Twitch and Kick live alerts
The alert goes out when the stream starts, with title, game and viewers. When it ends, the post can turn into a “was live” recap with duration and peak viewers — or be kept or deleted.
Twitch and YouTube notifications for your Discord server
Social alerts announce your creators the moment it matters: when a Twitch or Kick stream starts, when a YouTube video or Short drops, or when a feed posts something new. Paste a channel link in the web console, pick where to post and who to ping — BotGG does the watching.

What you get
YouTube uploads and Shorts
New videos, Shorts and live streams are announced through the official YouTube Data API, and you can filter which kinds to post. Paste a channel URL, @handle or channel ID.
RSS and Atom feeds
Follow blogs, news sites, patch notes or any public RSS/Atom feed. BotGG uses only official platform APIs and public feeds — no scraping.
Pings you control
Ping nobody, a role, @here or @everyone per subscription. Only the ping you chose can notify anyone — a stream title can’t smuggle in mentions.
Your text, your look
Write your own message with variables like {streamer}, {title}, {game} and {url}, choose a full, compact or no embed, a custom color and a Watch button.
Test before it’s live
/alerts test posts a sample alert so you can check the channel, ping and wording. /alerts list shows every subscription and its status.
How it works
Enable Social alerts
Open Social alerts in the web console and set a default channel and role to ping for new subscriptions.
Add a creator or feed
Choose the platform and paste the channel link, @handle or login. The console resolves the account and shows its name and avatar.
Choose channel, ping and message
Pick the channel, the ping, the embed style and your own text. The live preview shows exactly what the bot will post.
Alerts arrive automatically
BotGG checks live platforms about every minute and feeds every few minutes, then posts in your channel. Each subscription shows its status in the console.
Twitch notifications on Discord without the busywork
Streamer communities live on timing: a go-live ping ten minutes late is a ping nobody clicks. BotGG posts the alert with the stream title, game and viewer count, pings the role your members opted into, and — if you like — edits the same message when the stream ends so the channel shows a clean history of past streams instead of stale “live now” posts.
Let members choose whether they want those pings with a role menu, and greet new followers who join from the stream with Welcome messages.
Supported platforms, honestly
What each platform needs, so there are no surprises:
- Twitch — live alerts through Twitch’s official API, which the bot operator connects; the console tells you if it isn’t available on your bot.
- Kick — live alerts through the official Kick API.
- YouTube — new videos, Shorts and live streams through the official YouTube Data API. With many channels, checks are spaced out to stay within Google’s daily quota.
- TikTok — not available: TikTok has no official API for this, and its terms forbid automated collection.
- RSS/Atom — any public feed, no setup needed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get Twitch notifications in Discord?
