Event Flow Recipes - Social Stream Ninja

What Event Flow Is For

Event Flow is the advanced automation editor. Use it when popup toggles are not enough: filter chat, trigger media, relay messages, call webhooks, or control OBS.

Event Flow Guide overview explaining sources, logic nodes, actions, and payloads — Think in three pieces: source event, logic/filter, action.

Before Any Recipe

Use one test platform and one Social Stream session.
Open the dock and confirm chat arrives.
Open actions.html?session=YOUR_SESSION if the recipe plays audio, media, or controls OBS.
Test with a fake message or a safe trigger before going live.
Export a working flow before making a large edit.

Recipe Ideas

Recipe	Trigger	Action
Keyword sound	Message contains `!hype`	Play audio clip in `actions.html`.
Kick reward media	Reward/channel point event	Show an image, video, or sound.
First-time chatter	First-time chatter flag or filter	Feature the message or show a welcome overlay.
Donation alert	`hasDonation` or donation event	Send to alert overlay, webhook, or OBS scene action.
Webhook relay	Platform/type filter	POST a selected payload to your service.

Kick Reward Media Example

This is the most common practical Event Flow pattern: match a reward, then play media through Flow Actions.

Event Flow reward trigger example for Kick rewards — Start with a specific trigger so the flow does not fire for every chat message.

Event Flow media action fields for reward-triggered sound or media — Then point the action to the sound, image, video, or overlay output you want.

Common Fixes

Nothing happens: confirm the source event arrives in the dock first.
Audio or media does not play: keep actions.html open with the same session, then check the Event Flow media hosting guide.
OBS action fails: check OBS WebSocket v5, port 4455, password, and permissions.
Flow fires too often: add a stricter platform, event, keyword, or user filter.
