What you will end up with
When a streamer you follow goes live on Kick, ZombyIO sends your message with a card showing the streamer, the title, the category and a picture. Each stream is announced once.

Where to find it
Open the dashboard, pick your server and choose Kick notifications in the sidebar (on a phone: under Features in the bar at the bottom). That is two clicks from your server list. You can also press Ctrl K anywhere in the dashboard and type the name.
In the dashboard, pick your server and choose Kick notifications in the sidebar. The feature is already switched on for a new server. Nothing is posted until you have added a streamer and picked a channel.

We look it up straight away.Pick where the announcements goOne channel per streamer, with its own ping if you want one.Switch the feature onNothing is posted in your server until this is on.

Step 2: Add a Kick streamer
Under Add a Kick streamer, type the streamer’s Kick name or paste the channel address, then press Look it up. mia, @mia and kick.com/mia all work.
The page answers with the streamer’s name and whether they are live right now, so you can tell it found the right one.
Tip
A streamer keeps working when they change their Kick name. ZombyIO follows the channel itself, not the name.

Step 3: Pick the channel and an optional ping
Each streamer gets a card under Streamers you follow. In Announcements go to, pick the Discord channel. A streamer without a channel stays silent. Under Ping this role you can pick a role to mention.
Important
ZombyIO needs to see the channel, send messages and embed links there, or the announcement never appears. See roles and permissions.

Step 4: Choose the wording and the look
Under What the announcement says, pick a starting point or write your own text. {streamer} is the streamer’s name, {title} the stream’s title, {game} its category, {url} the link to the channel and {mention} the role being pinged.
A card of our own adds a card with the title, the category and a picture of the stream in your colour. Just the link leaves the preview to Discord.

Step 5: Save and wait for the next stream
Press Save. The first announcement comes the next time the streamer goes live, usually within a minute or two of the start. A stream that was already running when you added the streamer is not announced.
Tip
Every server follows up to 5 streamers, free on every plan.

Something not working?
The problems people run into most often, and how to fix each one.
A streamer went live, but nothing appeared
Check these in order:
The streamer has no channel in Announcements go to.
The feature switch or Announce this streamer is off, or the page was not saved.
The stream was already running when you added the streamer.
The next check has not happened yet. That usually takes about a minute.
The announcement came a few minutes late
ZombyIO asks Kick about each streamer regularly, about once a minute. When ZombyIO as a whole follows very many streamers, each one is checked less often.
A stream was announced again
A streamer who ends a stream and starts a new one is announced again, because it is a new stream. A stream that keeps running is announced once.
The lookup cannot find the streamer
Check the spelling of the Kick name: it is the part after kick.com/ in the channel’s address.
I cannot add another streamer
A server follows up to 5 Kick streamers. After removing one, press Save before adding a new one.
Ask in the ZombyIO support server. Bring your support ID, your server’s support ID and a sentence about what you expected to happen, and someone will look at it with you.
