Social Media Alerts
Get notified in Discord whenever a YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram creator posts new content.
ShadowCore's Social Alerts system monitors your favorite content creators and automatically posts a notification in a Discord channel the moment they upload new content.
All social alert commands require Manage Guild permission.

Social alerts have a check interval — there may be a short delay (up to 30 minutes) between a creator posting and the alert appearing in Discord. This is normal behavior.
