Event alerts

One alert per stream event (follows, subs, gifted subs, bits/KICKs, raids), with variations for bigger moments, plus points and paid alerts.

Open in Trigglow

Updated November 9, 2026

Triggers (/app/triggers) opens on the Alerts tab. Stream events lists Follow, Sub, Gifted subs, Bits / KICKs and Raid; Rewards & payments lists Points redeems and Paid alerts. Each event shows whether its alert is On, Paused or Not set up, and how many variations it has. Gifted subs and Bits / KICKs are always separate alerts.

Events come from every platform you link. Subs include Twitch subs, Kick subs and YouTube memberships; Bits / KICKs also covers YouTube Super Chats and TikTok LIVE gifts; raids come from Kick and Twitch. When TikTok is linked, its LIVE follows, subscriptions and gifts reach the same alerts. If you have no Gifted subs alert, a gifted sub plays your Sub alert instead.

Click an event to edit its alert in place: Alert on, Alert type (Classic, Animated or Rive file), Image, GIF or video, Sound, Message with its variables ({viewer}, plus {months}, {count} or {viewers} depending on the event), Read the message aloud, and On screen for. More options (style, voice, combo…) opens the full editor with the look, the voice, the platform filter and Only the first time.

Sub, Gifted subs, Bits / KICKs and Raid can have variations. A variation plays instead of the default alert when its condition matches: a range of months subscribed, gifted subs, bits/KICKs or viewers, and for subs, specific tiers. When several match, the most specific one wins.

Steps

1
Open Triggers (/app/triggers) and stay on the Alerts tab.
2
Pick an event under Stream events. If it is Not set up, click Create alert.
3
Change the image or GIF, the sound and the message, then click Save.
4
Click Test alert (or Save and test) with OBS open to see it on stream.
5
To celebrate bigger moments, click + Variation, set the from/to range (or a tier) and design that variation.
6
For channel points or paid alerts, use + New reward or + New paid alert under Rewards & payments.

Tip

Moving from another tool? Use More actions → Import from Streamlabs / StreamElements (or Import alerts on the Alerts tab). Paste the alert box's Browser Source URL, or choose From files to build alerts from a pack's videos, images, sounds or .riv files. Imported media is checked like any upload.

Note

Tests use sample data from the variation's own range, so Test alert plays exactly that variation. A test never counts towards quests.

Note

How many alerts you can have depends on your plan (see Pricing). Alerts imported over the limit are saved but locked: they do not go off on stream until you upgrade, delete some or choose which stay active.

Note

A variation needs a condition (an amount or a tier) before you can turn it on. Pausing the default alert does not stop a matching variation from playing.
