Alert Guide

What is Donation Alert?#

Donation Alert automatically displays pre-configured text/image/audio on your OBS screen when a specific donation amount is received from any platform. You can set different alerts per platform or apply a common alert across all platforms.

Create URL#

  • Enter a name on the Donation Alert page and the URL is generated automatically.
  • Copy the generated URL using the ‘Copy URL’ button.
  • Paste the copied URL in OBS under Add Source → Browser.
  • Recommended size: width 800px, height 600px

Add Alert Rules#

  • Click the ’+ Add’ button to create a new alert rule.
  • Each rule sets a donation-count range per supported platform (pick a base platform for auto-conversion).
  • Enter a donation-count range (min–max); the alert triggers for donations within that range.
  • You can create up to 100 alert rules.

Fun Entertainment Ideas for Your Viewers#

  • Platform-themed alerts: Red theme for YouTube, purple for Twitch, green for CHZZK! Makes multi-platform streams more vibrant
  • Roulette + Alert combo: Set up events where donations above a certain amount trigger a roulette wheel that decides challenges or missions

FAQ#

Q. The alert is not showing.

Check that the OBS browser source URL is correctly set and that the platform and donation amount in the alert rule are accurate.

Q. Can I set multiple alerts for the same amount?

Yes, if you set multiple alert rules for the same platform and amount, they will be displayed sequentially.

Q. Can I use GIF images?

Yes, .gif files are supported. Using animated GIFs can make your alerts more lively.

When changes are not reflected in the URL#

Double-click the source with the URL in OBS, check the ‘Refresh browser when scene becomes active’ checkbox, and click the ‘Refresh cache of current page’ button.

Smart Image Alert#

When a donation within the configured count range is detected during a stream, an image is generated from the prompt and shown on the OBS widget. The image disappears automatically after the set duration.

Create Imagen Settings#

On the Imagen page, entering a name automatically creates new settings and a URL. Register the generated URL in the OBS browser source.

Click the ’+ Add’ button to add image generation rules. Each rule has the following settings:

  • Platform — All or specific platforms (YouTube, Twitch, SOOP, Chzzk, Kick, Douyu, etc.)
  • Donation amount — The donation-count range (min–max) that triggers generation
  • Image prompt — Text describing the image to generate
  • Reference image — (Optional) Upload or attach via URL an image for reference
