The Twitch device controls a Twitch channel and reacts to its live channel events, so your automations can respond to what happens on stream.

​
Connection

Each device controls one broadcaster channel and authenticates with a Twitch application you register in the Twitch Developer Console. Provide the broadcaster login (your channel name), the application’s client ID and client secret, and a user refresh token for the channel. See the Twitch developer documentation for creating an application and obtaining a token.

​
Commands

The Twitch device supports channel, chat, and engagement operations, including:
  • Update the stream title or category
  • Create a stream marker, run a commercial break, or capture a clip
  • Start or cancel a raid to another channel
  • Post a chat message or a highlighted announcement
  • Create and end a poll
  • Create, lock, resolve, or cancel a prediction

​
State and triggers

The device reports its connection state and raises triggers your rules can react to, including:
  • The channel going live or offline
  • The title or category changing
  • A new follower or subscriber, and gifted subscriptions
  • A viewer cheering with Bits
  • Another channel raiding yours
  • A channel-point reward being redeemed
Trigger data such as the viewer name, subscription tier, Bits amount, and reward title is available for use in rule actions.
