!filesay

Twitch YouTube Trovo Kick

Overview​

The !filesay command allows streamers and moderators to execute multiple commands or messages stored in a text file hosted at a public URL. Each line in the text file is sent as a separate command/message to the chat. This is extremely useful for performing bulk actions, such as banning multiple users listed in a file.

Usage​

To execute the commands/messages from a file URL:

!filesay <url>

Important:

  • By default, only users with Super Moderator permission level or higher can use this command.
  • The URL must point to a raw text file (e.g., a Pastebin raw link, a GitHub raw file link).
  • Each line in the file will be executed as if typed directly into chat. Ensure the commands are valid (e.g., !ban username).
  • There might be rate limits on how many lines can be processed quickly.

Examples​

Example File (https://pastebin.com/raw/examplebans):

/ban BotUser1 Spamming
/ban TrollAccount2 Being disruptive
/timeout AnotherUser 600 Repeat offences

Using the command:

Parameters​

  • <url> (Required): The direct URL to a plain text file where each line contains a command or message to be sent.

Configuration​

  • No specific module needs to be enabled, but the command relies on the bot having the necessary permissions to execute the commands listed within the file (e.g., ban permissions).
  • The command's permission level can be adjusted under Chatbot -> Chat Commands -> Default Commands.
  • !nuke: Times out all users who recently chatted based on a specific phrase.
  • !nukeusername: Times out all users whose usernames match a pattern.
