Create a chat reply and command

Replies can include viewer, channel and argument placeholders. The Message library keeps reusable text separate from command structure.

  1. Open Custom commands, then Settings, and stay on the Commands tab.
  2. Add a command, enter its command words without the exclamation mark and choose who may use it.
  3. Open Message library, add a reply with at least one message, then return to Commands.
  4. Choose the saved reply under What happens and select Save changes.

Add a counter, scheduled message or Twitch announcement

  • Counters let a command change and report a saved number.
  • Scheduled chat sends a saved reply on a timer, after chat activity or once a week.
  • Twitch announcement uses Twitch's coloured announcement surface. The bot must currently be a moderator and authorised for announcements.
  • If a scheduled send cannot happen, open its Alerts section and follow the displayed next action.
