AmiiboGAF Pushbullet Service (now in BETA)
__
Welcome to the AmiiboGAF Pushbullet Tracking Service post. In this post we will begin to introduce Pushbullet, how to use it and the technical limits.
What is Pushbullet?
Pushbullet is an application that uses Android Notification/iOS Push Notifications to push stuff to your phone. Basically it's computer -> notification on your iPhone.
How to use Pushbullet?
First of all, head over to
http://www.pushbullet.com and Sign up using Gmail or Facebook. Complete the prompts and download the app on your iOS device/Android. Login with the same Gmail/Facebook account to pair your device. You should be ready to go!
How to use AmiiboGAF's Tracking Service?
Head on over to
https://www.pushbullet.com/channel?tag=amiibogaf and subscribe. Then you should start receiving notifications.
Technical Limitations
Right now, Pushbullet only accepts RSS Feeds for automated goodness. So I created an AmiiboGAF wordpress (amiibogaf.wordpress.com) and used that RSS feed for Pushbullet.
Best Buy amiibos are automated for now (as of IFTTT). We plan to make other stores automated as well, but that doesn't seem possible right now. What we can do however is get collaborators to post when an Amiibo is up.
Collaborators
We're in look for Collaborators right now. Since I'm currently in the ADST time zone. I will need people from the
- PST time zone (California, I'm pretty sure)
- EST time zone (New York)
and
- GMT time zone (England)
Please, we urgently need collaborators to make this work. If you want to be one, contact me.
I hope this Pushbullet service works out. Have fun receiving your amiibos.
