Getting started

• A Discord account and a server where you are the owner or have the Administrator permission. Only server admins can configure Fated Updates.
• The Twitch channel name or Kick channel name of each streamer you want to track (the name in twitch.tv/<name> or kick.com/<name>).

No credit card and no configuration files. Everything happens in the web dashboard.

1. 1Sign in with Discord. Click Sign in and authorize Fated Updates. We only ask for the identify and guilds scopes, just enough to know who you are and which servers you manage. We can never read your messages.
2. 2Pick a server. The dashboard lists every server where you are the owner or an administrator, and shows whether the bot is already in it. If it isn't, click Add bot. The invite asks only for the permissions the bot needs (see Permissions & privacy).
3. 3Create a monitor. Choose Twitch or Kick, type the channel name, press Check to preview the exact card, pick one or more announcement channels, and set any mentions or a custom message. Every option is explained in Stream monitors.
4. 4Send a test alert. Every monitor has a Test button that posts a real card to your configured channels immediately (without pinging anyone), so you can confirm everything looks right before the next real go-live.

• Stream monitors: creating, editing, testing, enabling/disabling, and the limits that apply.
• Notifications & live cards: what the alert looks like, custom messages, placeholders, mentions, and the Watch button.
• Stream-end actions: what the bot can do with the alert once the stream is over (delete, post an ended card with the VOD, or replace in place).
• Platforms & detection: how Twitch and Kick go-lives are detected, and where the game art comes from.
• Permissions & privacy: exactly what the bot and the dashboard can (and cannot) access.
• FAQ & troubleshooting: quick answers when something doesn't look right.
