Twitch bot for commands, timers and donations

What a Twitch bot adds to your stream

A bot gives consistent answers to questions that come up while you stream. Create commands for your schedule, social links or donation page. Timers share a message at a configured interval, saving moderators from repeatedly pasting the same link. Match the messages to your stream: a short answer with one useful link is easier to use than a long list of promotions.

Connect your channel before adding features

Open Plugins and DonoLink Bot in your dashboard. Connect the channel you actually broadcast on and check the Twitch account selected in the consent window. The bot channel permission is separate from stream event and overlay connections. Twitch has specific permissions for chatbots and moderation. Enable the functions you need, then check the connection status rather than assuming consent alone completed setup.

Keep donations and chat clear

Use your own donation command to direct viewers to your DonoLink page. The chat reply provides directions; payment happens on the donation page. Add donation alerts to OBS as a browser source. If you only need a chatbot, start with commands. If you also want donations, configure payment readiness and create a donation alert variant next.

One dashboard, three different jobs

DonoLink combines a donation page, OBS overlays and a chatbot. Your donation link is for viewers who want to support you financially. A bot command answers a chat message, for example with that public link. An overlay displays an alert in your broadcast. You configure these parts separately but manage them from the same account. A working chat command therefore does not establish that payments or OBS audio are already working.

Start with a small setup

Begin with a donation command, one information command and one timer. Choose who can use each command and set a cooldown to limit repetition. Have timers share useful information such as your schedule or donation link; avoid several messages appearing together. Music requests need their own player and settings. Add them after testing the basics, and use music for which you have the necessary rights.

What to check before each livestream

Test with a real chat message in the connected channel. Check the reply, link and repeated use. Separately make a short OBS recording with a test alert and listen to its audio. To verify the full payment journey, a completed donation must appear in both the dashboard and overlay. If something fails, check the channel connection, bot status and permissions first. Change one setting at a time so you can identify which step fixes the issue.

Donations in your country

For creators in Spain, use donolink.es. Bizum appears only when enabled for the creator account; it is not guaranteed in every checkout. The standard DonoLink fee is 3.5%; Stripe fees are separate and depend on the selected method. Check Spanish pricing and your own checkout before promising a method in chat.
