swarm-list Mailing List: Re: app for instant swarm notifications

[Pamela Weimer (pamela.weimer]

Robert, I do not believe that I input things correctly when I set up Pushover for swarm calls.  Is there a time when I can talk with you about what I did?  

Thanks!

Pam

Thank you for this! If I don’t click on these emails every time my stupid phone starts sending them to promotions folder. Could you please tell me the name of the app? I can’t see it in this thread 

The app is called "Pushover", but there's a little more to it than that -- anyone using it should be sure to read the entire "Getting instant notifications on your phone" section of this page:

 https://www.alamedabees.org/swarm-list-tips/

That said, the issue you're describing (where Gmail puts messages in the Promotions or Spam folder) is in some ways a different problem. If you just want to stop that from happening, the same page has a different section called "Filtering swarm list messages in Gmail" that will help with that, no app necessary.

(I know that page is annoyingly dense with words and explanations, but it does hold the solution to most problems people report with getting swarm list notifications!)
