Frequently asked questions
What if the Twitch follower doesn't have the same name on Discord?
The workflow matches by username, so if usernames differ the role won't be assigned automatically. You can add a manual mapping sheet or ask followers to link their accounts via a bot command as an additional step outside this workflow.
How do I get a Twitch broadcaster ID?
Go to https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-to-user-id/ and enter your Twitch username. Alternatively call the Twitch API endpoint GET /helix/users?login=YOUR_USERNAME with your credentials and copy the `id` field from the response.
What Discord bot permissions does the bot need?
Your Discord bot must have the `Manage Roles` permission enabled in your server. Also ensure the bot's role is positioned higher in the role hierarchy than the role it is trying to assign, otherwise Discord's API will return a 403 error.
