===== Send a Notification to Your Phone When the VHS is Open =====

Are you a non-keyholder member checking www.isvhsopen.com hoping the VHS is open? By linking existing tools we can push a notification to our phone, tablet, and/or PC and never have to check the website again!

=== You will need the following Apps: ===

  * [[https://vanhack.slack.com|Slack]]. If you do not have an invitation [[https://membership.vanhack.ca/index.html#/getinvolved/|get one here]] at the bottom of the page.

  * [[https://www.pushbullet.com/apps|Pushbullet]] installed on each device you wish to be notified on.

  * [[https://zapier.com/|Zapier]]. Is how we link the above two apps together. Once you have each of these apps installed, Create an account on Zapier and click the big red 'Make a Zap' button. The following steps take you from there. You do not have to pay for an account!
