Stream Alerts
Post automatic notifications in Discord when a creator goes live, posts a tweet, a subreddit gets a new post, or an RSS feed updates.
Setup
Go to Stream Alerts in the sidebar.
Supported Platforms
| Platform | What Triggers an Alert |
|---|---|
| Twitch | Stream goes live |
| Kick | Stream goes live |
| YouTube | Live stream starts |
| X (Twitter) | New tweet |
| New post in a subreddit | |
| RSS / Podcast | New item in a feed |
Note: Twitch requires API credentials configured on the server, YouTube requires a YouTube Data API key, X (Twitter) requires a Bearer Token, and Reddit requires Reddit app credentials (see Reddit Feeds). Kick and RSS work without any credentials. Contact your bot administrator if alerts are not firing.
