Step by step
Open Community › Creator alerts and turn the module on.
Choose the announcement channel and, if you want, a role to mention.
Click Add a creator, choose the platform, paste the link and save. Spider finds the channel, the account or the feed, and its name.
When Spider announces
Spider checks the channels every four minutes. A new YouTube video (Shorts and lives included), a Twitch live that starts, a Bluesky post (without reposts or replies) or a new article from a website is announced once, with the link: Discord shows its preview. What was published before it was added is never announced.
When the live ends
When a Twitch or Kick live ends, Spider edits its announcement: “Live ended”, with the duration and the viewer peak. The channel never keeps an outdated “live” announcement.
Follow a website
Choose Website (RSS) and paste the site link: Spider looks for its RSS or Atom feed itself. You can also paste the feed address directly. It works for most blogs, news sites and game patch notes. If Spider finds no feed, the site does not offer one.
Customise the message
Each creator can have their own channel and message. Use {name} for the name, {title} for the title, {url} for the link and, on Twitch, {game} for the game. If the link is not in the message, Spider adds it at the end. Send a test posts the latest post in the chosen channel.
Limits
Up to 25 creators per server. Spider must be able to write and embed links in the announcement channel. TikTok and X are not offered: these platforms have no reliable, free way to follow posts.
