Three schedule modes
A regular timer posts every N minutes, counted from the last send or from the stream start. Cron covers complex schedules such as “Fridays at 8 PM”. “Once” sends the text on a chosen date and turns the timer off.
RobinSystem / Twitch bot
Scheduled messages for Twitch chat
The bot reminds chat about your Telegram, rules or a fundraiser: every N minutes, on a schedule or once on a chosen date. A message goes out only when your conditions are met.
Timer modes
| Mode | When it sends | Condition not met |
|---|---|---|
| Every N minutes | From the last send, or from the stream start | Waits and sends as soon as it is met |
| Cron | By your own expression, e.g. */30 * * * * | Skips that run |
| Once | On a chosen date and time, then turns off | Skips the send |
Timer example
Every 30 minutes, only while live, 5+ chatters: Stream announcements and giveaways are in our Telegram 👉 t.me/…
Conditions and windows
Send only while live, above a minimum of chatters or viewers, or in a chosen category. Regular timers can also be limited to days and hours. If a condition is not met, a regular timer waits and sends as soon as it is, while cron and one-off timers skip that run. The dashboard shows what goes out in the next hour.
Frequently asked questions
Can I send an announcement instead of a plain message?
Yes: a plain message, /me or a Twitch announcement in one of five colors. Announcements need the moderator:manage:announcements scope; if they fail, sign in with Twitch again.
Will the bot post into an empty chat?
Not if you enable “only while live” and set a minimum of chatters or viewers. Conditions are checked at send time.
How many timers can I create?
The limit depends on your plan. See the dashboard and pricing page for current numbers.
Why was a message not sent?
Check that the bot is in the channel, the timer is enabled and its conditions are met. A one-off timer turns itself off after sending.
