How do I automatically announce going live on Discord?

Your community lives in Discord, so a “we’re live!” post the instant you start streaming is one of the highest-value automations you can set up.

Use a Discord webhook

Discord channels can expose an incoming webhook URL that any service can POST a message to. That’s all you need to drop a message into your channel — no bot to host.

Trigger it on go-live

The trick is firing that webhook automatically when your stream actually starts. Native platform integrations can be flaky or limited to one platform. A restreamer that knows when your feed goes live can post the moment it happens, across every platform at once.

Frequently asked questions

Can I customise the message?

Yes — write any message and drop in placeholders like {channel.title}; Stream Repeater fills them in when the rule fires. Discord markdown and mentions work too.

Can I post to Slack or Telegram instead?

Yes. The same rule can post to Discord, Slack or Telegram, send a Pushover push, or hit any custom webhook.
