Introduction

Are You looking to set up a notification bell in your Discord server? Do you want your server members to be automatically notified whenever you go live on platforms like Twitch or YouTube? In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of setting up a notification bell in your Discord server. With this feature, your server members can join a special notification squad and receive Instant notifications whenever you go live. Let's get started!

Setting up the Discord Server

Before we begin setting up the notification bell, it's important to ensure that your Discord server is properly set up. This includes creating the necessary channels, roles, and permissions. Make sure you have a designated channel for live notifications and a role for the notification squad. Additionally, enable Developer Mode in your Discord settings to obtain the message ID required for the setup process.

Adding the Notification Bell

To add the notification bell functionality to your Discord server, we will be using two bots: Pingcord and Dynobot. Firstly, add the Pingcord bot to your server and configure it to post live notifications. This will allow your server members to receive notifications whenever you go live on platforms like Twitch or YouTube.

Creating the Welcome Message

To inform and invite your server members to join the notification squad, create a welcome message that contains information about the notification bell. Encourage them to click on the notification bell emote to join the squad and receive live notifications whenever you go live on Twitch or YouTube. This message will serve as a prompt for members to opt-in for notifications.

Setting up the Live Notification Channel

To ensure that the live notifications are posted in a dedicated channel, set up a text channel specifically for live notifications. This channel will exclusively display notifications about your live streams. By segregating live notifications from other channels, your server members will have a clear and focused feed of live stream updates.

Creating the Notification Squad Role

To differentiate and identify the members who have joined the notification squad, create a special role called the "Notification Squad" or any other suitable name. Assign this role to the members who click on the notification bell emote, indicating their desire to receive live notifications. This role will grant them access to the exclusive live notification updates.

Enabling Developer Mode

In order to obtain the message ID required for setting up the Dynobot for reaction roles, you need to enable Developer Mode in your Discord settings. This feature allows you to access the message ID of specific messages within your server. Once enabled, you can copy the message ID of the welcome message that includes the notification bell emote.

Adding the Pingcord Bot

Now it's time to add the Pingcord bot to your server. The Pingcord bot is responsible for pinging the notification squad whenever you go live on Twitch or YouTube. After adding the bot to your server, configure it to post the live notifications in the designated live notification channel. By setting the notification ping to the notification squad role, only the members who have opted in for notifications will receive the ping.

Setting up the Pingcord Bot for Twitch Notifications

If you stream on Twitch, follow the instructions provided by the Pingcord bot to set up the Twitch integration. This integration ensures that live notifications are triggered and posted by the bot whenever you go live on Twitch. Customize the notification message and format according to your preferences, and include a link to your Twitch channel. Make sure to tailor the ping to the notification squad role, ensuring that only interested members receive the ping.

Adding the Dynobot

To enable the reaction role functionality, add the Dynobot to your server. This bot will allow your server members to opt in or out of live notifications by reacting to the welcome message that contains the notification bell emote. Set up a reaction rule using the Dynobot and link it to the welcome message within the server. This will ensure that members who react to the notification bell emote will be assigned the notification squad role.

Setting up the Dynobot for Reaction Roles

Configure the reaction rule within the Dynobot module settings. Assign a name to the reaction rule, such as "Live on Twitch," and specify the channel where the reaction role will be placed. Connect the reaction role to the welcome message that includes the notification bell emote by using the previously obtained message ID. Define the reaction emoji as the notification bell and assign the notification squad role as the role to be assigned when members react to the notification bell emote.

Conclusion

Setting up a notification bell in your Discord server is a valuable feature that enhances the engagement and interaction between you and your server members. By following the step-by-step process outlined in this article, you can easily configure the necessary bots and roles to enable live notifications. With the notification squad in place, your server members will stay updated and receive instant notifications whenever you go live on Twitch or YouTube.
