Hello, So I have been trying to make my irc bot host other streamers. But I keep receiving this error telling me that the command HOSTTARGET doesn’t exist. What I am sending: REQ :twitch.tv/commands <:tmi.twitch.tv HOSTTARGET #mychannel targetchannel And what I receive: :tmi.twitch.tv 421 mybo…

Thank you, the use of the dot helped. Unfortunately, another error appeared, this time: :tmi.twitch.tv NOTICE #mybotname :You don’t have permission to perform that action. I try to execute the command on my channel, where the bot is registered.

The bot needs to be an editor on your channel to run that command

How can I give this permission? It’s weird because the / clear command works fine.

clear is a normal moderator permission. Editor rights can be granted via the dashboard for the channel you wish to perform outbound hosting upon

Thanks! I generate new token with editor scope, it works like a charm.

:tmi.twitch.tv 42 HOSTTARGET :Unknown command

The Command for bots are “.” not “/” so try sending:

PRIVMSG #mychannel : .host targetchannel

Dot-commands vs. slash-commands
