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.

Example of the embedded current status card

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 JSON data instead of an embeddable HTML snippet, see JSON API.

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