Check Specific User

Runs on: Frontend (Chatbox) — only available in the Chatbox Flow Editor; runs inside the OBS browser source.

The Check Specific User check reads the user.login field on the incoming chat message and compares it (case-insensitively) to the username you configure on the node. If the chatter's login matches, the message is forwarded to Pass; otherwise it goes to Fail.

Use this node to give a specific person — a co-host, a recurring donor, or a bot account — a unique chatbox layout. You can chain multiple Check Specific User nodes to match a small group of users.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
messagechat-messageThe chat message object from the Chat Message trigger or an upstream check node.

Outputs

NameTypeDescription
passchat-messageThe message, forwarded if the chatter's login matches the configured username.
failchat-messageThe message, forwarded if the chatter does not match.

Configuration

  • Username: The Twitch login name to match against (e.g. nightbot). The comparison is case-insensitive. Leave blank to never match.

Example

Configure the node with the username nightbot and route Pass to a "bot" variant that renders bot messages in a muted italic style. Regular chatters continue through Fail to the normal layout.
