## 📬 Notification Methods
### Telegram bot
The easiest way to get notifications is through the Telegram bot.
1. Open Telegram and search for [@LootScraperBot](https://t.me/LootScraperBot)
2. Start the bot with `/start`
3. Use `/manage` to choose your platforms
4. Use `/help` to see all available commands
It will send you a message whenever a new free game or loot is available on your selected platforms.
You can also add it to your groups and channels if you want.
### Telegram channels
There are pre-filtered channels for most platforms.
Just join the ones you are interested in:
- Amazon Prime ([games](https://t.me/free_amazon_games_ls) and [ingame loot](https://t.me/free_amazon_loot_ls))
- [Epic Games](https://t.me/free_epic_games_ls)
- [Gog games](https://t.me/free_gog_games_ls)
- [Humble games](https://t.me/free_humble_games_ls)
- [itch.io games](https://t.me/free_itch_games_ls)
- Steam ([games](https://t.me/free_steam_games_ls) and [ingame loot](https://t.me/+ENZ8x3Ec1dwxMThi))
- [Apple iPhone games](https://t.me/+SOF7VjGTGPw1OTAy)
- [Google Android games](https://t.me/+Vma9PScf1uY3M2Uy)
If you miss any, please let me know and I'll add them.
### Discord
If you're a Discord type of person, you can join the official LootScraper server: to get notifications about free games (and chat, if that's your thing):
[](https://discord.gg/DbNh8wBZdf)
The server has dedicated channels for each platform (e.g., `#steam`, `#epic`, `#steam-loot` etc.).
#### Run Your Own Discord Bot
If you're running your own instance of LootScraper, you can enable the native Discord bot to post offers directly to your server.
See the [developer README](README_DEV.md#discord-bot) for setup instructions.
##### Alternative: RSS to Discord
If you just want to follow the public RSS feeds in Discord without running your own instance, you can use the free [MonitoRSS](https://monitorss.xyz/) bot.
I suggest the following settings:
- **Feed URL**: Use the RSS feed links above
- **Content**:
```md
**{{title}}**
{{description}}
```
- **Button**: Label: `Claim`, URL: `{{link}}`
- **Embed**: Just select `Image URL` with the `{{extracted::atom:content__#::image1}}` variable
