Feature Request: Twitter, instant messaging for notifications

RouterOS General
1

In ROS, we now have email and SMS support for the router to send us notifications.

Is it possible to add any of this?

  1. Twitter DM (We can already do email to twitter with IFTTT)
  2. Whatsapp, Skype (probably not)
  3. Any IM support: Facebook Messenger, Line, WeChat, Google Talk, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, etc…

Even better if it’s interactive.

Sorry if this is a crazy idea. This is coming from someone who has a lot of fun with Mikrotik routers :smiley:

I just think it’s cool if the router can tweet its status every now and then. :slight_smile:

Replying to an old post, but there is actually a better way already. You can use the IFTTT Maker channel. This will give you an URL to use in RouterOS fetch tool.

Then make a new recipe, with some kind of action. The “If” part would be the Maker trigger.

Then in RouterOS you can use Scheduler or Netwatch to do this:

/tool fetch url=https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/NAME/with/key/IFTTKEY keep-result=no

replace NAME an IFTTKEY respectively. Run this Fetch and it will trigger any action that IFTTT supports.

Possibilities are endless. Tweet when some website goes down, or when traffic is too much. Turn your Hue lights red when can’t ping something. etc
