Episode alerts

Miru can DM you when a new episode of something on your Watching or Rewatching list airs. Episode alerts are part of Miru+.

Turning them on

1. Link AniList if you haven’t already.

2. Make sure you share a server with Miru and have Allow direct messages from server members turned on for it.

3. Run /alerts and press Alerts: on. Miru sends a test DM to check it can reach you.

/alerts also shows the next episodes coming up, and lets you choose when alerts arrive: a delay, quiet hours or a daily digest.

The alert DM

Each DM says New episode out now (or Final episode out now) and lets you know if you’re behind. It has three buttons:

• Mark episode N watched: logs it on AniList.
• Mute this show: stops alerts for that show. Unmute from /alerts.
• Watch on <site>: the first legal stream AniList knows of.

These buttons keep working even after Miru restarts.

Timing

Miru checks for new episodes every 5 minutes, so an alert can arrive up to about 5 minutes after the episode airs. If Miru was offline for a while, it catches up on episodes from up to 3 hours back.

Private entries

Entries marked private on AniList don’t trigger alerts.

Not getting alerts?

• Run /alerts to check alerts are on, and that your Miru+ is active.
• Check you share a server with Miru and allow DMs from its members.
• Check the show is on Watching or Rewatching, not Planning or Paused.
• Check the entry isn’t private on AniList.
• Check you haven’t muted the show.
