Kick (Bot)
Published 31 Jul 2026
Open Platforms in TipLinkThis is a second, separate Kick connection. The normal Kick account lets TipLink receive events. The Kick Bot account lets TipLink write back, which means:
- Posting chat messages
- Changing your stream title, category and tags
You need both if you want events and replies.
Step 1: Create a Kick Developer App
-
Go to kick.com/settings/developer and sign in.
-
Create a new app.
-
Set the Redirect URI to exactly:
http://localhost:6969/kick-callback/botThis has to match character for character.
-
Save the app.
-
Keep the page open. You need the Client ID and the Client Secret.
If you want your messages to appear with Kick's bot styling, register the app under the Chatbot category on that same page. This is optional. Skip it unless you specifically want the bot label, because the "Send as Bot" option fails without it.
Treat it like a password. Do not share it or paste it anywhere public.
Step 2: Add the Bot Account in TipLink
- Open TipLink and go to the Platforms page.
- Click Kick (Bot). It is under the Chat Bots group.
- Paste in your Client ID and Client Secret.
- Click Create Account.
- A browser window opens asking you to authorise the app. Approve it.
- The window closes and the bot account appears in the list.
Step 3: Connect
On the Home or Platforms page, click Connect next to your Kick (Bot) account.
What You Can Do With It
Once connected, two actions become available when building an alert:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Kick: Send Chat Message (Bot) | Post a message into your Kick chat. |
| Kick: Update Stream Info | Change your stream title, category or tags. |
See Kick Actions for how to configure them.
The bot account produces no events of its own. To receive follows, subs and chat from your channel, set up the normal Kick account as well.
Which Account Should Send the Messages?
You have two choices when creating the developer app:
- Use your own Kick account. Messages appear as you. Simplest option.
- Use a separate bot account. Messages appear as your bot. Make the app while logged into the bot account, and give it moderator permissions in your channel.
Troubleshooting
The browser says the redirect URI is invalid
The Redirect URI on your Kick app does not match. It must be exactly http://localhost:6969/kick-callback/bot, with no trailing slash.
Authorisation opens but nothing happens after approving
Something else on your PC may be using port 6969. Close other streaming tools and try again.
Messages fail with a server error
If Send as Bot is turned on in the action, your app must be registered under the Chatbot category at kick.com/settings/developer. Turn the toggle off if you have not done that.
It stopped working after a while
Access tokens expire and are refreshed automatically, but a revoked or deleted app breaks that. Check the app still exists on your Kick developer page, then reconnect.
