Hello there đź“° News! :martine_lurk:

(Stream) Alerts are back, finally! This feature was completely broken for quite some time now, but it's been rewritten entirely from scratch to a dedicated service just for this purpose, which makes it a lot more reliable for this bot.

Okay that's cool you'll say but... what does it actually changes? :martine_think:
Well great question, for now only Twitch is supported, yes for now is the keyword here, stay tuned for more sources (not essentially streaming related) being available soon™️ this year.
The usage has been a lot simplified as well compared of before. One main command, /alerts, with subcommands for each "category" of alert.
Want to set up a alert for a Twitch channel? Simply do /alerts streams twitch followed by the url or the name of the Twitch channel, that's it! :martine_cool:
You can change the settings of streams alerts with one command, a button will be there for each setting to change. Talking of settings, a few new things compared of before, you can disable the fact that the streams alerts message are auto-refreshed every 15 minutes, and you can select what the bot should do when the stream end, either delete the alert, or edit or send a new message that contains some informations about the stream. :martine_wow:

Typing /alerts in Discord: the streams settings and streams twitch commands.
The streams alerts settings message: the alert text, auto-refresh, the end behavior and its buttons.
