Streamer.bot Events & Placeholders
AlertForge overlays respond to live events sent from Streamer.bot using WebSocket triggers. These events drive dynamic content like alerts, text updates, animations, and more.
How It Works
When a supported Streamer.bot event occurs:
- The payload is received in real time by AlertForge via WebSocket
- Placeholders from the event (e.g.
{user},{amount}) are made available to your overlay - Your overlay’s code or configuration can respond accordingly
If your overlay uses a GUI editor, these placeholders can be inserted into message fields or config templates.
Testing Events
You can test your overlays by simulating an event in Streamer.bot.
Steps to Test:
- Open Streamer.bot
- Go to the Actions tab
- Right-click an action and choose Add Trigger
- Select any event type (e.g.
Twitch > Subscriptions) - After saving the trigger, right-click it and choose Test Trigger
Your overlay (if open in a browser or OBS) will respond as if the event occurred live.
This is the recommended way to develop and debug overlays using real data.
Viewing Placeholders
On the overlay view page, AlertForge includes a Placeholder Console. This side panel shows the available variables in real time as events are received — such as:
{user} → Twitch username
{message} → Chat message
{amount} → Bits, donation, or channel point value
You can use these placeholders in your config or directly in your overlay HTML/JS/CSS.
