Posting on twitter

[AlexCam]

Is there any way to update ones twitter status from within filemaker?

You need to send a POST method request to Twitter.

Options:

360Works Scriptmaster Plugin - in theory you can do it...since it allows POST requests from one of the functions. Or you can write your own Groovy code to do it.

Troi also has a plugin that does POST requests.

I'm sure there are others, but these are ones I readily think of.

Thanks I will have a look at it, I hoped for a simpler way though :)

Not sure if we're talking about the same things and since it's 18 months later, maybe things have changed.

I know we can send emails and texts from within FM. Can we tweet as well? I was thinking of giving clients the choice of how the want to receive a confirmation. The easy ones are email or text. But then I thought about the possibility of a tweet.

Anything?

Thanks
