The Twitch Channel Points feature allows you to create commands that can be triggered automatically when specific Twitch Channel Point Rewards are redeemed in your Twitch channel. There are some important caveats to know about this feature:
-
Only CUSTOM Channel Point Rewards can be setup for this system. Any of the default ones available for all channels do not get sent to us and can not trigger a command
-
Commands assigned to a reward will trigger as soon as the reward is purchased by a user, NOT when it has been marked as complete by you or a moderator. Because of this, if you want to ensure all reward purchases are approved before it triggers a command, we do NOT suggest using this system to handle your Channel Point Rewards.
When working with Twitch Channel Point rewards, you have two options you can leverage:
-
If the Channel Point Reward already exists on Twitch or you want to create it directly on Twitch's website first, you would use the "Add Command To Existing Reward" option. This will create a Mix It Up command that will be run when that Channel Point Reward is redeemed.
-
If you have not created the Channel Point Reward yet and you want to allow Mix It Up to be able to control the Channel Point Reward with the Twitch action, then you'll need to use the "Create New Channel Point Reward" option. This will create a brand new Channel Point Reward with the name you specify and then create a Mix It Up command that will be run when that Channel Point Reward is redeemed. Details of your Channel Point Reward beyond the name of it can be edited on Twitch's website by clicking on the "Channel Point Editor" button.
Twitch Channel Point commands provide the following additional Special Identifiers:
- $rewardname = The name of the reward
- $rewardcost = The cost of the reward
- $message = An optional message that the user can supply when the reward is redeemed
Twitch Channel Point Rewards that have been created through Mix It Up with the "Create New Channel Point Reward" option can be dynamically updated via the Twitch action to do things such as enable/disabling rewards & updating reward information.
