Commands you can see, step by step

In Fossabot a command is a line of text full of $(variables). In Bloopbot it’s a flow on a canvas, where each step hands its values to the next and you can open any of them to see what it does.

The flow canvas with a Chat command trigger connected to a Chat message action. Under the trigger, a tray of the values it hands on — Who typed it, After the command, Word 1, Word 2 and a +1 more button; under the Chat message, its Message field with a user badge, with a dashed data wire into it from Who typed it. The node palette is on the left, Test fire and Save are in the top bar, and the Tidy up button is in the canvas toolbar.

Fossabot and Bloopbot compared

Both run in the cloud and are free to start. They differ in how you build a command and in what sits around the chat bot. Song requests, hosted overlays and web requests may not be available on your channel yet. There’s no importer for Fossabot, so you rebuild the commands you use as flows.

The same command, as a flow

A !discord command anyone can use, with a moderator-only !setdiscord that changes the link:

On Variables, declare a text variable discord_url holding your invite link.
Chat command (discord) → Chat message reading Join us: $(var.discord_url).
Chat command (setdiscord) → Who can trigger (moderator) → Set a variable (discord_url, set to $(query)) → Chat message reading Discord link updated.

Every step is on the canvas, so a mod reading the flow later can see who’s allowed to change the link and what the bot says back. The guide maps the rest of Fossabot onto flows, including its moderation.

When Fossabot is the better fit

Fossabot’s moderation filters are deep, free and trusted by large channels, with a message-height filter and role-based mod teams Bloopbot doesn’t have. If moderation is what you need most, or you stream on YouTube, Fossabot does that well.
