More on OP3 and SMS
About OP3
OP3 is a free, open-source podcast analytics service built around a download-measuring prefix. Podcasters put https://op3.dev/e/ in front of the episode file URLs in their feed, and OP3 counts the downloads — no signup or login involved, and existing prefixes can stay in place. Every measured show gets a free public stats page with industry-standard download metrics, breakdowns by app and geography, and spreadsheet exports covering full history. The numbers are published openly and listener privacy comes first: raw IP addresses are never stored, only a rotating secure hash.
About SMS
Get important notifications on your phone via SMS. This service has a cap of 100 SMS messages per month for users in the US and Canada and 10 per month for those outside of North America. To avoid having Applets paused until the next month if you hit the limit, try the Notifications service. Some carriers outside of the US are not supported yet (learn more here). Please note: Messages sent must adhere to IFTTT's message guidelines.
