Twitch Alerts
Alerts for every channel you follow — Goes live, Stream ends. Live alerts usually arrive under a minute after the stream starts.
Arclo watches a channel and posts an announcement when something new appears. The engine, the message editor, the filters and the behaviour options are the same on every platform — see Social Alerts for those. This page covers what is specific to Twitch.
Adding a channel
- Twitch channel
- Paste the channel name or its twitch.tv URL. For example:
pokimane or twitch.tv/pokimane. - Channel
- Where the alert is posted. A forum channel makes each alert its own thread.
- AvailabilityNeeds a provider
- This platform reaches an upstream service that Arclo's operator configures. If it is not reachable, the dashboard says so and the alert is still saveable — it starts working when the connection is.
