The question is: How to send a system messaget (the one with green background)? I really want to send deploy message that way, it would really help our team chat. Or is it all userscripts? :(

Is there any app or addon to receive notifications from external website updates?

I have been searching for this for many days, or weeks, and I am totally frustrated. Hopefully someone can help.
It is something very simple. I have to translate articles from an author but the software I use to get the notifications doesn't work. Do you know of any website, app, service... that may send me an SMS or a GMAIL message everytime a writer publishes a new article?
I can't edit or manipulate in any way the website, that is why I wrote "external". I searched and I couldn't find the RSS option in the website. In theory IFTTT depends upon RSS, so same issue.
Thank you so much folks!

Connecting to Facebook with VB.net

I'm wondering if there is a way to connect to Facebook using VB.net? By connect I mean I would be able to access friend list, notifications, messages etc.
So far I have managed to validate the log in - i.e. it tells you if a user exists with the specified details. But now I'm stuck with how to view the accounts information.
Thanks
You will have to get an AppKey, this is required. Another thing is you have to install the sdk from Facebook. After this has been done, take a look at this project to get going, its too broad to post here...

Dropbox API: Get Notified On File Events Without Polling

I found this post on getting Notified when a file changes on dropbox. The problem is that the "/delta" API endpoint requires polling. I want instead to subscribe to events about file changes.
Ideally, I could subscribe to both "new file" and "file updated" events for a specific folder. I could then give dropbox a URL pointing to my own app that would be called when those events occurred. This is similar to how Twilio works. You can provide a URL to be POSTed to whenever your phone number receives a text message, and then your app can respond to POSTs to that URL however it wants. This seems like a much more elegant solution than polling -- is there any way to do it with the dropbox API?
UPDATE 6/5/2014
We actually have webhooks now: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/webhooks
(original reply below)
No, Dropbox doesn't support this.
BTW, the general term for the sort of notification you describe is a "webhook."
http://developers.box.com/webhooks/
it seems like Box API has webhook. You may want to try it.
I received an email today regarding Dropbox WebHooks that is in the beta phase:

Happy Dropboxing!
Dropbox now offers webhooks, although not with a event_type filter

Email notification for messaging

I am using 8.0.1 SP1.
I have not been able to find a definitive answer for this so far. Does the messaging server control have an option for notifying the user via email that a message has been sent to them? Email is set up for the site and working. In my site, I have community notifications set to email in my profile. I have ek_EnableMessageBoardEmail set to true in web.config. I do realize that there is a difference between message board and the messaging server control but I am trying everything. Is this possible without coding the functionality? If not, can someone point me toward some starter code?
I also posted this question at http://dev.ektron.com/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=41480
Thanks.

No this is not possible. The Ektron Messaging control can only send internal messages within the CMS to other users. The server control produces markup that looks a bit like it might be email but it is not.
The Messaging control does have the ability to send an email to a community group but not individual users.
See Ektron's documentation here.
You will have to code your own custom solution to this.

New Messaging System API for non developer accounts

According to this blog post the new messaging system should be accessible via the API (fql/graph) for non developer account as of end of November. It still gives OAuthException with message "You must be a developer of the application".
I was unable to find any updates on this issue from Facebook or other sources. Anyone knows what is going on with this and when will it be accessible?
There was a bug opened on the subject, anyone who has interest in this might consider promoting it.
Going to answer my own question, according to the response on the bug seems like the official answer is:
"We said it would be published but it wasn't, so just wait until we say it will be published again".
Are you trying to read messages or send them? It's still not possible to send them but reading them should work for any app now
