Short version: we had a conversion funnel for one of our purchase funnel which was wrong because of bad data. The mistake was a developer error.

You can export your subscribers to MailChimp or download a CSV file. We have a special email address where you can send your newsletter and we make it look good and deliver on Messenger.

So your subscribers a are yours and exportable

Subscription-based bots is one of their use cases. Of course, everyone has to opt-in first.

Revoice is free.

We've talked with people on Facebook and they encourage us to move forward with this and a subscription-based bot is part of their current use-cases. Of course, this can change in the future.

We do meet the FB terms of service as we're using their native button to subscribe and also everyone has to opt-in first.

Good point on the dependency on FB, it's actually a good and a bad thing. The good point is that your subscribers don't have to install new apps and they already have FB Messenger on their phone and probably are logged in inside chrome so the subscription is one-click and friction here is minimal.

Another point is that we do not rely on Facebook only as we also support Slack, Telegram Chrome, FF, Safari and others as a subscription platform so the user can choose which one suits best.

Founder here,

Revoice converts your website visitors into Facebook Messenger subscribers. If you have a Newsletter, Blog or Youtube channel, Revoice will use that content, make it look good on messaging apps (FB Messenger, Slack, Telegram, Chrome) and deliver new issues, posts or videos to your subscribers. You can then save your subscribers on any CRM or export as a CSV file.

After install in 2 minutes you get:

* Use your current newsletter from Mailchimp, GetRevue or any other newsletter service. We will make it look good on messaging apps and deliver to your subcribers.

* Export your subscribers to Mailchimp, Sendgrid, Salesforce, Zapier etc...

* Export your subscribers as a CSV file.

* We're Hubspot Certified Partner, so Revoice integrates great with Hubspot.

* Integrate with Wordpress, Unbounce with a plugin or just paste a JS code on your page.

Would love to answer any questions, looking for Feedback, Feedback and more Feedback! Thanks!

Cool, how long have you been using Hooks for? Actually this happens a lot, our fault for sure, we need to remove some alerts like "TC all content" :)

This is just the start. Also some notifications are time sensitive and you always carry your phone with you so you won't miss it.

We are also working on notifications API for Chrome as the next step for the web interface.

Good question, I love both of this tools, while IFTTT is more about automation, on Hooks we are focusing on notifications only. Our value is the content, it's very easy to create alerts about many things with just one click.

Actually we are working on adding Hooks as an IFTTT channel later this month as a trigger so anyone can build their own receipts.

Hi, we are working on adding this to our API as webhooks, so you can use the content on your app. For now you can check this: https://dev.gethooksapp.com

It's different. On Facebook Notify you subscribe to a channel and then they decide what you get, very similar to rss feed. On Hooks you customize what you want to get exactly and where you want to get it from, like post with 200 points on HN so you get only the content you asked for.

Good point, but on average our users get about 1-2 per day as you choose exactly what you want to receive.

Hooks is doing the same for 1 year now and already has 300K+ happy users, more topics and sending almost 2M notifications a day to happy users.

Actually we are very happy here at Hooks to welcome Facebook in the real-time notification era. Now it's going to get much more attention so it's good for us.

What do you think?

Sure, https://vimeo.com/140590713

Yeah, I've posted just after I received a notification from Hooks :) Got lucky

Me too!

The same moment when I was going to buy the new iphone 6s

IFTTT focusing only on notifications, with much more content

For example, use Hooks api to

* create sports app using our real time data for games results and matches NFL, NBA, MLB, Soccer etc.

* monitor you brand mentions on Twitter and send notifications to Slack

* send notifications to your team in Slack when your app has a new review on the app store

A lot more, we hope to discover more use cases we have not though of when people start to build things...

That's cool, thanks for sharing!

Would love to answer any questions about the process...

Sure, when I say growth hack I mean that inviting new users adds value to current users always, but "the perfect middle ground" keeps been middle, I mean, let's be honest, I change the product to make it grow, not because current users are unhappy...maybe most of the product do it...

Nothing blackhat, the product is free (at the moment) so I can't invest in SEM, I have a live chat in the product where users can send feedback, and all of them like the product, others are asking for features that I can add but it takes time with a small team.

So the question is relax and improve the product or worry about the "virality"

Thanks for the advise!

Do you know any nice API for that?

What kind of notifications do you think are most useful? Like location bases alerts, maybe ifttt-like alerts, sports...?

Thanks, it's true, very useful when your phone is in your pocket and you can't get to it easily

I want to monitor my Alexa rank
