What is StreamPulse by GPN?
Last updated: 10 days ago
StreamPulse is a powerful, lightweight monitoring tool designed to keep your community connected. It acts as a continuous link between Twitch and Discord, ensuring your audience is notified the moment you go live—without you ever having to leave your streaming software. Whether you manage a single channel or an entire network of creators, StreamPulse automates your outreach so you can focus on your content.
Key Features for Your Community
1. Reliable Real-Time Monitoring
StreamPulse constantly monitors your Twitch status. It is designed with "Signal Stability" logic, meaning it can distinguish between a brief internet hiccup and a genuine stream start. This ensures that your Discord community isn't spammed with false alerts.
2. Dynamic Live Notifications
Your Discord announcements are no longer static. StreamPulse uses "Smart Payload" technology to keep your community informed:
- Live Title Updates (Auto-Refresh): If you change your stream title while you are live, StreamPulse automatically updates your existing Discord message to show the new title.
- Category & Game Tracking: The notification footer automatically displays what you are currently playing. If you switch games, the Discord post updates to reflect your new category.
- Professional Branding: Notifications include your high-resolution Twitch avatar, stream description, and a direct "Watch Now" link.
- Anti-Flap Protection: If your stream crashes and you restart within a few minutes, StreamPulse remembers the previous notification and avoids sending a duplicate "everyone" ping.
3. User-Friendly Management Dashboard
Manage your notification settings through a simplified, central interface:
- Real-Time Status: See exactly who is currently live and what their current stream data looks like.
- One-Click Toggles: Easily enable or disable notifications or Auto-Refresh for any channel without re-entering data.
- Detailed Activity Logs: Review a transparent history of every notification sent and every update made to your Discord posts.
4. Automated System Maintenance
- Smart Log Retention: To keep the dashboard fast and responsive, the system automatically cleans up old activity logs. You will see a "Maintenance" entry in the logs whenever the system optimizes its database.
- Badge Recognition: The system automatically identifies and displays Twitch Partner or Affiliate status, ensuring your roster looks professional.
Benefits of Using StreamPulse

- Set and Forget: Once a streamer is added to the dashboard, the system operates 24/7 on autopilot.
- Branding Consistency: Ensure every notification across your entire server follows a clean, professional, and uniform design.
For Streamers
- Zero Interruption: You don't need to alt-tab to Discord to announce your stream or game changes. Focus entirely on your broadcast.
- Professional Presence: Your community always sees the most accurate and up-to-date information about your stream, even if you change plans mid-broadcast.
For Admins
- Performance Optimized: StreamPulse is built to handle large numbers of channels with zero lag.
