How To Set Up Recent Follower Command On Nightbot - [Easy Guide]

If you or your chat is ever curious about who your most recent follower is, adding the recent follower command to your chat is a great way to easily find out. In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to set up a recent follower command in Nightbot.

Let’s jump in and get started.

How To Set Up !RecentFollower Command On Twitch

To set up the Recent Follower command on your Twitch channel you will need to use a third-party bot. In this tutorial, we will be showing you how to set up the command with Nightbot. If you haven’t already created a Nightbot account head over to Nightbot and create one.

Step 1 – Mod Nightbot

To ensure that Nightbot works on our channel we will have to first mod Nightbot in our chat. This allows it to pull the necessary information from your channel and return it in chat.

To mod night bot head over to Twitch and open your Twitch channel. To do this navigate to your Profile Picture –> Creator Dashboard –> Chat Box.

In the chat box type /mod nightbot

This will mod the Night bot chatbot in your chat allowing you to use commands in your stream.

Step 2 – Add A Custom Command In Nightbot (Recent Follower)

In Nightbot navigate to Commands –> Custom –> Add Command.

We now have to create our command. There are a few different options we need to fill in.

Command – This is what users will type into chat to activate the Recent Follower command. I recommend just setting this to !recentfollower or !rf for a shorter version.

Message – The message is what gets returned to the user when they enter the command in your Twitch chat. I have included the code below so you can just copy and paste the code into Nightbot. Shout out to SamuelDmusic on Youtube for providing the code.

Feel free to edit the start of the message or add more responses to the code. Make sure to change “CHANNEL” to your username.

Userlevel – For this command, you can set userlevel to everyone

Cooldown – You don’t want people to repeatedly spam the Recent Follower command in chat so I would recommend setting cool down to a minimum of 60 seconds.

Alias – You can leave this blank

Below you can see how the command should look before clicking submit to save the command.

We can now test this command on our stream.

Step 3 – Test The !recentfollower Command

To test if the Recent Follower command is working, head over to your Twitch chat and type in the !recentfollower command.

All you have to do to trigger the command is type !recentfollower in chat. As you can see below Nightbot returns the most recent follower on your channel.
