How to Get Facebook Fan Page Activity Alerts via Email

 

.

For a while now, one of the biggest features missing from Facebook fan pages was the ability for administrators to get alerted of any activity happening from fans.

Now, you can get email notifications of activity happening on your page with this nifty new free service called Hyper Alerts

  1. Go to Hyper Alerts
  2. Create an account
  3. Click add a new alert
  4. Type in your Facebook Fan Pages vanity URL
  5. Set the frequency for the alert (we recommend the as soon as possible option)
  6. Sit back and watch the alerts roll in via email.

Here is what the email notification looks like:

Now you are up and running and can interact with the people who are posting on your fan page without having to sit on Facebook refreshing the page!

This also give you the ability to keep an eye on competitors fan pages as pointed out by Eric Marshall on the Inbound Now Fan Page. How did I know this? Oh, Hyper Alerts told me. =)

Great work Hyper Alerts, Awesome stuff! Also, kudos to Mari Smith for the tip off on this!

Hi David, 
 
Thank you for this great tip. I've spent a lot of time refreshing my fan page and this will save me time.

@Jeremy - You bet! This made my day yesterday and is going to help me streamline managing our new page http://www.facebook.com/inboundnow ! 
 
I still can't believe facebook doesn't provide this basic functionality... =P

I need the unmarketing book to help me make less mistakes when it comes to marketing.

Didn't realize you could do this, thanks Hubspot, I agree with Jeremy that it will save me a lot of time for the fan pages that I manage... I'm going to add this tip to my <a href = “http://blog.roominatemarketing.com/2011/01/social-media-startup-kit.html”>free social media startup kit white paper

David, 
 
Great tip! Keeping all the balls in the air, and coordinating disparate social networks and email marketing is a tough juggling act, especially for small businesses. Many thanks to you and Mari Smith for sharing this new tool.

I'm wondering; Does it send alerts when someone comments on a post? Or, does it only send alerts when someone creates a post?

Ok.. I asked too quickly. I see "comments" is an option. Very nice find. Thanks for sharing!!

Finally :) Thank you so much for the information, this will truly streamline fan page management for all of us.

David, This is exactly what I need. It has always boggled my mind that there wasn't a way to be notified of FB fan page activity. Thanks so much for sharing!

this looks promising, and simple

I was a little skeptical so I wrote on our wall and a few minutes later I got a nice mini screen shot of the activity. Then I set up a filter and folder in my email so I will always know, asap, when there is activity on our page! Thanks.

This really seems to be the cool feature. Now, page creators can really add value to their FB activities.

Great. Have registered and looking forward to the first mails. Thanks for the advise.

That's great!. This is something I can use

David, great post! Plus, I was a little shocked when I saw my Facebook post on the Hyperalert example. I guess nothing is safe anywhere ;)

So fantastically useful...not just great for keeping on top of activity, but also for sending a daily or weekly digest of activity to the clients for whom I am monitoring pages! New acct setup in under a minute as well?! I predict this will be an indespensible tool.

Thanks so much for this post. I have been emailing Facebook from time to time (it's like emailing a Brick wall - no response!) and I am glad someone came up with a solution 
 
I look forward to testing it out :)

That's great.. This could help many people to do it..
