Goal: Increment

Published 31 Jul 2026

Add progress to one of your goals when an alert fires. This is what connects a goal to real events, so a donation bar actually fills up.

What You Need

• At least one goal created on the Goals page.

Quick Start

1. Create or edit an alert, for example one that fires on any tip.
2. Add the Goal: Increment action. It is under Users & Goals.
3. Choose the Goal.
4. Set the Amount.
5. Save and test.

Configuration Options

Setting	Description	Default
Goal	Which goal to add progress to. The list comes from your Goals page.	-
Amount	How much to add. Accepts placeholders, so {{ value }} adds the exact tip amount.	1

Common Uses

Donation bar

• Trigger: any tip, on every platform you want counted
• Amount: {{ value }}

Add the same action to several alerts if you want tips from Twitch, Fansly and Ko-fi all feeding one bar.

Subscriber count

• Trigger: Subscription
• Amount: 1

Gifted subs counted properly

• Trigger: User Gifted a Subscription
• Amount: {{ value }}

A single gift bomb of ten subs adds ten, not one.

Bits converted to money

• Trigger: Received a Cheer (Bits)
• Amount: {{ value | * 0.01 | toFixed:2 }}

100 bits becomes 1.00 on a currency goal. See Using Event Data in Actions for the maths syntax.

Going Over the Target

What happens past 100% is set on the goal itself, not here:

Mode	What it does
Exceed	Progress keeps climbing above the target.
Loop (Reset)	The goal resets each time it completes, and can complete several times from one increment.

A single large tip can therefore complete a looping goal more than once. TipLink caps how many completions one increment can fire, using Max Completions Per Increment in Settings. The default is 50.

See Goals for the full explanation.

Reacting to the Goal Filling Up

Adding progress can trigger another alert. Choose TipLink Goals as the platform, then either:

• Goal Completed - the goal reached its target.
• Goal Milestone Reached - the goal passed a percentage you choose.

This is how you celebrate at 50%, then again at 100%.

Troubleshooting

The bar did not move

Check the goal is set to Active on the Goals page. Inactive goals still accept progress but do not appear on your overlay.

It went up by 1 instead of the tip amount

The Amount field is still on its default. Change it to {{ value }}.

Progress is doubling

More than one alert is likely adding to the same goal for the same event. Check whether an alert has Always Trigger turned on.
