IFTTT Post Request JSON Body - Embedded Discord Message When Stream Goes Live

discord_embed_json.json

{
   "embeds":[
      {
         "title":"<<< {{ChannelName}} is live on Twitch!>>>",
         "url":"<<<{{ChannelUrl}}>>>",
         "description":"<<<{{Game}}>>>"
      }
   ]
}

Paste this code into the body field of a web request going to your discord endpoint.
This code is meant to be used at ifttt.com.

Would I be able to add a stream preview to this? I use it now but it kind of looks scammy.

Many people asking about the stream preview functionality (both here and on YouTube). I've made comments on YT to this end, but basically when I originally built my applets - the stream preview ingredient that IFTTT was sourcing from twitch was not stable. The ingredient URL linked to a generated thumbnail for your stream that was hosted someplace online (which is exactly what I expected) - the only problem was that the image at the URL would only sometimes be an actual thumbnail of the stream. I'd say 80% of the time it was a sample image with dimensions inside of it. I do not know if that problem lies within twitch, ifttt, or something about my stream itself, but the preview ingredient was unstable back when I tried using it. I'll give things another go now and report back since it has been awhile since I've tried and its clear a lot of people are seeing my video.

Just wanted to put my experience here in case others are struggling to implement it as well.

Hi, that's a cool JSON message! Would I be able to ping a role like this too?

I do not know of a way to ping a role with an embedded request like this. Let me know if you figure it out!

I was able to ping a role by adding the following

{
"content": "<@&ROLEID>",
"embeds":[
{
"title":"<<< {{ChannelName}} is live on Twitch!>>>",
"url":"<<<{{ChannelUrl}}>>>",
"description":"<<<{{Game}}>>>"
}
]
}

Thank you! That worked!
