Commands

Important Notes

Twitter Spamming

It’s important to make the channel private while setting up Twitter. This is to avoid spamming the channel with notifications, as the bot will bulk send the first few tweets from the user, which can cause people to get pinged multiple times repeatedly in a short period of time.

YouTube Channel Incorrect

Sometimes YouTube provides the incorrect channel from the username. This is because the channel isn’t a known result on YouTube. If this happens, you can use the channel URL instead of the username to fix this issue.

Slight Delay in Notifications

Most social notifications are monitored at an interval. This can cause a slight delay in the notification being dispatched, however YouTube and Twitch notifications should be dispatched instantly whenever a new video or stream goes live.

Customizing the Message

You can’t customize the embed for social notifications. However you can customize the message content that is dispatched with the message subcommand. The pinterest command is the only exception, as it has an embeds subcommand which can be used to toggle the embed for the notification.
