Going Live On Twitch Setup Within Guilded

This video explains two methods to set up "now live" notifications from Twitch within a Guilded server:

1. Using the Built-in Guilded Bot (1:00-3:18):

• Connect Twitch: First, ensure your Twitch account is connected to Guilded. This can be done by going to Settings (gear icon in the bottom left), then Connections, and linking your Twitch account (1:12-1:28).

• Add Twitch Bot: Go to your server settings (upper left drop-down), then Bots, and add the pre-existing Twitch bot (1:32-1:46).

• Configure Bot: Edit the bot settings to specify which role (e.g., "streamers") should trigger the live notification and customize the message using special variables like $triggering_user_streaming$ and $triggering_stream_link$ (2:00-2:56).

• New Flows: Guilded also offers new features where the bot can automatically assign and remove roles when a stream goes live or ends (2:58-3:18).

• User Experience: When someone goes live, a link will appear in the designated channel, and the streamer will show up in the member list as "streaming." Users can even watch the Twitch stream directly within Guilded (3:28-4:18).

2. Using Webhooks with IFTTT or Zapier (4:21-10:44):

• External Services: This method requires using third-party services like [IFTTT]https://ifttt.com/ or [Zapier]https://zapier.com/. Both offer free plans with limitations (4:26-5:02). IFTTT is presented as more user-friendly for common users (5:13-5:28).

• IFTTT Setup:

  • Create an account on IFTTT.com (5:30-5:39).

  • Create a new "Applet" (5:47-6:08).

  • "If This": Select Twitch as the service and choose "A stream goes live for a channel you follow." You'll need to connect your Twitch account to IFTTT and select the specific Twitch channel to monitor (6:12-7:08).

  • "Then That": Select "Webhooks" and choose "Make a web request" (7:12-7:23).

• Guilded Webhook Setup:

  • In Guilded, go to your server settings, then Webhooks (7:28-7:40).

  • Create a new webhook, choose the channel where notifications should appear, and copy the webhook URL (7:40-8:47). Caution: Do not share this URL as it allows others to post to your server (8:32-8:43).

• Connect IFTTT and Guilded Webhook:

  • Paste the copied Guilded webhook URL into the "URL" field in IFTTT (8:55-9:03).

  • Set the "Method" to POST (9:06-9:09).

  • Set the "Content-Type" to application/json (9:09-9:14).

  • Copy the specific JSON body provided on the Guilded support page (9:14-9:42). The link to this page is in the video description.

  • Paste the JSON body into the "Body" section in IFTTT (9:46-9:53).

  • Click "Create action" and "Finish" (9:54-10:17).

• Result: This setup will also create a "now live" post in your Guilded server, similar to the bot method, with a link and preview of the stream (10:17-10:44).
