Please Add PayPal Alerts to the New Alert Feature
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 there was a way to include things like CashApp and a few of the other popular services, that would further solidify the new Twitch alert feature as the one to use. But in my opinion, PayPal is a must.

Hi, I'm adding my voice to EagleGarrett's suggestion, and I want to say that it's honestly surprising that after almost two years since this new feature was introduced, you still haven’t implemented such a simple — yet essential — function for us streamers. If the platform’s goal is to make our work easier, then direct PayPal donations are crucial in some cases. Without this feature, you're forcing us to rely on third-party sites just because they offer one extra alert.
