Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your Twitch integration, picks the right message type and color, and sends the message.

Claude Code

> Send a purple announcement to Twitch:
  "Stream starting now! Let's build!"

Claude: Done! Scheduled on Twitch for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Twitch + Other Platforms

Announce your stream on Twitch and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

  Twitch and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
  a daily tip on Twitch every weekday at 10am

Paperclip: Done! Scheduled:

What can you ask Paperclip to do on Twitch?

You assign a task in plain language and the agent translates it into Postiz calls with the right Twitch settings. These are prompts people actually give a Paperclip agent for Twitch.

Pre-stream announcement

Ask Paperclip

> Post a purple announcement in my Twitch chat at
  6:55pm saying we go live in 5 minutes

Paperclip: messageType: announcement, announcementColor:
  purple. Scheduled for 6:55 PM.

Sponsor reminder

Ask Paperclip

> Every stream night at 8pm, post the sponsor
  link as a normal chat message

Paperclip: Recurring 8:00 PM chat message created.

Thank-you message

Ask Paperclip

> After tonight's stream, post a green
  announcement thanking new subs

Paperclip: announcementColor: green. Scheduled
  for 11:00 PM.

What Twitch rules should the agent follow?

Twitch rejects posts that break its limits, so the agent needs these constraints up front. Put them in the task or in your Paperclip agent's instructions.

✓messageType is message (default) or announcement. Announcements are highlighted in chat and stand out from regular messages.
✓announcementColor applies only to announcements: primary, blue, green, orange, or purple.
✓Twitch chat messages are limited to 500 characters. Keep links short and avoid repeated messages that chat filters may flag.
✓The Postiz connection posts as your channel account, so announcements use the broadcaster's permissions.

Paperclip and Twitch: frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions teams ask before letting a Paperclip agent post to Twitch through Postiz.

How do I post to Twitch chat from Paperclip?

Install the Postiz skill in your agent's environment with npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent, set POSTIZ_API_KEY, and connect your Twitch channel in Postiz. Then assign a task such as "post a go-live announcement in chat at 7pm" and the agent schedules it through the Postiz CLI.

What is the difference between a Twitch message and an announcement in Postiz?

A message is a normal chat line. An announcement is Twitch's highlighted format with a colored bar, set with messageType announcement and an announcementColor of primary, blue, green, orange, or purple. Use announcements for go-live notices and sponsor spots, messages for casual chat.

Can Paperclip time Twitch chat messages to my stream schedule?

Yes. Give the agent your streaming days and times, and it schedules pre-stream reminders, mid-stream sponsor lines, and post-stream thank-yous through Postiz. Paperclip heartbeats keep the routine running each week, and you can pause the task from the dashboard on nights off.

Is there a character limit for Twitch chat through Postiz?

Twitch limits chat messages to 500 characters, and Postiz applies the same limit. Ask the agent to keep announcements short and put longer details on a linked page. Repeating the same text often can trigger Twitch's spam filters, so vary recurring messages slightly.

Can a Paperclip agent post to Twitch and Kick at the same time?

Yes. Connect both channels in Postiz and name both in the task. The agent sends the Twitch version with announcement settings and the Kick version as a plain chat message, at the same scheduled time, so multi-platform streamers keep both chats in sync.
