Rasslemania Match Notification System
In late September, 2025, Koop rolled out a feature to the GFtDS Website that offered folks to be notified prior to when their matches (or any matches of "rasslers" they are following) are scheduled for a given weekend. Historically, Koop had managed to perform the notifications manually, but at the time of rolling out the Rasslemania Match Notification System he was managing contact information for 35 people, all of whom had different preferences in how they wanted to be contacted (Discord, Facebook Messenger, and text message (SMS)). To simplify Koop's workload he wrote a tool to help partially automate the process of reaching out to folks. Unfortunately, despite writing code that handled all three of the various mediums people wanted to be contacted on, Facebook Messenger had a limitation Koop wasn't aware of until the last stage of testing. While the tool he wrote worked on Facebook Messenger, there is a built-in limitation that sets a hardcoded window of time when the tool could send a message to any given user, and that window was only 24 hours from the last message received from the user to the GFtDS Facebook Page. This meant that if he was to utilize the Facebook Messenger contact feature, anyone who wanted to receive a notification about their upcoming matches would need to message the show's Facebook page DAILY. Clearly, this wasn't a workable solution. Koop even looked into third party options through systems like Twilio, but those, too, had the same exact limitation (Koop basically wrote a Twilio service folks pay money for... yey?). Long story short, the Facebook Messenger option had to be ditched for production and currently only the Discord DM option and SMS text message option are available for folks.
