# Nightbot commands and their Bloopbot equivalents

Every built-in Nightbot command, from !commands and !permit to !songs and !winner, with what it does and how to do the same in Bloopbot.

Updated 7 October 2026

## The short answer

Nightbot's built-in commands are `!commands`, `!filters`, `!permit`, `!game`, `!title`, `!tags`, `!marker`, `!commercial`, `!poll`, `!regulars`, `!songs`, `!winner` and `!nightbot`. Your own commands are the ones you made with `!commands add`. Bloopbot can bring your own commands over for you, and it has an equivalent for nearly every built-in one, either built in or as a ready-made flow you switch on. The table below lists each one.

To move your own commands, use the importer: it reads your public Nightbot command list and turns each command into a flow, with its userlevel and cooldown, and you don't sign in to Nightbot. [Coming from Nightbot](https://bloopbot.com/docs/coming-from-nightbot#import) walks through it.

## Nightbot's built-in commands in Bloopbot

| Nightbot command | What it does in Nightbot | In Bloopbot |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `!commands` | Links to your channel's command list | `!commands` replies with your public **Commands** page, from the **Commands link** flow in the **Starter** pack ([point viewers at your Commands page](https://bloopbot.com/docs/first-command#commands-link)) |
| `!commands add`, `edit`, `delete` | Makes, changes or removes a command from chat | You make and change commands on **Flows**, in a form or on the canvas ([create your first chat command](https://bloopbot.com/docs/first-command)). There is no chat command for it |
| `!filters` | Manages the spam filters | Built in for moderators: `!filters`, `!filters enable links`, `!filters disable caps` ([what moderators can do from chat](https://bloopbot.com/docs/editors#moderators)) |
| `!permit` | Lets a viewer post a link for a short time | Built in for moderators: `!permit username`, 60 seconds unless you change it on **Moderation** |
| `!game`, `!title` | Shows or changes your category or title | `!game` and `!title` in the **Mod commands** pack ([add a helper flow](https://bloopbot.com/docs/moderation#helpers)) |
| `!tags` | Shows your stream tags | No equivalent yet. Change tags on Twitch |
| `!marker` | Drops a stream marker | A command flow with a **Stream marker** step, such as a moderators-only `!mark` ([mark a moment for your highlights](https://bloopbot.com/docs/polls-and-predictions#markers)) |
| `!commercial` | Runs an ad | A command flow with a **Run a commercial** step. It needs Twitch Affiliate or Partner ([check which Twitch features your channel can use](https://bloopbot.com/docs/flow-basics#twitch-affiliate)) |
| `!poll` | Makes a Strawpoll | A command flow with a **Run a Twitch poll** step, which runs a real Twitch poll ([start a poll or prediction from a flow](https://bloopbot.com/docs/polls-and-predictions#start)) |
| `!regulars add`, `delete` | Manages your Regulars list | `!regulars add name`, `!regulars remove name` and `!regulars`, three flows for moderators ([recognise regular viewers](https://bloopbot.com/docs/loyalty-and-regulars)) |
| `!songs` (`!songs request` and the rest) | YouTube and SoundCloud song requests | `!sr`, `!song` and `!srstatus` from the **Song requests** pack, playing through your own Spotify Premium account ([take Spotify song requests](https://bloopbot.com/docs/song-requests)) |
| `!winner` | Picks a random chatter | A command flow with a **Pick at random** step set to **Someone in chat**, or a full [giveaway](https://bloopbot.com/docs/giveaways) with a keyword to enter |
| `!nightbot join`, `part` | Brings the bot into your chat or out of it | Nothing to type: the bot joins when you connect your channel. Make it a moderator so it can act ([make the bot a moderator](https://bloopbot.com/docs/moderate-without-mods#bot-mod)) |

## Your own commands and their variables

A command you made with `!commands add !name reply` becomes a flow: a **Chat command** trigger, a check for its userlevel or cooldown where it had one, and a **Chat message** with the reply. `$(user)`, `$(touser)`, `$(query)` and `$(1)` to `$(9)` mean the same in Bloopbot, and the importer rewrites most of the rest, such as `$(count)` and `$(twitch …)` lookups, into their Bloopbot form. [Variables](https://bloopbot.com/docs/coming-from-nightbot#variables-map) lists every one, including the few with no equivalent, such as `$(eval)` and `$(weather)`.

## What works differently

- **Commands live on a page, not in chat.** You build and edit them on **Flows**, where each one can do more than reply: add a check, keep a count, show an alert or start a poll.
- **Moderators still run the stream from chat.** `!permit`, `!filters`, `!blacklist` and `!whitelist` are built in for moderators, and packs add the rest.
- **It runs in the cloud.** Like Nightbot, there is nothing to install, and your commands keep answering when your PC is off.
- **Only one bot should answer.** Once a Bloopbot flow does a command's job, switch that command off in Nightbot, so chat doesn't get two replies ([turn off the old bot](https://bloopbot.com/docs/coming-from-nightbot#switch-off)).

## Troubleshooting

- **A command gets two replies.** Nightbot is still answering it. Switch the command off in Nightbot's dashboard.
- **A moderator command does nothing.** Check the person has the moderator badge in your chat, and that the bot is a moderator too.
- **The bot doesn't answer at all.** Check the flow is switched on. [Troubleshooting](https://bloopbot.com/docs/troubleshooting) covers commands that stay silent.
