Get Instant Facebook Notifications on Growl!
- Start using notify.io
- I'm pretty sure you have a Google account, take just your username (all the stuff before the @ symbol) and add that to "facebooksays.appspotmail.com". So, if your Gmail email address is "abimanyuraja@gmail.com", you should have "abimanyuraja@facebooksays.appspotmail.com".
- Now, add this email to your Facebook account under Account Settings. Fill up the form as show below.
- Login into notify.io with the same Google Account that you used to login here. Download and install the client if you haven't already.
- Approve the application on the Pending Approvals sidebar (this might not be required for some people).
- You should have received a notification that will have a URL to confirm this email. You can find it either in the History tab on notify.io or you should have received a growl notification.
- Once your Facebook email is confirmed, that's it!
- You'll start getting instant notify.io/Growl notifications.
- Make a feature request to Facebook asking them to support notify.io natively. Or if you know someone at Facebook, buy them lunch. :)
