Shoutout
Send a native Twitch shoutout for the triggering user. Requires an event with a {user}.
action.shoutout · 2.8.0
Requirements and availability
Twitch event, connected broadcaster and shoutout permissions/cooldown eligibility.
Picker contexts: automation, command, pad.
Behavior
Native Twitch shoutout only; non-Twitch origin fails. Literal username_override takes precedence over trigger user; no target does nothing. This is separate from generated introductions.
Configure in the app
Open: Do → Advanced Actions (commands only) → Add action
Steps
- Choose action category Stream Platform Commands, select Shoutout, and click Add action.
- Expand the action card. Configure the Fields below; check Editor defaults for your context and any operation-dependent fields.
- Choose resource values from real app pickers. Set output Platform separately from the trigger Where setting when the action offers it.
- Use Move action up / Move action down to position this action, then save the containing command, automation, timer or SheevPad button.
Limitations
- Native shoutouts are a Twitch-only API action.
- Picker availability does not supply missing event variables. Check prerequisites and originating provider.
- An action return value is not automatically a sequence variable. Only documented producers create template outputs.
Fields
| Field | Input / options | Defaults / limits | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
Username (blank = trigger user)username_override | text | Editor defaults: {"automation":null,"timer":null,"command":null,"pad":null} | Literal value / selected resource |
