Timers
Messages the bot posts on its own: every few minutes, every few chat messages, or both, and by default only while you are live.
A timer is a message Trigglow Bot posts by itself on the platforms you pick: Kick, Twitch or YouTube. Trigger sets when it posts: Only time posts on the interval however quiet the chat is, Only messages posts each time enough chat messages arrive (at most once a minute), and Messages + time waits for both.
Live only is on for new timers. The timer posts only on the platforms where you are live, and each stream starts from zero, so your timers don't all fire the moment you go live. Timers post with your bot identity, the same as commands.
Messages can use channel variables such as
$(uptime), $(title), $(category), $(random …) or $(countdown …), plus emotes. Viewer variables like $(sender) are not available, because no viewer triggered the timer. The editor previews the message for each platform and warns you when it is too long for one of them.Each timer shows the result of its last post on each platform. If a platform keeps failing (not connected, or the bot is not a moderator), the timer waits longer before it tries again. Reconnecting the platform resets that wait.
Steps
- 1Open Trigglow Bot → Timers → My timers and click New timer.
- 2Write the message and check the preview for each platform.
- 3Choose the trigger and set the interval, the number of chat messages, or both.
- 4Pick the platforms and keep Live only on unless the timer should also post while you are offline.
- 5Save and leave the timer switched on.
Tip
Import (owner only) brings timers from other bots. Imported timers arrive switched off so you can review them first.
Note
If your bot identity posts as your own account, timers can't use global variables such as
$(globalvar …), so viewers can never make your account post their text.Tip
Search and filter the list, then select several timers to switch them on or off at once.
