How It Works
Add your BMAC webhook
Copy the webhook URL from StreamAlert and paste it into your Buy Me a Coffee dashboard under Integrations. This connects the two platforms directly.
Connect your alert destination
Link Streamlabs, StreamElements, or use StreamAlert's custom widget URL so on-stream alerts route to your OBS overlay.
Receive donations & memberships
When someone buys you a coffee or starts a membership, StreamAlert instantly triggers an on-screen alert with the supporter's name and message.
Why Use Buy Me a Coffee with StreamAlert?
Coffees & Memberships
StreamAlert receives both one-time coffee donations and recurring membership events from Buy Me a Coffee via webhook. Streamers get unified alerts for every revenue type without managing separate integrations.
Fills the Gap
Buy Me a Coffee has no native Streamlabs or StreamElements integration. StreamAlert bridges this gap by receiving BMAC webhook events and forwarding them as on-screen alerts — or streamers skip both and use the custom widget URL directly.
Webhook-Based

Supporter Messages
StreamAlert extracts the supporter's message from Buy Me a Coffee webhook data and displays it on screen alongside their name and amount. Streamers can acknowledge personal messages live during the broadcast.
