Settings
The Settings page is where you manage TipLink's global preferences and system options. Access it by clicking the gear icon (⚙️) in the left sidebar.
Backup & Import
This section lets you export and import all of your TipLink data — alerts, platforms, settings, events, and overlays — as a single backup file.
See the full guide: Exporting & Importing Data →
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Export Full Backup | Saves all your TipLink data to a .json file |
| Import Full Backup | Replaces all your current data with a backup file |
Importing a backup replaces all existing data. Export first if you want to keep anything.
Webhook API Settings
TipLink includes a built-in webhook server that lets external apps (like Discord bots, Home Assistant, or custom scripts) send events into TipLink.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enable Webhook API Server | Turns the webhook server on or off. Must be enabled before any webhook platform will receive events. |
| Port | The network port the webhook server listens on. Default is 3821. Only change this if another app is already using that port. |
After enabling the Webhook API server, you still need to create a Webhook platform on the Platforms page. See Using Webhooks →.
App Preferences
General TipLink behaviour settings.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pause Event Queue | Temporarily stops all events from being processed. Events will still be received and stored, but no alerts will fire until you un-pause. Useful during testing. |
| Include Chat Messages in Activity | Chat messages are hidden from the Activity page by default. Enable this to show them. |
| Countdown History Limit | Sets the maximum number of history entries stored for countdown variable timers. Default is 500. |
Storage Management
This section shows you information about TipLink's local storage and provides tools to manage it.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Unlock Storage | Reveals a button to permanently delete all stored events. Use this to free up disk space if your event history is large. |
| Clear All Events | Permanently deletes all stored event history. This cannot be undone. |
Clearing events is permanent. If you want to keep a record, use Export Full Backup first (which includes event history).
License Information
The Settings page also displays your current license status, including:
- License type (Full License or Subscription)
- Device binding status
- Version information
Auto-saving
Most settings are saved automatically as you change them — there is no separate "Save" button for individual settings. A timestamp at the top of the page shows when changes were last saved.
