  1. I've been using the alert system for about a week now on my partnered channel and I've run into a number of serious bugs with it. Many of these stop use of the alerting system entirely or make it cumbersome to use. Trying to go through the ticketing system directed me here. Because of these issues I cannot use the alert system until they are resolved as it breaks the stream entirely.

    Skip Alert randomly stops functioning for hours at a time. - There doesn't seem to be a reason for this and it cannot be fixed on the users…

  2. We have added in the ability to configure and manage Alerts directly within your Creator Dashboard here on Twitch. You can use them in tandem with the alerts you love and already have set up with your third-party broadcasting software; however, we've expanded our system to offer not just classic alerts like subs, follows and cheering, but also Alerts for hype trains, raids, goals, and charity. On top of this, we've added brand new features like Interactive Resubs, which can be tailored to provide different visual and audio options for users to pick when sharing their resub anniversary message. We've…

    We're still welcoming feedback on Alerts, but wanted to drop by to let those of you know who had suggested that channel point integration be available for Alerts - it is now complete! Alerts for channel points are available. Check out our blog for some additional information and updates for Alerts.


    Please continue to consider how else can we improve alerts! Thank you for your feedback.

  3. Please add the ability to have a random alert play if multiple alerts match the parameters. For instance, setting up 3 variants for follow alerts, and a random one of those will play.
    Currently variants are listed in priority order, so only the top one will ever play.

  4. Being able to allow Editor access to the new Twitch Alerts system would be huge. This will help manage the feature and fix this up without locking it all to the streamers workflow alone.

  5. I appareciate currently there is no option for custom javascript due to security however third parties seem to not have an issue offering the ability for custom HTML, CSS and Javascript.

    It would be great to have the ability to add custom javascript so developers can create more complex alerts directly within twitch. This also would be beneficial to people who wish to use packages from Nerd Or Die or another overlay designer/provider.

  6. The new alerts feature on the Twitch dashboard is fantastic! But it's missing one super important alert and that's PayPal "tips" or "donations". Almost every streamer on Twitch uses PayPal as a way for their community to support them. Not having this alert available means that almost every streamer will still have to use a third-party website for donation alerts through PayPal.

    My request is to add paypal alerts to this new feature so that every alert can be used by streamers. It will make things so much easier and further reduce a new streamer's barrier of entry.

    Also, if…

  7. Sometimes I want to follow someone right there and then, but I don't want an alert which will give me unwanted attention. Is it possible to allow follows but give no notification of any kind to the streamer until their stream has ended.

  8. I love the new "viewer choose the image/sound" feature but I would prefer if I could choose which alerts allow it to be triggered!

    Ex.: Have it being triggered only for 6 and 12 months as a special reward for reaching the milestone OR have it triggered after a certain amount of months has been reached

  11. Just started using the alerts system and thought it would be fun to have the celebrations (cool feature btw) as a channel point redemption. I added all 3, and it worked perfectly at first, very cool.

    I went to stress-test it by redeeming all 3 at once, and now all 3 redeems show flamethrowers, even after refreshing the page and trying different browsers. Flamethrowers was the first one I redeemed during the stress test.

    UPDATE: After doing more tests, it seems that the issue is specifically with the flamethrower celebration, not with stressing the system. I disabled flamethrowers and the…

  12. I'd like to be able to temporarily pause alerts. Upon starting after paused, either the missed alerts should be queued up so they are still shown, or we should be able to play them ourselves from the dashboard (like every alert-worthy thing has an option to be played manually)

    Also, the ability to skip an alert (especially when tts is on) would be great from a moderation perspective.

  13. I would like to keep playing a video throughout the hype train informing people that I am on the hype train.
    For example, we want viewers to enjoy the viewer hype train by continuing to play the animation of the train running during the hype train.

  14. With the new Twitch Alerts, it seems that the only option is to have the alert sound play, and then the TTS play. This can needlessly prolong the notification and take away from the experience.

    I would like to have the ability to have the TTS start as soon as notification sound starts, so that it can speak over top of the sound.

  15. It would be fantastic if we could copy/paste variants to allow for quicker setup an better uniformity between them.

    As an example, let's focus on subscriptions. There's going to generally be at three variants in use: Prime sub, First time sub, Resub.

    I can't speak for us all, but I would think that most people would want generally the same experience between all three with the only change really being the wording "for the first time!" "for x months!" "with a prime sub!"for example.

    As it currently stands (as best I can tell) we have to create each variant from…

  17. When filtering the Activity Feed to Alerts, mods are greeted with a grey box and mods can't access the control for Twitch Alerts. Allowing this will help the streamer not worry about Hype Chats or other nefarious actions from showing on the stream

  18. When Custom HTML/CSS is toggled on, even without making any changes, alerts fail to work.
    I've tried testing using Preview Alert, Send Test Alert, and also with real alerts.
    If Custom HTML/CSS is toggled off, then alerts work fine.

    A simple thing I was trying to do was change the text to uppercase using the following:
    text-transform: uppercase;

    It works fine when I add that CSS to the Custom CSS box in OBS - this temporary workaround defeats the whole purpose of having Custom HTML/CSS in the Twitch Dashboard.

    It would be great if an option to change the case…

    Of course! You put in a lot of effort to write this out. The team would like some clarification regarding the following:

    "When Custom HTML/CSS is toggled on, even without making any changes, alerts fail to work.
    I’ve tried testing using Preview Alert, Send Test Alert, and also with real alerts."

    When this happens, does the sound play? Does anything show on the screen? Does it change when the screen is sized differently? Additionally, do you recall what the time frame was when you tried to do make these changes? Thank you!

  19. Would be nice to have a widget that displays chat :)

  20. It would be the most amazing thing ever to be able to design a custom alert that can be triggered via webhook!

    This would allow creators to utilize the alert system y'all did such a terrific job on for our own interactive elements!

    An alternative to a webhook trigger would be adding an endpoint to the Twitch API that lets us trigger an event. But this wouldn't be as accessible to all creators.
