Custom Commands

This is the hosted copy of the GRiMbot technical manual. Use the table of contents to open any page in the manual.

Custom Commands

Open Media → Tools → Custom Commands. Organize GRiMbar can move the window.

A Custom Command is a broadcaster-defined chat trigger. When a Chat Message matches its rules, GRiMbot runs the configured Action Chain. Voice Commands are a separate list. Speech is not posted to Twitch and does not run Custom Commands. See Voice Recognition.

Before you start

  • Twitch Chat is connected in Connection Status.
  • Install plugins required by any action you will add.
  • Add Media Library clips before you select them in an action.

Create a command

  1. Click + New command.
  2. Enter the command text without a leading !. GRiMbOS shows the bang in the list.
  3. Open Edit.
  4. Set Match Mode, Cooldown, Access, and Run Actions.
  5. Add actions. Save each action, then save the command.
  6. Click Test while offline or with a test account.
  7. Confirm the Chat Message or overlay result.

Match Mode

Mode Match rule
Start The command text is the first word of the Chat Message.
Exact The whole Chat Message is only the command text.
Anywhere The command text appears anywhere, including inside a longer word. A command named win matches winning.

Test Anywhere on a short word before you use it live.

Settings

Setting Effect
Run Actions In order or All at once. Delay waits only when In order.
Cooldown Seconds everyone must wait after the command runs. 0 means no wait. Cooldown is not Delay.
Access Who may run it: everyone, a role, a Group, or named people. See Permissions.
Test Runs the chain without a Chat Message.
Copy URL Appears when the Streamer.bot plugin is installed. That address fires the command from Streamer.bot.

Custom Commands cannot nest another Custom Command. Button Box can run a Custom Command as one of its actions.
