What you get
Your channel has a numbered quote book. Viewers type !quote for a random one or !quote 12 for a particular one, and your moderators add, fix and remove quotes from chat. You can also look after the whole book from your dashboard, and so can a moderator you have let in on Team.
Every quote keeps its number for good. Deleting quote #3 leaves a gap; the next one added is still the next new number, so !quote 12 always means the same line.
Before you start
- The Quotes flow, from the Starter pack. Starter is installed on a new channel and switched on in Set up your bot, so you already have it. Otherwise open Flows, press Marketplace, and add Quotes on its own or with the pack — Use templates and flow packs shows how.
- The bot as a moderator in your chat, as for any command: make your bot a moderator by copying the
/modcommand from the Make your bot a mod step of Set up your bot or the Not a mod bar and sending it in your Twitch chat.
Get help with your setup
Optional Help me uses your saved quote records. Reuse a real quote, review who can add or read quotes, and edit that same record deliberately. Help never invents a quote or sends one to chat as a test.
1. Add quotes from the dashboard
- Open Quotes in the sidebar, under Channel.
- Choose + Add Quote, type the line in Quote Text and choose Save Quote.
- The quote joins the list with its number, who added it and when. Use Search quotes... to find one, the pencil to edit its text, and the bin to delete it.
Editing keeps the quote’s number. Deleting asks you to confirm and cannot be undone.
2. Turn on the !quote command
If you have no !quote flow yet, the Quotes page shows a !quote command row at the top: There’s no !quote command yet, so chat can’t read or add quotes. Press Add, read the review on the right and press Add 1 flow — paused. Close the panel: the row now says the flow is paused, so press Switch on, and carry on from step 2 below. A paused !quote flow is named instead, with Open flow and Switch on.
- Open Flows and find Quotes. It has one trigger, the chat command
!quote, and one Quotes step set to Handle the !quote command. - Check Who can read on that step. Everyone lets any viewer pull up quotes; pick a higher level to keep reading to subscribers, VIPs or moderators.
- Press Save, then switch the flow on.
That one step answers every form of the command:
| In chat | What happens | Who can |
|---|---|---|
!quote | Posts a random quote, such as #2: That boss had way more health than it needed. | Whoever Who can read allows |
!quote 2 | Posts quote #2 | Whoever Who can read allows |
!quote add I am not lost, the map is wrong. | Saves it and replies Added quote #5. | Moderators and you |
!quote edit 5 I am not lost. The map is wrong. | Replaces the text and replies Updated quote #5. | Moderators and you |
!quote delete 5 | Removes it and replies Deleted quote #5. !quote remove 5 works too. | Moderators and you |
Adding, editing and deleting always need a moderator, whatever Who can read says. A quote added from chat is credited to the person who typed it.
To stop the chat command, pause the Quotes flow. Your saved quotes stay in the book.
Other ways to use quotes
The Quotes step has three more choices in Do, for flows that are not the !quote command:
- Say a random quote — for example, on a timer that posts one every so often. Post a recurring chat message shows the timer.
- Say one quote by number — set Number or text to the number, or to a token.
- Add a quote — set Number or text to what should be saved, such as
$(query)from a channel points reward that asks for text, so viewers can suggest quotes. Respond when a viewer redeems a reward covers rewards.
To have an AI read new quotes before they are saved, install Check a quote before saving it — Screen text before it is shown or saved walks through it.
Share your quote book
Your public page has a Quotes tab at bloopbot.com/c/<your channel>/quotes. It lists every quote, newest first, with its number and the date it was added. It doesn't show who added it.
- Viewers can search by words or by number, such as
bossor12. A number search shows that quote first, then any quote that mentions the number. - A long book shows 50 quotes per page, with Newer and Older to move between them.
- To send someone straight to one quote, search for its number and share that address:
…/quotes?q=12.
The tab appears once your book has at least one quote. Anyone can read it there, even if Who can read keeps !quote to some viewers in chat. To take the page down, open Public page, then Pages, switch Quotes off and click Save. Switch pages on or off shows how.
Check it works
- In the Quotes flow, press Test fire. The dry run plays a made-up
!quote sample arg, so the Run log shows the bot would reply Error: Quote not found. — expected, becausesampleis not a quote number. It proves the flow is wired; it posts nothing, and a test never adds, edits or deletes a real quote. - With the flow on, type
!quotein your Twitch chat. The bot posts a real quote from your book. - As a moderator, try
!quote addwith a test line, then!quote deletewith the number it gives back.
Troubleshooting
- Nothing happens on
!quote: the flow is paused, the viewer is below Who can read, or another flow also answers!quote. Check Flows → Needs attention. - Error: No quotes found.: the book is empty. Add one from the Quotes page or with
!quote add. - Error: Quote not found.: there is no quote with that number, often because it was deleted. Numbers are never reused.
- A line starting Usage: !quote: the command was missing its number or text.
- A viewer’s
!quote addis ignored: only moderators and you can add, edit or delete. - There's no Quotes tab on my public page: the book is empty, or Quotes is switched off on Public page → Pages.
