Feeds are automated content subscriptions that deliver updates directly to your Discord channels. When new content is published on your subscribed platforms, SYNTHET automatically posts a formatted notification with customizable templates.

Use feeds to keep your community updated with YouTube uploads, Twitch streams, Reddit discussions, and RSS content without manual sharing. Each feed can be configured independently with its own delivery channel, template, and settings.

  • • Monitor feed volume to avoid notification spam
  • • Use threads for grouped feed updates in busy channels
  • • Archive or remove inactive feeds regularly
  • • Organize feeds by type or source in separate channels
