Message Intervals

Recurring message intervals allow you to automatically send messages to your chat at specified time intervals. This guide will show you how to set them up and manage them effectively.

Initial Setup

Navigate to the Recurring Messages tab on your Dashboard. You’ll see a clean interface with the header “Messaging”, the drop down menu will include Commands, Recurring Messages and Reactive responses, click Recurring messages and you will see a green “Add New Recurring Interval” button for creating new intervals.

Creating Message Intervals

This setting determines how frequently your messages will appear in chat. Consider your stream’s pace and chat activity when setting this value. To create a new message interval:

  1. Click the green “Add New Recurring Interval” to open the configuration panel
  2. Enter the interval time in minutes
  3. Add an optional description for categorisation
  4. Save your settings

Interval Settings

The main settings for intervals include:

  • Interval Minutes: Determines message frequency in chat
  • Description (Optional): Helps organise your intervals (e.g., “Event promotions”, “Social Media Links”)

Managing Intervals

Each interval displays:

  • Interval duration (“Every X minutes do one of the following at random”)
  • Enable/disable toggle switch
  • Add message button (green plus)
  • Edit button (pencil icon)
  • Delete button (bin icon)

Best Practices

Consider these factors when setting up intervals:

  • Stream length and chat activity levels
  • Message overlap prevention
  • Special event timing
  • Regular testing and adjustment
