Why Use Ko-fi with StreamAlert?
Donations, Memberships & Orders
StreamAlert receives all three Ko-fi event types via direct webhook — coffees, monthly memberships, and shop orders. Streamers get unified alerts for every revenue source without managing separate integrations.
Direct API Connection
StreamAlert connects to Ko-fi via webhook, not Gmail parsing. Events arrive instantly with zero email dependency, so streamers get the fastest possible alert delivery for every Ko-fi transaction.
Minimum Donation Amounts
StreamAlert lets streamers configure a minimum donation threshold for Ko-fi alerts. Only payments above the set amount trigger on-screen alerts, so streamers can filter noise and highlight meaningful contributions.
