Twitter 已经不仅仅是一个社交新闻网站，现在每天有超过 5 亿条推文。人们用它来获取他们每天的新闻、天气、政治和各种一般的玩笑。
尽管Twitter(Twitter)的相当一部分用户只是闲聊和发布想到的事情，但有很多原因可能会导致您对特定用户的推文产生浓厚的兴趣。对我来说，这是我关注的一款游戏的官方Twitter 帐户(Twitter account)开始定期发布免费Steam 密钥(Steam keys)的时候。这是我要注意的事情！
无论是了解新闻、抢在别人之前获得免费赠品，还是对你的另一半给予一点“额外关注”，Twitter通知之所以有用的原因有很多。
在本文中，我们将讨论如何在Web 和移动设备上为个人(web and mobile)Twitter帐户启用通知。
如何在网络上获取 Twitter 通知(How To Get Twitter Notifications On The Web)
自推出以来，Twitter 的集成网络通知就有点反常了。在多个版本的Chrome 和 Firefox(Chrome and Firefox)中，用户被告知他们的浏览器不支持该功能。这是一个大问题。
但是，有一项值得信赖的服务可以帮助解决此类问题：IFTTT。我们过去已经讨论过如何使用 IFTTT(how to use IFTTT)，所以如果您不熟悉该服务，请阅读。
要为推文创建通知，让我们首先使用Tweet from search触发器创建一个新的IFTTT 小程序。(IFTTT applet)您可以通过单击此处(here)跳过所有菜单导航(menu navigation)并直接进入该页面。
要获取Twitter通知，让我们首先使用Twitter创建一个新的IFTTT 小程序(IFTTT applet)。这样做时，有两个触发操作最适合我们要完成的任务——特定用户的(New tweet by a specific user)新推文和来自搜索(New tweet from search)的新推文。
查找来自特定用户的推文是不言自明的——每次单个用户发送推文时触发器都会触发。出于简单的目的，这非常有用。但是，从搜索中查找推文要稳健得多。
首先，从搜索中查找推文仅限于每次检查 15 个结果。IFTTT轮询更新的频率是一个神秘的变量。尽管它在您的小程序设置中说明了它应该多久检查一次，但它可以在任何地方，在几秒钟到 15 分钟内。
创建搜索查询(search query)时请记住这一点。使用OR和AND运算符，您可以将多个搜索组合为一个。但是，如果您想安全地保持在每次检查(check limitation)15 个结果的限制下，您可能不想做这样的事情。
也就是说，我们已经在另一篇文章中介绍了如何在Twitter 上(Twitter)进行高级搜索，您可以使用这些技巧在此页面上构建完美的搜索查询。(search query)
如前所述，您可以使用搜索查询(search query)来组合多个用户的基本搜索，如下所示：
from:onlinetechtips OR from:c89
您还可以更严格地过滤推文，直到出现某些关键字，如下所示：
from:toejamandearl “xbox code”
一旦您决定使用哪个搜索查询(search query)，请保存您的触发器。现在是您需要确定如何接收Twitter 通知(Twitter notification)的时候了。
以下是一些示例“那个”服务，可以在触发触发器时通知您：
- Android SMS：连接到您的Android 手机(Android phone)，让您向任何号码发送SMS（可与Google Voice 号码和 Google Voice 通知扩展(Google Voice number and Google Voice notification extension)一起使用）。
- Facebook Messenger：发送 Facebook 消息。
- Gmail：给自己发一封电子邮件。
- 通知：(Notifications:)向您的 IFTTT 连接设备发送通知。
- 电话：(Phone call:)拨打您的号码（仅限美国）以留下语音信箱。
- Slack：发布到频道。
此外，IFTTT支持Pushbullet 和 Pushover(Pushbullet and Pushover)等服务，它们可以作为在设备之间聚合所有Twitter通知的方式。这可以帮助您在桌面、Chromebook和其他非移动小工具上接收通知。
虽然IFTTT不是完美的解决方案，但由于检查稍有延迟，它的灵活性有助于弥补这一点。您可以通过许多有趣的方式接收推文通知。
如何在移动设备上获取 Twitter 通知(How To Get Twitter Notifications On Mobile)
由于IFTTT确实提供了一个移动应用程序，其中包括发送短信(SMS)或推送通知(push notification)等触发操作，因此对于智能手机用户来说也是一个合理的解决方案。如果您想从基于搜索的推文中接收移动通知，这是您唯一的选择。
但是，与网络通知不同的是，Twitter 的移动通知功能功能齐全。如果您想为特定用户启用推文通知，您所要做的就是导航到他们的个人资料并单击几下。
- 如果您使用的是智能手机，您可以导航到用户的个人资料，然后单击“关注(Follow)/关注(Following)”按钮左侧的铃铛图标(bell icon)。
- 如果您使用的是浏览器，请在用户的个人资料上找到相同的“(Following)关注” /(Follow) “关注”按钮。
- 单击烤肉菜单（三个垂直点）图标。(kabob menu (three vertical dots) icon.)
