Knowing how to moderate using the Chatbot is a must if you’re a moderator in a channel that uses StreamElements as their main chatbot.
It’s worth noting that the following guide applies to moderators that don’t necessarily have dashboard access. If you do have access as an editor, you can simply use the dashboard instead.
Another thing to note is that these commands need to have the correct permissions so if some of these don’t work, make sure that the streamer sets all relevant commands to the correct permission level so all moderators can use them.
Adding, updating or deleting commands
Editing commands can be done using the !cmd command.
To add a command: !cmd add <command name> <response>
To update a command: !cmd edit <command name> <new response>
To remove a command: !cmd del <command name>
There are some more advanced ways of editing commands, such as:
- !cmd show <command name>: Allows you to see the raw response of a command before variables are used
- !cmd options <command name> -<flag>: Allows you to change settings for an existing custom command
- !cmd alias basecommand - Shows the alias commands for !basecommand
- !cmd alias add basecommand aliascommand1 aliascommand2: Adds aliases !aliascommand1 and !aliascommand2 for command !basecommand
- !cmd alias remove basecommand aliascommand1: Removes alias command !aliascommand1 from command !basecommand
Valid flags for !cmd options include: -enable -disable -cd (number in seconds) -usercd (number in seconds) -cost (number) -level (number) -type (say, whisper or reply) -count (number)
Syntax example:
!cmd options twitter -usercd 60 -type reply -level 250: This will edit the command !twitter, setting a user cooldown of 60 seconds, response type to reply and needing a user level of 250 to be triggered
Editing stream title and stream category
You can change the stream title and stream category with two simple commands
To change the stream title: !settitle <new title>
To change the stream category: !setgame <new category name>
