EvE Notify is a service for eve online which uses your customizable api key to automatically forward in-game messages and notifications to your email or through SMS text service.

UPDATE: Accounts that setup to forward only to email will not be charged any credits. Price Update for SMS forwards.


Notifications include: Tower Under Attack, New Applications, War Decs, or any other receivable in-game notification for that matter..

http://evenotify.com

Use The New Customizable API Key To Register, link is provided on the registration page to create a predefined key

How much does it cost?
EMAIL FORWARDING IS NOW FREE . EvE Notify uses a credit system to send SMS messages, these credits can be purchased by sending isk to the "EvE Communications Network" . Each credit represents one forwarded SMS message and costs 300,000 isk. Wallet data is pulled on the 20/50 of every hour, so if after 30 minutes, your credits have not shown up, contact us.

Are mail or notifications saved?
No, the only information that is saved is your API and other user settings, no messages or notification bodies are written to file or stored in a database. Header information is saved which is only the message id number and if the message has been forwarded to the end user.

How Safe is it?
API keys are encrypted before being stored in the database to help prevent someone from dumping the DB, with introduction of customizable API keys it should be even safer.

Any Guarantees that my info will be kept safe?
I can guarantee that any sensitive information that flows through eve notify will not be redistributed to any 3rd parties, or used in any such way as that would give any in-game advantage, It would be bad business if i did.

How many carriers are supported?
With the NEW SMS gateway 709 carriers.

How soon will I start receiving forwards?
It will take up to a hour before the system knows whuii2en there are new items to be sent, so please be patient. After that it will take however long until your api cache refreshes.41i0

Can i haz corporate discount?
Yes, you can enroll your corporation in EvE Notify. Corporate conversion rate is 250,000 per credit, minimum deposits are 25M

Are people in my corp automatically enrolled?
No, after the users sets up his/her account the character has to apply to be sponsored. The plan administrator, the user that enrolled the corp, will still need to log in and approve the user.

My character is corporate sponsored but none of the mails or notifications are processing, whats up?
Corporate and personal accounts are processed separately so it is possible to have credits in your personal account but if the corporate account runs out of credits, then mail and notifications for that character will not be processed. Please remind your corp ceo/director to add funds to the corporate account


There a two type of notification, Supported and Non-Supported:

Supported Notifications are notifications that have filters applied and additional data pulled to make the notification shorter and more concise.

Non-Supported are notifications that just have the raw data displayed, which if you wish to be supported please forward the entire message to admin@evenotify.com with "EN Notification Support Request" as the subject.

Also, only unread notifications are queued to be forwarded.


Please send all feature requests to admin@evenotify.com or post to this thread.

For additional support you can email the address above, or join the channel "EECN" in-game for quicker responses.

I Will try This But I Also Like To State some things...

1.
I am not sure if you are aware of this but another dev tried this and he ended up shutting it down out of Interest Issues.I Cant say it will happen with you but if for some reason you did close down.what would happen then?

2.Is There an Actual Guarantee That Peoples Information Like Phone Numbers Will Be Safe And Remain Safe?That is my current issue really.

If that dev had a conflict of interest then that was that devs problem.

I've played for almost 4 years now and don't imagine stopping anytime soon, so eve notify will still be up and will adapt to changes. Also, eve notify runs on two dedicated servers, with a contingency(Disaster Recovery) plan in place in case anything was to happen at one data center.

now.. depending what you mean by safe...

I can guarantee that any sensitive information that flows through eve notify will not be redistributed to any 3rd parties, or used in any such way as that would give any in-game advantage, It would be bad business if i did.

If you are overly concerned with privacy, then set up email on your phone and have your messages sent there. Also if you wish to just test the systems, which would also be appreciated, you can limit your customizable API Key to just a character you don't care about to test the waters.

IRL : I manage over 800 Linux servers that have to be kept to certain compliance standards, sox/pci/fisma , so i have a fair bit of experience hardening servers/web apps, so rest assure you are not just trusting a newbBlink

Yea, It seems your carrier for one reason or another shut down their sms relays, and converted them all to mms, so everything is sent as an attachment that gets sent through. I tried contacting them about it but they were pretty rude. I do have a work around for these type of relays, but I'm working on implementing it, will probably be live here in a few days.
