Remote Triggers

Easily communicate between multiple Streamer.bot instances

You can use Remote Triggers to easily send data or execute actions on multiple Streamer.bot instances. It even works over remote networks!

To send events to another instance, we utilize the Send Remote Trigger sub-action
To receive events on another instance, we uitlize the Remote Instance Trigger

Prerequisites

  1. Multiple Streamer.bot Instances
- If you don't already have two Streamer.bot instances, this tutorial is likely of no use to you! 😊

- Remote triggers work great with two instances on the same PC, separate PCs, or even in completely separate locations.

2. Enable Streamer.bot Website Integration

All instances must have the [Streamer.bot Website Integration](/guide/integrations/streamerbot) configured and enabled in order to communicate with eachother

Instructions

  1. Send a trigger
Navigate to Actions in Streamer.bot Instance #1
1. Create a new action
    - _Use an existing action if you know what you are doing!_
2. Add any trigger you want to execute this action
    - We are going to use a **Test** trigger
    - You can use anything you want, e.g. Commands, Chat Messages, etc.
2. Add a **Streamer.bot > Remote > Send Remote Trigger** sub-action
3. Select the destination instance
    - Any instances connected to your Streamer.bot website account will show up here
4. Enter an event name
    - We are going to enter `"test"`{lang=cs}
5. Add any arguments you would like to send to the other instance

2. Receive a trigger

Navigate to Actions in Streamer.bot Instance #2
1. Create a new action
    - _Use an existing action if you know what you are doing!_
2. Add a trigger: **Integrations > Streamer.bot Remote > Remote Instance Trigger**
3. Select `Any`, or select the specific instance which is **sending** the remote trigger
4. Set the event name to the same name you used on the sending side
    - We used `"test"`{lang=cs}
5. Add any sub-actions to perform when this action is triggered!

3. Done!

Since we used the **Test** trigger on our sending action, we can :kbd{value="Right-Click"} the trigger on **Instance #1**, and click `Test`. This will execute our action and then execute the action configured on **Instance #2**!

You have successfully enabled communications across multiple Streamer.bot instances!

Tips & Tricks

  • You can use the Include Action's Arguments option to send all variables from a trigger on one instance, over to the second instance.
  • You can use the Arguments table entry to include any arbitrary data you wish to send to the second instance
