How can we improve the developer experience on Twitch?

Developers: EventSub

JUMP TO ANOTHER FORUM

(thinking…)

Please provide an event sub that emits "resub payments"

Subscribe topic only broadcasts "new subscriptions"

So when a subscription "expires" we don't get a "payment notification" for a Resub

This is NOT a eventsub for the "chat notification" see https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310213-developers/suggestions/42008104-please-provide-an-event-sub-that-emits-sub-notifi for that

    Having the resubs on the EventSub is something that is really missing, I'm trying to build an application, but I can't test if the events are working correctly since PubSub doesn't offer a way to manually trigger an event, and can't complete my application without the resub events, since if I use chat messages some subs will get missed, and with the application being used as an interaction with the stream, if someone choose to not send a message than their subscription won't be counted by the application, ending with the viewer having a lost opportunity.

    I need RESUB event because I have a goal bar that shows the number resubs of the day, this information would be incorrect if I do not know when someone RESUB without sending the message in the chat. This event exists in the webhook and in PubSub along with the subscription event, it should be included in the EventSub so as not to break the features that people built on top of it.

    Agreed, EventSub is feeling like a second class system without this information provided. I don't see a need for a separate subscription item for resubs vs. first time subs; I think the existing item should have resubs and tenure information included.

    > I’m not clear on the use case for this. It seems like with a resub chat message notification and subscribe/unsubscribe events you should have the data you need.

    We need to track people whom resub but don't notify in chat.
    Generally for the purpose of tenure
    Or missing unsub events.

    Please add Resubs to EventSub... I'd like to eventually drop use of PubSub but cannot do so until EventSub has feature parity with PubSub.

    With all the events (sub/resub/subgift ...) in EventSub it would be possible to update my application to just invoke lambda functions instead of having to keep a machine on all the time connected to chat.

  • dimos851 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes. Having this would be great! No need to use PubSub then.
  • BarryCarlyon commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please include tenure data in the payload (current streak, total months)

    Hi Barry, could you provide more details on what you'd use this for and could you elaborate on the difference between this and a chat notification event? Thanks!

    Having resub notifications in EventSub really would make life easier, and negate the need to use PubSub alongside it.
