These let you know the following:

* **Sub Alerts:** When someone subs, or when someone's subscription renews.
* **Gifted Sub Alerts:** When someone has gifted subs.
* **Follow Alerts:** When someone has followed you.

### Testing Chat Alerts

The alerts can be tested through the `!subtest`, `!gifttest`, and `!followtest` commands respectively. If there is no response and your account was just created, give it a minute and try again.&#x20;
