Yellows8 has a twitter bot for this, among other things: https://twitter.com/ylws8bot
However, do note that since it doesn't exclusively handle Switch updates, you will get superfluous tweets.

Example:

Sysupdate detected for Switch: https://t.co/7rrdlrMJot

Oh nice, thanks - I'll check it out and see if I can put a filter on it.

You can also use the RSS feed on Yellows8's page in conjunction with https://ifttt.com/ to alert you through various methods.

Thanks, yeah ifttt is pretty awesome. The RSS feed seems more specific and doesn't need filtering, so gonna go with that for now.

[hippy dave]

Yup, my notification from IFTTT about the update arrived about two seconds before the email about your reply to this thread

E: so, fingers crossed for eshop downloads on 4.1 during grace period...

 

[hippy dave]

So far, no go on the grace period

How the heck has this thread been up this long and no one has made a joke about "twatter bot".

You people are dead inside.

So far, no go on the grace period

Apparently, the grace period only applies to the previous firmware, so 5.0.0 this time.

Obviously not, having just had a productive and relevant conversation on the subject. It's just what I call twatter, because it's twatty.

I feared that might be the case, this sucks butts

instead of ifft you could use Integromat it allows a much more costumized process.

it allows other action too, you could for example repost it on twitter, fb, reddit or even here if you write a valid post script
