Timers

Timers post a chat message on a fixed interval while you're live. Use them for recurring announcements: discord links, schedule reminders, sponsor mentions.

Manage them on the Timers page (/timers).

Creating a timer

1. Click New timer.
2. Fill in:
   • Name — internal label so you can find the timer again.
   • Message — the chat message to post.
   • Interval (minutes) — how often the message fires.
   • Enabled — off by default; flip on when you want it to run.
3. Save.

How timers fire

• Timers only fire while your channel is live on Twitch.
• A timer fires at most once per its configured interval. If two timers happen to overlap, both fire — the bot does not throttle them.
• Disabling a timer stops it immediately. Enabling resumes it on the next interval tick.

Tips

• Stagger intervals. If you have multiple timers, give them different intervals (e.g. 12, 18, 25 minutes) to avoid bursts of bot messages.
• Keep the message short. Long timer messages every few minutes feel spammy.
• Use timers for slow info, commands for on-demand info. A !discord command and a Discord timer can coexist — the timer reminds passive viewers, the command serves active ones.
