Song Requests NEW

The Song Request system lets viewers request songs via chat. It supports two modes:

• Manual Mode — Songs are saved to a queue you manage from the dashboard. Perfect for musicians playing instruments and singing live.
• Spotify Mode — Songs are automatically searched and played/queued on Spotify.

Commands

Command	Response
!songreq !songrequest	Request a song. Usage: !songreq Song Title - Artist
!songskip	Skip the current song (broadcaster/moderator only).

Manual Mode

In manual mode, song requests are saved to the database and appear in your dashboard. You can view the queue, mark songs as done, skip them, or delete requests.

This mode is ideal for musicians who play instruments and sing on stream — viewers request songs, and you manage the queue manually.

!songreq Loving This Moment - Gamma Skies

Example Usage

User Message

!songreq Radiant - Harris Heller

Senchabot's Response

Added your request to the queue.

Saves the request to the dashboard queue.

Spotify Mode Free

Spotify mode automatically searches for the requested song on Spotify and attempts to play it or add it to the queue.

Requires:

• Linked Spotify account in dashboard settings
• Spotify app open and active

!songreq Song Title - Artist

Example Usage

User Message

!songreq Beauty In The Mundane - Bird Of Figment

Senchabot's Response (if playing)

Now playing your request on Spotify.

Searches Spotify and starts playback.

Senchabot's Response (if queued)

Added your request to the Spotify queue.

Searches Spotify and adds to queue.

Spotify Not Configured?

If Spotify mode is enabled but no Spotify account is linked, the request is still saved to the database with a failed status. Viewers can see the request in the dashboard, and you can still manage it manually.

Dashboard

Visit your dashboard at Song Requests to manage the queue in real time:

• View all requests with song title, artist, requester, mode, and status
• Filter by status: All, Pending, Playing, Queued, Done, Skipped, Failed
• Mark Done — mark a song as completed
• Skip — skip the current song (sets status to skipped)
• Delete — permanently remove a request from the queue

The dashboard updates every 2 seconds via live polling.

Status Meanings

Status	Meaning
pending	Request received, waiting to be played (manual mode)
playing	Song is currently playing (Spotify mode)
queued	Song is in the Spotify queue (Spotify mode)
done	Song was completed (set manually via dashboard)
skipped	Song was skipped (via !songskip or dashboard)
failed	Spotify playback failed, but request is saved

Configuration

In your channel's Settings → General:

Setting	Description
Song Request Command	Enable or disable !songreq
Song Requests: Subscribers Only	Restrict to subscribers + mods
Song Requests: Require Channel Points	Require channel points redemption (Twitch only)
Spotify Auto-Playback	Toggle between Spotify and Manual mode

Spam Prevention

Each user can only have a configurable number of active song requests at a time (default: 1). Active requests are those with status pending, playing, or queued. The user must wait until their request is marked done, skipped, or deleted before making another request.

Cooldown System

Command usage cooldown time is 1 second per user. Song requests have configurable per-user and global cooldowns separate from the general command cooldown.
