Are you tired of manually sending notifications to your Discord community whenever you go live on Twitch? Luckily, there are several ways to automate this process and ensure that your followers on Discord receive timely notifications whenever you start a live stream. In this article, we will explore five effective methods to get Twitch live notifications on Discord.

1. StreamCord Bot

StreamCord is a free Discord bot that enables you to manage Twitch notifications directly within Discord. Here's how to set it up:

  1. Visit the StreamCord website and log in with your Discord account.
  2. Select the server where you want to receive notifications.
  3. Scroll down and click on the “Add notification” option under the Stream notifications section.
  4. Enter the username of the streamer, choose the channel for the notification, and add a custom message if desired.
  5. Click on “Add notification” to complete the setup.

Now, you will start receiving notifications whenever the specified Twitch account goes live.

2. MEE6 Bot

MEE6 is another popular Discord bot that offers various features, including Twitch live notifications. Please note that this feature is available for premium users only. If you are already a premium user or plan to upgrade, follow these steps:

  1. Open the MEE6 Dashboard and log in with your Discord account.
  2. Select the server where you want to receive message notifications for Twitch.
  3. In the Dashboard, go to Plugins > Twitch.
  4. Search for the Twitch username of the streamer, select the notification channel, and add a custom message.
  5. Save the settings, and the bot will start sending notifications as soon as the stream goes live.

3. Using IFTTT

IFTTT (If This, Then That) is a service that allows you to connect and automate actions between different platforms. Here's how to set up Twitch live notifications on Discord using IFTTT:

  1. Visit the IFTTT website and create an account or log in.
  2. Click on “Create” to start creating a new applet.
  3. Select “Twitch” as the trigger service and choose the trigger you prefer (e.g., Stream going live for a channel you follow).
  4. Log in with your Twitch account and select the desired channel.
  5. Choose “Discord” as the action service and select “Post a rich message to a Channel”.
  6. Log in with your Discord account and select the server and channel where you want to send the notifications.
  7. Customize the message format if desired and create the action.
  8. Enable the applet, and it will send notifications to the selected Discord channel whenever the specified Twitch stream goes live.

4. Zapier

Zapier is a third-party app that works similarly to IFTTT, allowing you to automate actions between different platforms. Here's how to set up Twitch live notifications on Discord using Zapier:

  1. Visit the Twitch and Discord integration page on Zapier.
  2. Select the “New Live Stream” trigger under “When that happens” and the “Send Channel Message” action under “Automatically do this”.
  3. Connect your Twitch and Discord accounts.
  4. Choose the streamer from your following list and select the desired Discord channel.
  5. Customize the message if desired and create the Zap.
  6. Enable the Zap, and you will start receiving notifications on the selected Discord channel whenever the specified Twitch stream goes live.

5. Discord Webhooks

Discord Webhooks offer a faster way to send notifications compared to IFTTT and Zapier. Here's how to set it up:

  1. Go to your Discord server's settings and navigate to Server settings > Integrations > Webhooks.
  2. Create a new webhook and give it a name. Select the channel where you want to send the notifications.
  3. Copy the webhook URL.
  4. Use IFTTT or Zapier to set the trigger for a new Twitch stream.
  5. Instead of selecting Discord as the action, choose “Webhooks”.
  6. Paste the copied webhook URL and customize the message format.
  7. Create the action, and you will receive faster notifications on the selected Discord channel whenever the specified Twitch stream goes live.

By following any of these methods, you can ensure that your Discord community receives timely notifications whenever you start a live stream on Twitch. Choose the method that suits your preferences and enjoy seamless integration between Twitch and Discord.
