Nightbot handling Link Posting with Messages

[MrChiprocks1]

Hello, I am new to Nightbot. I’ve searched online, but I haven’t found anything regarding my issue.

What I would like to do (or what I want Nightbot to do) is to allow users to post links to their YouTube Channels, but I want Nightbot to handle the posting and have Nightbot say something like "Go check out such and such Channel, followed by their Channel Link.

I’ve seen a few chats using them in the past and thought it was a default thing I could just turn on. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Copy and paste the text below into chat to add a !raidlove command: !addcom -cd=5 !raidlove Thank you for the raid $(user)! Please check out their channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/$(userid) The next time another streamer raids you, tell them to type !raidl…

Thank you for this. So, just to clarify, I copy/paste and drop directly into my chat, but I don’t need to set anything up in Custom Channel commands over on my Nightbot Dashboard?

Yes, just copy/paste the command RokettoJanpu wrote in your chat, and then there should be a message confirming the command is added.
