Advanced Tasks

This page covers a few optional features that some eruv admins use.

SMS keyword signup

If you set a Text Message Sign Up Keyword in Eruv Settings, people can subscribe by texting that keyword to your eruv’s SMS number.

Example:

• keyword: CHICAGO
• action: text CHICAGO to your eruv text message number

If someone texts the keyword again and is already subscribed, the system will not create a duplicate subscription.

Standard SMS stop words such as STOP will unsubscribe the phone number.

Add a donation tab

If you use a donation platform such as Donorbox, Givebutter, Zeffy, or PayPal, you can add its embed code to your eruv page.

To do that:

1. Copy the embed code from your donation platform.
2. Open Eruv Settings.
3. Go to Page Tabs.
4. Add a Text tab.
5. Paste the embed code into the editor’s HTML/source mode.
6. Save the eruv.

Embed the current status on another website

If you want to show your current eruv status on a synagogue or community website, you can embed it with the code below.

You can find your eruv ID on the Eruv Settings page under Basic Info.

Replace {ID} with your eruv ID:

<div id="eruvstatus-embed"></div>

<script>
fetch('https://eruvstat.us/embed/{ID}').then(response => response.text()).then(data => document.getElementById('eruvstatus-embed').innerHTML = data);
</script>

Add that code to the page on your external website where you want the current status to appear.

If you need help with setup, contact info@eruvstat.us.

JSON API

If you need the status history in JSON format for another website or app, use this endpoint:

https://eruvstat.us/eruv/{id}/json

Replace {id} with your eruv ID. You can find your eruv ID on the Eruv Settings page under Basic Info.

Example response:

[
  {
    "created": "1733507169",
    "field_status": "not checked",
    "field_status_info": "Parshas Vayeitzei",
    "field_date": "06 December 2024"
  }
]
