So I guess what I mean by integrate is have Chatter pass along its notification to Butler to have it handle the alarm and nags. As it is right now, it seems to me that Butler and Chatter are fighting each other for control of the LED, that is why I cant seem to get my Chatter LED notificaitons to work reliably.
Is anyone esle having this issue? For users of Butler and Chatter, how do you have the two apps set up to get reliable LED notifications??
Even though I would like to see even further integration between chatter and butler, I have to say that so far I have them playing pretty nicely together (since the latest beta's where Marc added in the snowflake). I should start off by saying that I have everything working where buter and chatter don't interfere with each other (butler also gives me my alerts for voicemail and sms etc) I have things set up so that when I get an e-mail in chatter, butler will flash the led (flashing green) and then I will hear an alert (from butler) until I acknowledge the alert.
One thing I should add is that to even begin to get them to play well together, you have to go into the chatter console, and type "indicator red." After that, you have to make sure that all of chatter's led settings are set to off, you don't want chatter handling the led at all (if you are trying to get butler to work). You will also have to disable chatters ability to pop up over other apps when you have a new e-mail. If you leave the chatter pop up preference on, chatter will auto acknowledge the alarm once the pop up goes away (which you probably do not want).
Right now, the one major thing that I can't have with chatter and butler, is the ability to have butler automatically stop the alert, once the e-mail has been checked through any other source other than the chatter app itself. For instance, if I get an alert in butler when I have a chatter e-mail, and then I check the e-mail on fastmail, the alert will still stay on in butler until I acknowledge the alert on the treo. These are some of the areas where I would like to see further integration between chatter and butler.
If anyone needs any further tips that I can help with, don't hesitate to ask.
