Which events trigger an alert?

  • New follower.
  • Subscription and gifted subscription.
  • Kicks gifts.
  • Raid.
  • Donation (when Streamlabs is connected).

Setup

  • Copy the alert overlay address from the dashboard.
  • Add it in OBS as a browser source and place it on screen.
  • Set how long alerts stay on screen and whether they play a sound.
  • Send a test alert to check the look and sound before going live.

Text-to-speech

Optionally, donation and support messages can be read aloud after the alert sound, with its own volume setting.

Thank-you messages in chat

Alongside the on-screen alert, the bot can thank the follower or subscriber in chat with a message you write.

Frequently asked questions

The alert sound is not heard on stream. What should I do?

Can I test alerts?

Yes, send a test alert from the dashboard to check the look and sound without going live.
