans and followers up to date.

We're launching the website now, but we'll be fixing up some of the rough edges over this coming week (for instance, you can't change your phone number right now - that'll be working soon). Other long term features will be coming, like mobile friendliness, password resets, etc.

To follow updates about Megaphone over the season (downtime, website changes, added features, etc) you can follow FRCMega on Twitter. If you find any issues, your carrier isn't supported, or you want to give me feedback, feel free to message me on Chief, tweet me at FRCZach, or send me an email at admin[at]frcmega[dot]com

Additionally, I'm launching something new this year. Cheers! Cheers are a way for teams/companies/individuals in the robotics community to spread their messages. If you sign up for Megaphone, you'll be receiving Cheers. You can read more about Cheers here

Thanks everyone! Enjoy Megaphone.

As a note: Since the website is completely custom this year, Internet Explorer won't be supported. You're welcome to try though!

Was an amazing resource last year, and will surely be this year too.

It won't me register :(

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

Can you give me some more information? If something goes wrong during registration the input boxes should turn red. Private message me the email you're trying to use.

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

It finally worked. It was not registering that I was even clicking the button! But now, the same thing is happening on the templates page for the posts. I can't click "save".

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

Hm. Are you sure? There's no feedback on that button yet. Refresh the page. If the form is filled in, you're good. If not, it's not saving properly and I'll look in to it.

my modifications were not saved.

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

Private message me the email you used to sign up. I'll check it out.

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

Yeah same thing is happening for me when I try to change the tweets

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

Facebook may not be up for this weekend. I forgot to submit my Facebook app for approval. Oops.

Private message me your email address and I'll check it out

Edit: Facebook auth is good to go

Edit edit: Aah. Template changes aren't working properly. That'll be fixed shortly.

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

Got it all set up tonight. Thanks for this. Hope you dont have too much fun troubleshooting this weekend.

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

Everything social-related should work now. If you connected your Facebook or Twitter, you'll need to reconnect. I've sent everyone an email about it. Sorry about that.

Re: [Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)
 

It's all good! The new website and options look awesome! Now I can add a ton of archer references (our robots name is Babou) into the tweets that are sent out! Thanks so much!
