Growth hack: iMessage as intelligence alert

Sometimes you need to immediately inform every team developer about a serious problem on server, so we came up with this simple script that sends our iMessage the moment something happens on server (e.g. fraction of payment errors increases significantly). This helps us act promptly and research (and fix if needed) the problem as soon as possible. And, yeah, no need to spend money on SMS ☺

Download it

You can use it for various important events, such as:

1. Fraction of payment errors increases significantly
2. Number of canceled orders increases in a particular store
3. Server has finished some lengthy operation (e.g. backup)

It works on Mac only, you can run it via commandline (osascript sendMessage.applescript) or in Script Editor.

P.S. Don’t forget to change array of names and phone numbers + text at the beginning of the script
