Essentials
Essentials are pre-built commands and event responses for the most common stream interactions. They live in the Chat Bot tools inside Stream Studio so you can switch them on without building flows from scratch.
Event Responses
Raid Response
Welcome incoming raiders with a custom message when another channel raids yours.
Subscription Response
Thank new and returning subscribers automatically the moment they subscribe.
Bits Response
Acknowledge viewers who cheer with bits using a customisable thank you message.
Response Variants
Add up to three response variants per essential. The bot picks one at random so replies don't feel repetitive.
Cooldown
Set a per-essential cooldown in seconds to throttle how often each response fires.
Enable or Disable
Toggle each event response on or off without losing the configured message.
Command Responses
Shoutout
Respond with a shoutout for another channel when a viewer or moderator uses the shoutout command.
Uptime
Reply with how long the stream has been live.
Followage
Tell a viewer how long they have followed the channel.
Edit the Response
Update the message each command sends, add response variants, and tune the cooldown without touching the trigger.
Variables
{user}
The username of the viewer who triggered the event or command.
{raider}
The channel name of the raider. Use this in raid responses to mention the raiding channel.
{viewers}
The number of viewers brought in by a raid. Use in raid responses to acknowledge party size.
{bits}
The number of bits cheered. Use in bits responses to show the amount.
