How to Set Up Kick Alerts on Discord

3 min readLast updated: Sep 21, 2026

This guide gets a Kick.com live alert into your Discord server in under a minute. You only need the "Manage Server" permission in your Discord server.

  1. Invite Kick.bot to your server:
    • Open the invite link and pick your server.
    • Leave the requested permissions as they are, they cover everything below.
  2. Find the streamer you want alerts for:
    • Go to kick.com and open the streamer's page.
    • Copy their link, for example https://kick.com/xqc, or just their name, xqc.
  3. Run the /add command:
    • Use /add in any channel of your server.
    • Paste the link or name into the "streamer" option.
    • Pick the channel where alerts should post in the "channel" option.
  4. Done, the alert works:
    • The next time that streamer goes live, the bot posts an alert in your channel.
    • Repeat /add for every streamer you want, up to 50 on the free plan.

Make the alerts yours

The default alert is only the start. A few optional extras:

  • Custom messages: use the "message" option of /add, or edit later with /edit. Run /variables to see placeholders like [[STREAMER]], [[TITLE]] and [[URL]].
  • Embeds and buttons: build the full message visually in the Message Builder, then paste the JSON into the message option. See the embed guide for details.
  • Filters: skip alerts whose stream title matches a pattern, for example reruns, with notification filters.
  • More than alerts: add subscriber roles, gift leaderboards and channel counters with the other commands covered in the feature guides.

Note:

No alert arriving? Check that the bot can view and write in the channel you picked, and that the streamer name was spelled right. The troubleshooting guide walks through all of it.
