Hello guys. I would like to create a link to my Twitter account that is clickable (as a command). How can i do that? I read the nightbot documentation and try to use JavaScript, but is doesn't work.

Join me on Twitter https://www.twitter.com/myusername

Thank You

Hey @Swift Flamingo!

You don't need to use JavaScript for such simple command, just put your Twitter account URL in the message field.

Thanks for your answer, but it wasn't helpful.

I'm sure i don't need Javascript.

If you had read correctly, I have said that the link to the Twitch account should be clickable.
Unfortunately this is not possible with Markdown or HTML.

The following command creates a !Twitter command that contains a clickable link.

!addcom !twitter Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HANDLE

Now, whether you can actually click the link or not is up to the streaming platform's chat, Nightbot isn't responsible for making the link clickable or not, a link is just a string, the platform is free to interpret link strings as they please, and you can't inject HTML or Markdown in the chat if the chat doesn't support it.

Ok, I understand. The chat must support this function. Would have thought to have seen this before as a nightboot command.

Thanks for your answers.
