Noxyr Twitch Integration: Go-Live Alerts in Discord

What the integration does

Noxyr checks the creators your server follows every few minutes. When a followed Twitch channel starts a stream, it posts once in the channel you chose, with the live title, the game, the viewer count, a fresh thumbnail and a Watch button. It does not repeat while the stream runs. If the streamer goes offline and starts again, that is a new stream and gets a new alert.

You can ping a role or @everyone and write your own line using the placeholders {name}, {title}, {game} and {url}. The feature is free, up to 25 creators per server across Twitch, Kick and YouTube.

How it is connected

There is nothing to link. You do not log in to Twitch, you do not paste keys and you do not need to be the streamer. You give Noxyr the creator's name or link and pick an alert channel. Noxyr uses only Twitch's official API, which is also why some platforms are not offered: TikTok has no official way to see who is live, so it is not supported.

Anyone with Manage Server can add alerts. That means a community can follow its own members, partners or favorite streamers, not just the owner's channel.

Set it up

1. Open the page. On the dashboard go to Community, then Engagement, and open Stream alerts. Or use the command.
2. Add the creator. Run /stream add, choose Twitch as the platform, enter the creator's name or link and pick the alert channel.
3. Choose a ping. Optionally pick a role to ping and write your own message.
4. Send a sample. Run /stream test with the same platform and creator. It posts a sample without pinging anyone.
5. Check the list. /stream list shows everyone followed and who is live now.

To stop following someone, run /stream remove.

What it can and cannot do

• It can alert on go-live with title, game, viewer count and thumbnail, and ping a role.
• It can follow many Twitch channels at once, within the 25-creator limit.
• It cannot post chat, clips, follows or subscriber events. The docs describe live alerts only.
• It cannot make the alert instant. Noxyr checks every few minutes, and the alert is expected within about two minutes of a stream starting.
• It does not give viewers a role for watching or link a Twitch account to a Discord member.

Troubleshooting

Nothing posts when the streamer goes live

Run /stream list and check that the creator is there and that the alert channel is the one you expect. Then check that Noxyr can view and send messages in that channel. A sample from /stream test proves the channel works, even if the creator is offline.

The creator is not found

Enter the creator's exact Twitch name or paste the channel link, and pick Twitch as the platform. A wrong platform finds nothing.

The ping is missing

Choose a role when you add the creator, and check that the role can be mentioned or that Noxyr may mention it. The /stream add options let you set it again.

Alerts feel late

Alerts come from polling, not a live push, so a short delay is normal. It is not a fault if it lands within a couple of minutes.

Good ways to use the alert

Put the alert in its own channel, so members can mute it. Create a role such as Stream Squad, let people pick it up through a reaction role, and ping that role instead of @everyone. Keep the message short: who it is, what the stream is and the link. A one-line message with {name} and {title} reads better than a paragraph.

Following more than yourself is allowed. Many communities add friends, partners and regular guests, up to the 25-creator limit across all platforms. Review the list now and then with /stream list and remove anyone who stopped streaming.

Permissions to check

The alert channel must let Noxyr view the channel, send messages and embed links. If you ping a role, Noxyr also needs to be allowed to mention it. These three settings explain nearly every case of a silent alert.

Next step

See the stream alerts docs or the stream alerts bot page. Following other platforms works the same way: Kick and YouTube. Streamers will find more in the streamer guide.
