Discord bot for YouTube and Twitch notifications
New YouTube videos, Twitch streams and RSS articles announced automatically in your server.
Dispatch.IO watches YouTube channels, Twitch channels and RSS feeds, and posts every new item in the channel of your choice, with an optional role mention. Each YouTube video is announced once, with its thumbnail and Watch video, Visit channel and Subscribe buttons. RSS feeds post their latest article with its summary and images, on an interval you pick from 1 to 1440 minutes.
Twitch gets special treatment: the bot checks every 30 seconds whether the streamer is live. The announcement shows the title, game, start time, a preview and the viewer count, and is refreshed at most every 3 minutes during the stream. Ten minutes after the stream ends, the same message turns into a link to the replay. The role is pinged only once, so updates don't spam anyone.
The module is free. You set it up from Discord with /config or from the web dashboard, where the Check & send buttons also run a check right away. RSS feeds are unlimited; the free plan watches 2 YouTube and 2 Twitch channels, and that quota grows with the Basic and Ultimate plans.
