Automations · Actions

Choose what an automation does

Configure flow actions. Each action obeys its feature switches and Twitch limits.

Send chat and play overlay cues

Actions can send chat.
Actions can play overlay cues.
Actions can complete Channel Points redemptions.
Actions can run Native Twitch operations.
Send chat message sends up to 500 characters in the channel. The message can include automation variables from the source event.
Play overlay cue plays a saved Cue through a chosen Cue player Browser Source.
For playback, enable the cue.
For playback, enable Cue player.
For playback, enable the Overlays feature.
A replaced or deleted cue or Cue player makes the action fail. BlokeBot does not play a substitute.

Fulfil redemption marks the source Channel Points redemption as fulfilled. Cancel redemption cancels it so Twitch refunds the viewer's points.
Both actions apply only to the redemption that started the flow. The redemption must have the Unfulfilled state and use a reward that BlokeBot manages.
Prefer the redemption source's completion policy for whole-flow outcomes. Use these actions when a flow must settle the redemption at a specific step.

Nine actions run the same operations as the Native Twitch pages.

Native Twitch actions use the channel connection.
They use each operation's switch.
They use each operation's requirements.
Send shoutout targets the broadcaster who triggered the flow, such as a broadcaster from a raid. The source event must carry a viewer or broadcaster.
Start poll accepts a question of up to 60 characters.
For Start poll, add 2–5 choices of up to 25 characters.
Set a 15-second to 30-minute duration.
Set an optional Channel Points cost per extra vote.
If another poll is active, Start poll fails.
End poll finishes the channel's active poll immediately. An automation never ends a poll that started outside BlokeBot.
Create clip captures the live stream immediately or after Twitch's broadcast delay. Create stream marker adds a marker with a description of up to 140 characters.
Start prediction accepts a question of up to 45 characters.
For Start prediction, add 2–10 outcomes of up to 25 characters.
Set a 30-second to 30-minute window.
If another Prediction is active, Start prediction fails.
Lock prediction stops entries.
Cancel prediction refunds all viewer Channel Points.
Resolve prediction uses an outcome identifier from a variable or expression.

A failed action follows its step's failure choice: stop the flow or continue past the failure.
BlokeBot does not retry an action with an uncertain Twitch outcome. It never duplicates an action to force an answer.
The applicable feature page shows the Twitch result.
It shows shoutouts.
It shows the active poll or Prediction.
It shows clips.
It shows redemptions.
If an action continues to fail, fix the named requirement.
The named requirement can be a connection.
The named requirement can be a permission.
The named requirement can be a feature switch.
Then run the flow again. Alerts collects problems that need attention.
