Rusty ShoutOut / Guide

Rusty ShoutOut Setup Guide

Twitch + Kick auto-shoutouts, !so commands and timers from one dashboard. Free 48-hour trial — trial shoutouts are branded “Rusty ShoutOut says: …”, removed on a qualifying Ko-fi tier.

Open Dashboard — Log in

1. Log in

  1. Go to the admin dashboard.
  2. Click Login with Twitch or Login with Kick.
  3. Authorize with your streaming account. Your group is created automatically.

2. Link your other platform

Streaming on both? Link them so you see one panel for both: in Connections click Connect Kick (or Connect Twitch) and log in. Linking a second channel needs a qualifying Ko-fi tier — fresh logins and re-logins of linked channels always pass.

3. Add shoutout targets

  1. Open the Shoutouts tab.
  2. Add streamers by Twitch/Kick login, or bulk-import from a .txt (one name per line).
  3. Set per-target Twitch/Kick logins + optional override templates.
  4. Use Test shout to preview (trial previews carry trial branding).

4. Commands (!so and custom)

Viewers trigger !so <name> / !shoutout <name> (mods/broadcaster only). Custom commands support aliases, {user} {channel} {args}, per-command cooldowns and permissions (broadcaster, mod, vip, sub, everyone) plus broadcast-to-both toggle.

5. Timers

Post on a schedule with separate live/offline intervals and rotating messages. Timers fire during the trial; expired groups are locked until they subscribe.

6. Templates

Global fallback + Twitch/Kick overrides using {displayName} {game} {title} {url} {twitchUrl} {kickUrl}. Example: Check out {displayName} playing {game} at {url}!

7. Moderators

In Connections → Moderators add mods by channel name — they get full dashboard access for your group with an owner/mod switcher.

8. Membership (stay unlocked)

Shoutouts, timers and second-channel linking unlock with AA Battery Supplier (£10/mo), Bot Whisperer (£15/mo) or Elite Supporter Status (£25/mo) on Ko-fi: 1) subscribe → 2) paste the same Ko-fi email in the dashboard → 3) status flips to Active. Checkout link expired? Use the tiers page.
