Twitch
Social MediaRun a Twitch channel from your flows with 28 Helix API actions: update stream title and category, send chat messages, capture clips and stream markers, run polls, manage videos, and pull follower, subscriber, and Bits data.
What This Integration Enables
A stream is live production: one person is simultaneously the talent, the director, and the marketing department. The talent part cannot be delegated. Everything else can. FlowRunner agents work the Twitch Helix API as the control room around the broadcast: they set channel information before the show, verify live status before announcing, mark and clip moments while the stream runs, operate polls as interactive segments, and pull the growth numbers after the lights go down. - Show prep: title, category, tags, and bio updated per episode, announcements timed to actual live status - Live capture: stream markers and clips created in the moment, so highlight editing starts with coordinates - Audience operations: chat messages, polls opened and closed, chatters and chat settings read for moderation context - Growth intelligence: followers, subscriptions with tier and gift detail, and the Bits leaderboard on a reporting schedule - Discovery: top games, category search, and live channel search for content planning The [human-in-the-loop](/concepts/human-in-the-loop) gates sit on the two things that cannot be taken back: deleting recorded broadcasts, and anything involving the stream key, which is a secret that grants the channel itself.

Use Case Scenarios
Go-live that markets itself
The pre-show flow runs from the schedule read out of Get Channel Stream Schedule. Modify Channel Information sets tonight's title and category, then the agent polls Get Streams until the channel is genuinely live, and only then posts the announcement to [Discord](/integrations/discord) and [X](/integrations/x-twitter) with the real title and a link. Send Chat Message greets early arrivals with the plan for the night. The streamer's only job in the first ten minutes is the show, and the announcement never claims a stream that OBS failed to start.
Highlights located while they happen
During the broadcast, the agent watches chat velocity through Get Chatters and drops a Create Stream Marker whenever activity spikes, capturing the timestamp with a note. For the biggest surges it runs Create Clip, which requires the channel to be live and works asynchronously. The next morning, Get Clips assembles the candidates and posts them to the community channel for reactions. The editor opens a project with markers and clips already naming the moments, instead of scrubbing three hours of VOD looking for where the room exploded.
The growth report that turns streaming into a business
Every Monday the agent pulls Get Channel Followers for the follower count, Get Broadcaster Subscriptions for subscriber count and points by tier, and Get Bits Leaderboard for the week's top supporters, appending everything to [Google Sheets](/integrations/google-sheets). Week-over-week deltas post to Discord with the top Bits contributors named so the streamer can thank them on the next show. Sponsorship conversations stop starting with a guess, because the channel's growth curve is a document, current to this morning, with tiers and points broken out the way a sponsor actually asks for them.
Human-in-Loop Highlight
Delete Videos permanently removes past broadcasts, up to five per request, and cannot be undone. A VOD is frequently the only copy of a show: the raw material for highlights, the archive sponsors ask to see, the recording of the night something great happened. A retention agent that prunes storage by age alone will eventually delete the channel's best night because it happened four months ago. So in FlowRunner, cleanup agents only nominate: Get Videos assembles candidates with dates, view counts, and whether clips reference them, and the streamer names what actually dies before Delete Videos runs. The same caution wraps Get Stream Key, which returns the credential that lets anyone broadcast as the channel: agents fetch it only inside explicit re-setup workflows a person initiated, and it is never logged, posted, or stored downstream.
