# Setup Twitch Notifications on Discord

## Set up your notification channel

**1.** [Invite the Bot](https://invite.sxbot.io) if you haven't already.

**2.** Create a channel for stream announcements if you haven't already.

**3.** Configure the bot to send stream notifications to that channel.\
**Example:`/twitch add xqc #stream-notifications`**

**4.** All done! Sx Bot will automatically post announcements in your Discord whenever the streamer you added goes live on Twitch.

***

## Customize the notification

**1.** Edit the announcement message that is sent when a streamer goes live with the variables below\
**Example:`/twitch edit xqc {EVERYONE} {STREAMER} is just went live playing {GAME}!`**      

<table><thead><tr><th width="164">Variable name</th><th width="307">Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>{STREAMER}</code></td><td>The streamers Twitch name</td></tr><tr><td><code>{URL}</code></td><td>The <a href="http://twitch.tv/">twitch.tv</a> URL of the streamer.</td></tr><tr><td><code>{GAME}</code><br><code>{PLAYING}</code></td><td>The Twitch stream's game</td></tr><tr><td><code>{VIEWERS}</code></td><td>The Twitch stream's live viewers</td></tr><tr><td><code>{EVERYONE}</code></td><td>Mentions @everyone in your Discord</td></tr><tr><td><code>{HERE}</code></td><td>Mentions @here in your Discord</td></tr></tbody></table>

**2.** Test the live notification message.\
**Example:`/twitch test xqc`**

***

## Title Filter & Game Filters

&#x20;**1.** Restrict when Sx Bot sends a notification based on the game being played, category, or keyword in the stream's title.\
&#x20;**Example: `/twitch edit xqc title-filter No Pixel`**

{% hint style="info" %}
This is particularly useful for GTA RP/FiveM servers, similar to hasroot, where only streamers who have the keyword in their title will have the notifications displayed.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

***

## Stream Cleanup

&#x20;**1.** Choose whether to edit or delete the stream message when a stream ends.\
&#x20;**Example: `/twitch edit xqc clean-up edit`**

{% hint style="info" %}
When you choose the edit option, the announcement message will be edited to an offline message that shows total stream time, and links to the VOD.
{% endhint %}

***

## Remove a streamer

**1.** Remove a streamer from the streamers list.\
**Example:`/twitch remove xqc`**

***

## View the current streamers list

**1.** Show the current twitch streamers list.\
**Example:`/twitch list`**

***

## Notification Cooldowns

By default, there are no cooldowns on notifications. That means each time you go live, a notification will be sent to the channel. Some users may prefer to put a delay/cooldown in between notifications in case their stream restarts and rather not send another notification. To enable this, use **`/twitch edit`** and choose the **`cooldown`** option followed by the amount of time such as: **`5m`** for **5 minutes**, or **`1h`** for **1 hour.** You can also use the format **`5 minutes`** or **`1 hour`**.
