Custom Commands

With the CustomCommands feature of StreamChat+, you can easily create a Listener that looks out for pre-defined chat messages in your Twitch chat and automatically sends responses to them. With that, you no longer have to worry about maintaining external stream bots.

Creation

To create a Custom Command, simply head to your StreamChat+ settings and click on Custom Commands.

From there, you can specify a prefix or manage your Custom Commands by clicking on the gear icon next to the setting (⚙️). If you choose to do the latter option and click on the icon, a new window will open up.

You can then either edit or enable/disable already existing commands or create an entirely new one. If you want to do so, simply click on Create Command.

You will be asked to enter a name, trigger(s), and a response (in which you can use variables). The name can be chosen by your liking - all you have to make sure is that you can identify the command by its name.

For the trigger, you can enter several keywords (separated by commas) that make the response be sent out. Choose whatever you like here, but keep in mind that if you have chosen a prefix it will have to stand in front of the keyword(s) for them to be sent out.

The response field holds the message that is sent out when a trigger is mentioned in the chat. Here, you can also use variables, that are later being replaced with data.

Prefix

A prefix can be used to improve clarity on how a command has to look for your viewers. It is not necessary to use a prefix, but if you do specify one, every command has to begin with it. For instance, if you use a # as a prefix, your commands will look like this: #command. Please note that you can only use single characters as prefixes. Multi-character prefixes are not possible.

Variables

You can use variables, which will be replaced with the data when the message is being sent out. You can find all the variables you can use by clicking on the ? icon in the top right corner when you are adding a Custom Command.
