Currently, avatars receiving weekly stipends as part of Second Life Premium or Premium Plus memberships do not receive any notifications or system messages when these L$ deposits occur. This presents a challenge for users and scripted bots that rely on transaction notifications or listeners to track and respond to incoming funds.
Use Case:
At SmartBots, we provide bot services that help users manage avatars, track transactions, and perform automated tasks based on L$ deposits. Many of our users have asked for the ability to detect when a stipend is received by an avatar. However, since there is no event trigger, message, or transaction notification for these stipend payments, bots and automated systems are effectively blind to them.
This impacts:
Accurate financial logging and visibility
Triggering user-defined automated behaviors (e.g., announcements, logging, reactions)
Customer support debugging when tracking deposit history
Building reliable in-world systems that depend on timely detection of all L$ inputs
Proposed Solution:
We are requesting the implementation of any of the following (in order of preference):
A notification event (similar to standard L$ transactions) that is sent to the avatar upon stipend deposit.
An LSL-accessible event or updated balance notification that bots and scripts can listen for.
Webhook support or API endpoint that allows us to fetch or receive stipend transaction data with timestamp.
A transaction log entry (visible in the viewer or via API) that clearly marks the stipend arrival with a distinct type.
Impact:
Adding notification support for stipends would improve transparency, enable a smoother user experience, and allow for broader functionality in user and bot systems. It would also reduce support load by helping both Linden Lab and third-party providers verify fund arrival more easily.
Thank you for considering this request — we’re happy to provide additional use cases or technical details if needed.
