Twitch-Specific Features
VOD Links
Offline notifications include a "Watch VOD" button linking to the stream recording. This lets your community catch up on streams they missed.
VOD links only appear if the streamer has VODs enabled on their channel. Some streamers disable VODs.
Game Artwork
Notifications include the game's official box art as an embed thumbnail, making it easy to identify what's being played at a glance.
Embed Color: Purple (#9146FF)
Clip Notifications
Streamlinx can notify your Discord server when viewers create clips from a tracked Twitch streamer's broadcast.
Setup:
- Navigate to your streamer in the web dashboard
- Open the Content tab
- Enable Clip notifications
Template variables for clip notifications:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
{streamer} | Channel display name |
{title} | Clip title |
{url} | Clip URL (clips.twitch.tv) |
{clipper} | Who created the clip |
{game} | Game being played when clipped |
{duration} | Clip duration |
{username} | Channel username |
Content notification channel: You can route clip notifications to a different channel than live notifications. Configure this in the Content tab under "Content Notification Channel."
Cooldowns: Premium users can set a separate cooldown for clip notifications in the Advanced tab.