- 选择打开移动通知(Turn on mobile notifications)。
如果您决定关闭移动通知，则可以针对任一平台遵循相同的说明。
既然您知道如何在台式机、笔记本电脑、智能手机和任何其他设备上接收Twitter通知，就没有理由错过您等待了数周的推文。
How To Get Twitter Notifications On Web & Mobile
Twittеr has grown to become so much more than a social news website, now boasting over 500 million twеets every day. People use it to get their daily fix of newѕ, weather, politics, and all ѕorts of general banter.
Although a considerable portion of Twitter consists of users just chit-chatting and tweeting out things that come to mind, there are many reasons why you may be keenly interested in a particular user’s tweets. For me, it was when the official Twitter account for a game that I follow began regularly tweeting out free Steam keys. That’s something I want to pay attention to!
Whether it’s to stay informed of news, snag freebies before others, or pay a little “extra attention” to your significant other, there are plenty of reasons why Twitter notifications can be useful.
In this article, let’s go over how you can enable notifications for individual Twitter accounts on both web and mobile.
How To Get Twitter Notifications On The Web
Twitter’s integrated web notifications have been a bit of an anomaly ever since they launched. In multiple versions of Chrome and Firefox, users are told that their browser does not support the feature. That’s a major problem.
However, there’s a trusty service that helps fix issues like this one: IFTTT. We’ve gone over how to use IFTTT in the past, so read up if you’re unfamiliar with the service.
To create notifications for tweets, let’s start by creating a new IFTTT applet using the Tweet from search trigger. You can skip all of the menu navigation and get right to that page by clicking here.
To get Twitter notifications, let’s start by creating a new IFTTT applet with Twitter. While doing so, there are two trigger actions that are suited best for what we’re trying to accomplish – New tweet by a specific user and New tweet from search.
Looking for tweets from a specific user is self-explanatory—the trigger will fire every time a single user sends out a tweet. For simple purposes, this is very useful. However, looking for tweets from search is much more robust.
First and foremost, finding tweets from search is limited to 15 results per check. How often IFTTT polls for updates is a mysterious variable. Although it says in your applet’s settings how often it should check, it can be from anywhere to within a few seconds to 15 minutes.
Keep this in mind when creating your search query. Using OR and AND operators, you can group several searches into one. However, you may not want to do such a thing if you’d like to stay safely under the 15 results per check limitation.
That said, we’ve covered how to advanced search on Twitter in another article, and you can use these tips to build the perfect search query on this page.
As aforementioned, you can use a search query to combine a basic search for multiple users, like so:
from:onlinetechtips OR from:c89
You can also more narrowly filter tweets down to the presence of certain keywords, like this:
from:toejamandearl “xbox code”
Once you’ve decided on which search query you’ll use, save your trigger. Now is when you’ll need to determine how to receive your Twitter notification.
Here are some example “That” services that can notify you when your trigger is fired:
- Android SMS: connects to your Android phone and lets you send an SMS to any number (can be used in tandem with a Google Voice number and Google Voice notification extension).
- Facebook Messenger: sends a Facebook message.
- Gmail: send yourself an email.
- Notifications: sends a notification to your IFTTT-connected devices.
- Phone call: calls your number (US only) to leave a voicemail.
- Slack: posts to a channel.
Additionally, IFTTT supports services such as Pushbullet and Pushover, which act as ways to aggregate all of your Twitter notifications between devices. This can assist you in receiving notifications on your desktop, Chromebook, and other non-mobile gadgets.
While IFTTT isn’t the perfect solution, due to a slight delay in checking, its flexibility helps make up for it. You can receive notifications for tweets in so many interesting ways.
How To Get Twitter Notifications On Mobile
Since IFTTT does offer a mobile app, which includes trigger actions such as sending an SMS or push notification, it’s also a reasonable solution for smartphone users. If you want to receive mobile notifications from search-based tweets, it’s your only option.
However, unlike web notifications, Twitter’s mobile notifications feature is fully functional. If you’d like to enable tweet notifications for a specific user, all you have to do is navigate to their profile and make a few clicks.
- If you’re using a smartphone, you can navigate to a user’s profile and click the bell icon to the left of the Follow/Following button.
- If you’re using a browser, find that same Follow/Following button on a user’s profile.
- Click on the kabob menu (three vertical dots) icon.
- Select Turn on mobile notifications.
If you decide you’d rather turn mobile notifications back off, you can follow the same instructions for either platform.
Now that you know how to receive Twitter notifications on your desktop, laptop, smartphone, and any other device, there’s no excuse for missing that one tweet you’ve been waiting on for weeks.
