Custom commands
Your own chat commands - with variables, random picks, response lists, permissions, and cooldowns.
Custom commands live on the Chat bot page under the Custom tab. Hit Add command and fill in:
- Command name - lowercase letters, numbers,
_and-. Don’t type the!, it’s added for you. - Response - what the bot says. Variables below.
- Aliases - extra triggers, comma or space separated.
- Permission - Everyone, Subscribers, or Moderators.
- Cooldown - 0 to 3600 seconds, with a scope of Global (one timer for the whole chat) or Per user.
Variables
| Variable | Becomes |
|---|---|
{user} |
The name of whoever ran the command |
{channel} |
Your channel name |
{pick:a|b|c} |
One of the options, at random |
{list:name} |

So Hey {user}, {pick:good luck|no refunds|welcome aboard}! works exactly how you’d hope.
Response lists
For long random pools, make a Response list (third tab): give it a name, paste one line per item, and reference it from any command with {list:name}. The bot picks a random line each time. One list can feed as many commands as you like.
Good to know
- Built-in commands win: if you name a custom command
!queue, the built-in answers. - Each command has an enable toggle, so you can bench one without deleting it.
- Responses that would start with
/or!are refused - no, viewers can’t make your bot run/ban.
