Hi Nightbot team,

I'm the owner of the Twitch channel twitch.tv/oizogg, but Nightbot is not recognizing me correctly. I can log in, and the bot is a mod and responds to commands like !lelo, but I cannot use !editcom or !addcom in chat – nothing happens.

When I try to add myself as a Manager under Account Settings, I get:
HTTPError Status Code: 400, Message: user not found

I've already tried:

  • Disconnecting and reconnecting Nightbot from Twitch
  • Rejoining the channel
  • Re-modding the bot
  • Using the Twitch web chat

Can you please reset or re-sync my account in your backend?

Thanks!

This sounds like Nightbot is working normally, but that you have the !commands default command disabled in chat. You can edit default command configuration at <https://nightbot.tv/commands/default>

You cannot add yourself as a manager, so that would be why you get a 404 when doing that.

This is not something we are able to do. Users must do this themselves: <https://discord.com/channels/229471495087194112/1534597676505497683>
