Why Forward Alerts to StreamElements?
Keep Your Current Overlay
StreamAlert uses the StreamElements API to push donation, tip, membership, and order alerts directly to your existing StreamElements overlay. Streamers keep their current OBS setup while gaining alerts from 7 additional payment platforms.
Unified Alert Stream
StreamAlert unifies alerts from CashApp, Venmo, PayPal, Ko-fi, Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee, and Fourthwall into a single StreamElements feed. Streamers manage all revenue sources through one familiar interface without switching tools.
Real-Time Processing
StreamAlert triggers StreamElements alerts within seconds of payment detection. Whether via Gmail parsing or direct webhook, events reach the StreamElements overlay instantly so no donation goes unacknowledged on stream.
Custom Widgets
StreamAlert works with any StreamElements widget configuration — custom themes, sounds, images, and animations. Streamers retain full creative control over how alerts appear while StreamAlert handles the payment detection.
