# Introduction to Notifications

## What makes our notifications different?

* **It's extremely fast.** You will be notified within seconds of a stream starting, making it much faster than other bots providing a similar feature which can take 3-5 minutes.
* **It's reliable.** Our notifications rely on Twitch's latest technology, [EventSub](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub), which provide a fast and reliable way of receiving notifications. You will no longer miss notifications.
* **No duplicates.** Our notifications will never send duplicate alerts.
* **Full customization.** Our notifications are fully customizable. You can edit the messages to your liking, in any language.

## How do notifications work?

Sx Bot will notify and automatically post announcements in your Discord server whenever you or your favorite streamers go live on Twitch.

Once a streamer goes offline, the original notification message will edit and display stats of the stream including the total stream time, last online time, offline thumbnail, and a link to the VOD (if available).
