A Discord notification bot watches your YouTube channels and Twitch streamers, then posts an alert into your server the moment one uploads a new video or goes live. With SaqrBot you tell it which YouTube channel and which Twitch streamer to track, pick the Discord channel that should receive the alert, and choose a role to ping. Everything is set from the web dashboard, with no commands to memorize.
What a Discord Notification Bot Does
A Discord notification bot connects an external platform to your server. SaqrBot supports two sources: YouTube and Twitch. For YouTube it watches each tracked channel's upload feed and posts a rich embed — title, link, and thumbnail — when a new video appears. For Twitch it checks each tracked streamer and posts an embed with the stream title, game, viewer count, and link when they go live. It fires only once per new upload or stream.
Set Up a Discord YouTube Notification Bot
To turn SaqrBot into a Discord YouTube notification bot, open the dashboard's Notifications page and add a YouTube source: enter the channel ID (the UC… value from the channel URL), choose the destination Discord channel, and optionally pick a role to mention — or @everyone / @here. Every new upload then posts an alert embed automatically. You can track multiple channels, each with its own destination and ping — no commands to learn.
Get Twitch Live Alerts in Discord
As a Discord Twitch alert bot, SaqrBot tells your community the moment a streamer goes live. On the same Notifications page, add a Twitch source: type the streamer's username, pick the alert channel, and choose a role to ping. SaqrBot checks Twitch on a short interval and posts a purple go-live embed — title, game, viewer count, and a watch link — once per stream. Track as many streamers as you want, each with its own channel and mention.
Why SaqrBot Is a Great Notification Bot
Most servers run a separate bot just for alerts, then more for moderation and tickets. SaqrBot bundles YouTube and Twitch notifications with 15+ other systems under one bilingual, 23-page dashboard — so alerts, moderation, and everything else share one role and one login. Notifications are managed entirely from the dashboard (no command syntax), every alert can ping a role, and the whole bot is free. It is fully bilingual with RTL support.
