Set up Twitch alerts with Nekotina

Twitch alerts notify a Discord channel when a streamer you follow starts broadcasting live. Nekotina posts a customizable message with the channel name and, optionally, the viewer count.

Explore more social modules on Social alerts.

Prerequisites

1. Access to the dashboard.
2. A Discord channel for alerts, e.g. #streams or #twitch.
3. Nekotina needs Manage Webhooks in that channel.

Step 1 — Open Twitch

1. Select your server.
2. Go to Social Alerts → Twitch.

You'll see how many alerts are configured and your plan limit.

Step 2 — Create an alert

1. Click Add new alert.
2. Search and select the Twitch channel.
3. Choose the destination Discord channel.
4. Write the alert message using {{channel}} for the streamer's name:

🔴 {{channel}} is live! Join now on Twitch.

5. (Optional) Enable Viewer count to show live viewers.
6. Customize the notification display name and profile picture.
7. Click Save changes.

Step 3 — Manage alerts

From the list you can edit or remove existing alerts. Each streamer needs their own alert.

Tips

• Use a dedicated channel so alerts don't mix with general chat.
