Integrations

Settings that connect 5Stack to outside services and tune cross-cutting behavior. Each lives under Settings → Application.

Discord

Discord Notifications configures where staff notices are posted. (For the Discord bot itself, see Discord Bot.)

• Defaults: Discord Invite Link, Default Discord Webhook and Default Role ID. Every section below falls back to these when it has no webhook or role of its own.
• Match Status Notifications: a webhook and role ID for match status changes, and a toggle per status. Tournaments can turn their own Discord match notifications off.
• CS2 Build Notifications: a webhook and role ID for CS2 update, gamedata validation and map-asset build notices.
• Server Notifications: Disk Warning Threshold (%) and Disk Critical Threshold (%) for game server nodes. 0 disables either.

Role ID fields take several IDs separated by commas.

Only staff notices reach Discord

Discord is for the people running the instance. Besides the match status and CS2 build notices above, only staff notifications are posted there: server, node and RCON status, storage scans, Elo recomputes, search reindexes, utility drift scans, name-change requests, match assistance calls and abandons. Player notifications (invites, chat, awards, sanctions, warnings) never are.

Twitch

Twitch lets players link their Twitch channel, so their stream shows on their profile, in the Players list and as a POV on the matches they play (see Linked accounts). Players link by signing in with Twitch, which proves the channel is theirs.

1. Register an application in the Twitch developer console (Open the Twitch developer console).
2. Add the OAuth Redirect URL shown on the page, exactly as shown, to the application's OAuth Redirect URLs. It is https://<your web domain>/auth/twitch/callback.
3. Enter the application's Client ID and Client Secret, and save.

Everything Twitch stays hidden until both are set. A saved secret can't be shown again; enter a new one to replace it, or Remove Secret to turn Twitch off. The keys are read on every call, so changing them needs no restart.

5Stack checks every linked channel once a minute. Only a stream in the Counter-Strike category counts as live, and a channel Twitch hasn't confirmed as live in the last 10 minutes stops showing as live.

External matches

Match Imports brings Valve and FACEIT matches into 5Stack:

• Allow CS2 match imports: lets players link their Steam match-history auth code and upload demos. Off hides the form and blocks external imports.
• Import Faceit Matches: off by default. Polls linked players' FACEIT history (the last 30 days) using your FACEIT API key.
• Test Faceit Integration: checks the key works and whether it can download demos.

See FACEIT Integration for the full setup. Players link their own Steam match history from their personal settings.

Steam Presence

A pool of Steam bot accounts that makes match imports instant and shows friends' live CS2 status. See Steam Presence.

Chat

Chat Settings controls how long chat is kept, and what players can attach.

Room Retention is how long, in seconds, messages are kept in each kind of room. 0 drops them immediately.

Room	Default
Match chat	1 hour
Match team chat	1 hour
Matchmaking lobby chat	1 hour
Draft lobby chat	1 hour
Tournament chat	7 days
Organizer chat	90 days
Team chat	30 days

Each field spells its value out underneath as a duration, such as "90 days". Organizer chat used to default to 24 hours; an instance still on that default moved to 90 days, and a value you chose yourself was kept.

• Direct Messages: Keep direct messages for (days). Default 365; 0 keeps them forever.
• Attachments: Largest file (MB), default 100, and Uploads per player per day (MB), default 1024, counted over the last 24 hours including files that were removed.
• GIFs: a GIPHY API key turns on GIFs in chat (Get a key from GIPHY). Searches go through the API, so the key never reaches a browser. GIPHY searches per hour is shared by every player and defaults to 90; GIPHY's beta keys allow 100 an hour.

See Chat for how players use these.

Web Push

Web Push shows whether push notifications are working: its state, the last confirmed delivery, how many devices and players are subscribed, and which platforms they're on. Nothing to sign up for and no third-party provider; see Web Push Notifications.

Telemetry & analytics

Telemetry holds:

• Telemetry: anonymous usage reporting that helps 5Stack development.
• Google Tag Manager Code: drop in a GTM-XXXXXXX code for your own analytics. (If GTM is blocked behind Cloudflare, see Google Tag Manager + Cloudflare.)
