iHorizon Notifier
iHorizon Notifier is a module that allows you to follow your favorite creators on YouTube and Twitch through notifications sent by the bot to a specified channel. This process is similar to using an RSS feed, although we contact the API of these two services directly with an API key rather than using that method.

YouTube
To add a content creator on YouTube, you will need their channel ID. You can obtain it by going to the "About" page of any creator, then click the Share Channel button. This gives you two options: Share Channel (with a link) or Copy Channel ID. Click the latter, and the channel ID will now be copied to your clipboard. You can then use it for the iHorizon Notifier module.
