Getting started

Fated Updates posts a stylized go-live card to your Discord server the moment a monitored Twitch or Kick streamer starts broadcasting. Setup takes about a minute — here's the whole flow.

What you need

  • 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, no configuration files — everything happens in the web dashboard.

Quick start

  1. 1Sign in with Discord. Click Sign in and authorize Fated Updates. We request only the identify and guilds scopes — 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 for the minimal 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. Full options are covered 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.
That's it — from now on, when the streamer goes live, the alert posts itself. There is nothing to keep open and nothing to run on your side.

  • 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.
