Tutorial: Creating a !remind Command for Your Mods with Mixitup Bot

Do you often find yourself forgetting important things during your Twitch streams? A handy solution is to create a !remind command that your moderators can use to help you remember important tasks or announcements. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up this command using Mixitup Bot and integrating Discord for seamless communication.

Prerequisites:

• Make sure you have Mixitup Bot installed, set up, and configured for your Twitch channel.
• Discord integration is required for this tutorial. If you haven’t set it up yet, don’t worry; we’ll guide you through it.

Step 1: Integrating Discord into Mixitup

1. Open Mixitup Bot on your computer.
2. In the Mixitup Bot interface, click the “Menu” button located in the upper-left corner.
3. From the menu, find and click on “Services.”
4. Next, locate and click on “Discord Login.”
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize MixitUp Bot to connect with your Discord account.

Step 2: Creating a Mod-Only Messages Channel in Discord

To ensure that the reminder messages from your Twitch mods are organized and only accessible to moderators, you should create a dedicated channel in your Discord server. You can name it something like “To Do List.”

Step 3: Setting Up the !remind Command

1. Open Mixitup Bot on your computer.
2. Click the “Menu” button in the upper-left corner of the Mixitup Bot interface.
3. In the menu, click on “Commands.”
4. Create a new command by clicking “New Command.”
5. Name the command “remind.”
6. Name the Chat Trigger “Remind.”
7. In the “Action” dropdown, select “Discord” and click the plus icon to add it.
8. For the action, select “Send Message.”
9. For the “Channel,” choose the Discord channel you set up earlier (e.g., “To Do List”).
10. In the “Chat Message” field, you can customize the message, but it should include the following special identifiers:

Hey Future NerdTitan, $username is reminding you to do the following: $allargs

• $username will be replaced with the username of the person sending the reminder.
• $allargs will be replaced with the reminder message provided by the user.

Step 4: Making it a Mod-Only Command

1. Under “Usage Requirements,” you’ll see a person icon with a key (user role). Click on it.
2. Click the “Advanced Toggle” to reveal more options.
3. Add the roles that you want to be able to use this command. Typically, you should include “Moderator,” “Twitch Channel Editor,” and “Streamer” roles.
4. After adding the roles, click “Save” to apply the changes.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully set up a !remind command for your mods to use during your Twitch streams. Now, when your moderators need to remind you about something important, they can use this command, and the reminder message will be sent to your dedicated Discord channel. This will help you stay on top of tasks and announcements, making your streams even more organized and enjoyable.
