TweetFunnel Enhancements for November, 2009
We are pleased to announce a new set of features for TweetFunnel — released on Sunday, November 15th. We appreciate any and all feedback from Funnelers!
The Ability to Schedule Tweets for a Specific Time of Day
The existing scheduler functionality in TweetFunnel allows tweets to be queued and then later published to Twitter at intervals during pre-defined time windows. Now, it is also possible to schedule a tweet for a specific time of day. The time zone for each user is defined in their User Profile – be sure to set this!
Brand Monitoring and Alerts
Users will are now able to monitor brands based on defined search criteria. Users can set up email alerts to users when specific brand or other mentions occur. These alerts can be sent at defined intervals via email or via SMS. For example, a user can receive an email every hour that contains all the mentions of your company’s brand. An SMS limit can be set for each user under the user’s profile.
Tweet Contribution via Email
Contributors and publishers can now submit tweets via email. For example, a TweetFunnel contributor can submit a tweet from a field event via an iPhone or BlackBerry. That tweet can be reviewed by a TweetFunnel publisher before it is published to a Twitter account. The email address for each Twitter account can be found under “3rd Party Integration” for the account. It’s important for users to disable auto-signatures in their mobile email clients if they are going to be tweeting from their mobile devices so that signatures do not become a part of tweets.
Tweet Contribution via SMS
Contributors and publishers can also submit tweets via SMS. SMS activation must be requested (under 3rd Party Integration) and we will provide an initial sample block of 25 SMS tweets. Additional blocks of SMS messages can be purchased.
Cotag Activation Per Twitter Account
The use of cotags can now be activated/deactivated per Twitter account. Now, you can have cotags set to On for a business account and Off for a personal account. Previously, cotag activation/deactivation was a global setting.
Support for Multiple Administrators
Previously, there was only one administrator per TweetFunnel account. More than one administrator can now be defined.
On Duty Flag
Now, users can flag themselves as on duty, so an editor knows that a specific user is available to receive an assigned tweet. On Duty can also be used as a condition for whether Alerts should be sent.
Improved Tweet Refreshing
You will now always see the most recent tweets as you switch from tab to tab without having to click the More button in order to refresh tweets.
Removal of Reliance on Twitter Performance and Uptime
If Twitter is performing slowly or is down, TweetFunnel’s internal functionality will not be affected.
