When a TikTok Live's gift rate suddenly triples, something hot is happening — a PK battle win, a product drop going viral, or an FYP push bringing fresh viewers. Missing those moments means missing the context that matters. Here's how to set a velocity-based alert on any public TikTok Live.
- Step 01
Add the creator(s) to watch
Sign in to TikMonitor and paste the @handle(s). You can monitor yourself, competitors, or anyone public.
- Step 02
Create a 'Gift spike' alert
In the Alerts panel, new rule → pick 'Gift velocity spike' as the trigger. The default threshold is 3× baseline over 60 seconds, which catches most real spikes without false-positive noise.
- Step 03
Tune the sensitivity (optional)
Lower the threshold to 2× for more alerts (useful for small creators whose baseline is low). Raise to 4× if you only want the biggest moments. The window can be 30s, 60s, or 5min.
- Step 04
Choose delivery
In-app, email, or web push. Mobile push ships Q3 2026.
- Step 05
Jump to the replay (Pro)
When a spike fires post-live, use Pro's replay scrubber to jump straight to the spiking minute and see what was on screen, in chat, and in gifts when it happened.
What counts as 'baseline'?
TikMonitor computes a rolling baseline from the first 2 minutes of each live (or from the creator's recent session average, whichever is higher). A spike is measured against that.
Do spikes fire during PKs?
Often yes — PKs are naturally high-velocity gift moments, so you'll get alerts on most of them. You can scope the rule to exclude battle events if you only want spikes outside of battles.
Is velocity detection on Starter?
The basic gift-spike alert is on both Starter ($4.99/mo) and Pro. Pro adds user-comment alerts, keyword alerts, and the replay scrubber needed to investigate past spikes.
