Twitch Actions

Applications that support Twitch actions:

• Competitions
• Rewards

Gleam supports the ability to login with Twitch as an action type.

This means you can open up a competition to any Twitch user, simply add it as an action type & once they login via Twitch they will get an entry.

Gleam supports the ability to follow any channel on Twitch as an action type.

This allows you to increase your channel followers via competitions. Entrants will have to follow the Twitch account in a new window, then come back to the Gleam widget and click 'Continue'.

Entries will be awarded once the follow status is verified by Gleam.

Twitch viewers can redeem their Channel Points for special perks in your Gleam campaigns.

For example, you can create a Custom Reward that offers bonus giveaway entries to entrants who redeem their Channel Points.

To access your Custom Rewards, you need to connect your Twitch account first.

You can create a custom Channel Points reward from Gleam. Once it's created, you can manage the appearance of your reward from the Creator Dashboard on Twitch.

Once a Custom Reward has been created through Gleam, they will appear in your list of Custom Rewards. The same reward can be reused in another Competition campaign.

Gleam will automatically review redemptions made for Gleam-related rewards. Please keep the Skip Reward Requests Queue option disabled from your Twitch settings.

The limits on Twitch that you set determine how often users can redeem their Channel Points, which can then be used in your Gleam campaign.

You can use cooldown & limits to require users to wait a certain amount of time between redeeming Channel Points, or limit the number of times a user can redeem Channel Points per stream.

From the widget, the entrant has to click through to your Twitch channel and redeem the Custom Reward with their Channel Points directly from the Twitch chat window.

Once it's redeemed, they can click 'Continue' from the Gleam widget to claim the reward.

This action allows you to run Subscriber only campaigns to reward loyal users on Twitch, it will validate if a user is currently a subscriber of your channel.

Please note that certain countries have No Purchase Necessary laws that require sweepstakes & giveaways to offer a free alternative to entry methods that require a purchase.

You can automatically add a free entry alternative to your Subscribe action by selecting 'A purchase or donation is required for users to complete this Action'.

The free entry alternative will only appear to entrants in countries where it is legally required.

This particular error has been happening more over the last few weeks, we've logged several tickets with Twitch on Github with no response currently.

When a user is trying to authenticate with their Twitch account on occasion Twitch will fail to pass through the correct authentication parameter to us, this means the login will error out.

Usually retrying again will fix it.

Occasionally the Twitch API may go down (502 errors), which will prevent us from completing actions. In this scenario we will prompt users to try again later.
