Email Notification Alerts are working again *Updated - 31st January 2019*

Jan 31, 2019

Share on Reddit


Update: 31st January 2019 The emails alerts are now up and running again. If you don't get any new emails from new articles please either email Support or let us know in the comments below.



Update: 24th January 2019 The email alerts are currently not working. The company who provide the service, Followistic, are aware of the issue and are investigating. We'll let you know when it's back up and running.



Update: 28th February 2018 We're pleased to announce that our email alert system is now back up and running. We're sorry for the inconvenience whilst it was down.

All your existing subscriptions should continue to work and you can add/update any new shows/authors etc



Update: 1st December 2017

We've unfortunately had to remove the email system for the time being. We hope to re-instate them again early in 2018.



Update: 2nd March 2016

Hey All,

Just a couple of small updates to our Email Alerts Systems.

1) The System will now alert you when any existing post is significantly updated. In the past you would not have received an email.

2) You can now from your dashboard easily Add New Show Alerts. You will see a Search Box on the right hand side. Start typing the name of the show you want to get alerts on and the system will present you with a list of choices. Click on the Show you want to add.


Remember you can change the Schedule of any of your alerts as well as remove any that you no longer wish to follow.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the comments below.



Original Article

Hey All,

We've got a nifty little feature that we're releasing today in Beta. Despite people saying that email is dead, more and more people ask me if there was an easy way to be notified by email whenever a new article is made on a particular show or author.

Today this is now possible.

At the bottom of each article you will see something like the following.



You select the show(s) that you want to follow and you can also select the author if you want and enter your email address and press/click "Get Free Alerts". You will then see a confirmation message like below.



NOTE: You only need to activate your email once. Once activated you can in future simply add the show(s) you want.

You should then receive an activation email that looks like this. Click on the Activation link and your all set.



The Activation link if successful will take you to your own notification dashboard here

http://my.followistic.com/dashboard/spoilertv.com

From here you can updated/modify your notifications.



You also change when you receive the notification. eg you might just want a Daily or Weekly Digest. Just tick the Tag/Show/Label that you want to modify and then click the Schedule button.



Now, whenever there is a new article that matches your selections, within an hr you will receive an email notification letting you know of new content on the site for the show(s) and/or authors that matches your selections.

This is obviously a new feature and there will be some little bugs etc. If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments below.

We hope you email junkies enjoy this feature.

  4. The only issue now is that I have subscriptions to 24 labels (one of which is myself - that's a great feature btw) so in about 3 normal weekdays (say by Tuesday) I'll probably have about 1000 unread emails in my inbox - I currently have 99 lol

  6. This is really cool, however for some reason when i Open the links it says it is unable to access the webpage

  7. Hi @Revenge and OUAT:disqus Which link are you referring to?

    Did you activate your email already?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I've just added some extra info to the article.

    On a per label/show basic you can change the frequency. From Immediate to Hourly, Daily or Weekly and set the day/time the email comes

  9. I wasn't seeing this using the Dark Theme, but as soon as I changed it I saw it.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yep, it's not currently available on the dark theme. That will be added shortly.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Yep, I saw that on the dashboard. Think I might go with myself as weekly and then every other label as immediate. That might reduce the emails I get. (sighs in realisation that I may have to clean out my inbox more frequently)

    ReplyDelete
  12. It should now be available on the Dark Theme the next time you load a page.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yep. I see it now with the dark theme. :)

  14. This is a great idea. Thanks!

  15. Andy,when i tried to activate it came up that it 'could not authenticate user' would you know why?

    ReplyDelete
  16. When exactly did you get the errror? When you pressed the send button or when you clicked on the activate link in the email?

    ReplyDelete
  17. It happened as soon as i clicked on the activation link.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks, I'll email the developers.

    Have you tried to repeat the whole process to see if it was just a temporary glitch?

    Can you email me when you have so I can get some of your private details so we can debug.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Excellent ! thank you : )

  20. This is great, thanks.

  21. I must be doing something wrong, went to Supernatural and do not see the place to click to follow it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks @Cath Hope you find it useful

  23. Hi @rehabber When you say "went to Supernatural" what exactly do you mean? I'm not sure I understand

    ReplyDelete
  24. I went to CW, clicked on Supernatural, hoping for emails on anything SPN. Guessing this is not the way it works. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ha yes you're right. That's not how it works.

    The widget appears only on posts/articles. So if you load up any article/post that has the Supernatural label/tag on it, then scroll down you will see the widget and can then Subscribe to the label/show etc.

    Let me know how you get on @rehabber

  26. Worked like a charm...now I don't have to worry about missing the Scene of the Week or Quote of the Week posts ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Awesome, thanks for the feedback @Emma
