SMS/Text Laptime Notifications
This system can send you an SMS/Text alert each time a racer you've subscribed to completes a lap as well as respond to commands with other information.
There are two ways to quickly subscribe to your racer - the first is to visit the Racer Search/Profile page and click the "Notifications" button. The other method and functionalities are detailed below.
To use the system, you text codes from your mobile device or send an
email from your computer. Instead of texting
to a phone number as you normally would, you text to our email address:
- or use your computer to
email our responder address if you would like to receive notifications on your
computer. If emailing, be sure to send the codes in the BODY of the message, not the subject.
sub <transponder nbr> - Example: sub
4523427
Using this code will subscribe you to a transponder for the duration of
the event
- this causes you to receive an automatic notification each time the racer
completes a lap. The notification will contain current position, laptime,
and various other info. The system will text you
back a code to verify & activate your subscription. The code will be the
letter 'S' and two digits - for example: s15
unsub
Texting the word 'unsub' to our email address will cause the system to either
cancel your subscription in the case you only have one, if you have more than
one, it will respond back with codes to unsubscribe from all or a particular
racer. Unsubscription codes will be the letter 'U' followed by two digits -
for example: u15
<racing nbr> - Example: 199
Texting the system a racing number causes
it to respond back with
details about the racer's latest lap. If the system finds more than one
racer using the requested racing number, it will respond back asking you which
racer you would like and provide codes for each racer. The code will be prefixed
with the letter "L".
Example L12
<transponder nbr> - Example: 4523427
Texting the system a transponder number causes
it to respond back with
details about the most recent lap completed with that transponder.
<racing nbr> R - Example: 199 R
Texting the system a racer number followed by the letter "R", or the word
"results" will cause the system to find the most recent results for that racer
and text them back to your mobile device. If duplicate racing numbers are
found, the system will respond back with codes and racer names. The code
will be prefixed by the letter "r" - Example r19
<transponder nbr> R - Example: 4523427 R
Texting the system a transponder number followed by the letter "R", or the word
"results" will cause the system to find the most recent results for that
transponder and text them back to your mobile device.
<help> - Example: help
Texting the system the word "help" will cause a response to be sent to your mobile device with a
list of available commands and a brief description of how to use each command.
