Commands
Konflux understands 54 slash commands. The tables below list all of them; there are no others. Anything else that starts with a slash is refused and never sent to chat.
How commands work
Section titled “How commands work”Type / at the start of the message box. A list of every command appears, each with its arguments and a short note. Keep typing to narrow it, move with ↑ and ↓, and press Tab or Enter to take one. /help opens the same list.
- With only
/typed, nothing is highlighted, so Enter cannot pick a command by accident. Once you have typed a command in full, Enter runs exactly what you typed. - A command is never sent to chat. If Konflux does not know it, you see for example “There is no /tiemout — nothing was sent.” If something is missing, you see what, for example “/timeout needs who to time out.” In both cases your text stays in the box so you can fix it.
- Spaces before the slash make no difference.
- To send a message that starts with a slash, begin it with two:
//shrugsends “/shrug”.
- A name works with or without
@, and capitals do not matter. - Konflux finds the person in that channel’s own history. If they have never spoken there while Konflux was listening, the platform is not asked, and you see why: “someviewer has not spoken in examplestreamer while Konflux was listening, so there is no account to act on”.
/shoutoutand/raidare the exceptions: they go to whoever holds that channel name on Twitch today.
Which channel a command acts on
Section titled “Which channel a command acts on”/ban,/timeout,/purge,/warn,/unban,/untimeout,/mod,/unmod,/vipand/unvipact on one channel of the split: the first where the platform has that action and your role allows it. So/warnin a split that shows YouTube first goes to its Twitch channel. In a split with several platforms, Konflux says where it ran, for example “Ran on Twitch — a name means different people on different platforms.” To act on someone on another platform, use the hover keys or their card./useropens the card on the split’s first channel./nukeacts on each matching message in its own channel, on any platform.- Every other command that talks to a platform is Twitch’s, and acts on the split’s first Twitch channel. With no Twitch channel in the split, Konflux says so and sends nothing.
Who may use them
Section titled “Who may use them”Konflux runs a command only where your role allows it, and otherwise says why and sends nothing, for example “That takes a moderator in examplestreamer — nothing was sent.” or “YouTube offers no way to do that — nothing was sent.” When it does send, the platform has the final say, and its refusal arrives in its own words. See Who sees moderation tools.
Where the answer appears
Section titled “Where the answer appears”/ban,/timeout,/purge,/warn,/unban,/untimeout,/mod,/unmod,/vipand/unvipanswer on the action strip above the message box, where a timeout or ban can also be undone.- Everything else answers on a line above the message box, for example “Twitch: slow mode on.” or “Not done:” and the reason. Close that line with its Dismiss button.
Lengths
Section titled “Lengths”Write a length as a number and a letter: 30s, 10m, 1h, 2d or 1w. A plain number means seconds, except in /followers, where it means minutes. /commercial takes a plain number of seconds only.
