Kick Actions
Published 31 Jul 2026
Two actions let TipLink write to Kick: posting a chat message, and changing your stream information.
Both need a Kick (Bot) account, which is separate from the Kick account you use to receive events. See Kick (Bot) for how to set one up.
Kick: Send Chat Message (Bot)
Post a message into your Kick chatroom.
Configuration Options
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Select Kick Bot Account | The bot account that sends the message. | - |
| Chat Message | What to post. Accepts placeholders. | - |
| Enable Random Messages | Send one of several variants instead of the same message every time. | Off |
| Random Message Variants | Your list of variants, each with a percentage chance. | - |
| Send as Bot | Post with Kick's "bot" message type instead of a normal user message. | Off |
Turning this on requires your Kick developer app to be registered under the Chatbot category at kick.com/settings/developer. Without that, every message fails.
Leave it off unless you have specifically set that up.
Example
Thanks for the {{ value }} gifted subs, {{ username }}! 🎉
Use the {{ }} button next to the field to browse what is available for your alert.
Kick: Update Stream Info
Change your Kick stream title, category or tags.
Configuration Options
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Select Kick Bot Account | The bot account used to make the change. |
| Stream Title | Your new title. Accepts placeholders. Leave empty to keep the current one. |
| Category ID | The numeric Kick category to switch to. Leave empty to keep the current one. |
| Custom Tags | Up to ten tags, separated by commas, for example pog, gaming, chill. Leave empty to keep the current ones. |
Every field is optional. Fill in only what you want to change.
Kick identifies categories by number rather than name. You will need to look the ID up through Kick's public API (GET /public/v2/categories).
If you only ever switch between a couple of games, look the IDs up once and keep them somewhere handy.
Common Uses
A title that shows your goal progress
- Trigger: TipLink Goals, Goal Milestone Reached
- Stream Title:
Charity stream! {{ goalTitle }} at {{ current }}/{{ target }}
Switching category when you change OBS scene
- Trigger: OBS Studio, Scene Changed
- Category ID: the ID for that game
A title viewers can change
- Trigger: Points Redemptions, filtered to a Set Title redemption
- Stream Title: a placeholder carrying whatever they typed
Be careful with that last one. Anything a viewer types goes straight onto your stream title.
Troubleshooting
Messages fail with a server error
If Send as Bot is on, your Kick developer app is probably not registered as a Chatbot. Turn the toggle off, or complete that registration.
Nothing sends at all
Check the Kick Bot account is connected on the Platforms page. Bot accounts use their own login, separate from your event-receiving Kick account.
The category did not change
Check you used the numeric ID and not the game's name.
Tags were ignored
Kick accepts a maximum of ten. Anything beyond that is dropped.
