Is Highlighted
Runs on: Frontend (Chatbox) — only available in the Chatbox Flow Editor; runs inside the OBS browser source.
The Is Highlighted check reads the message_type field on the incoming chat message and checks whether it equals "channel_points_highlighted". This message type is set when a viewer redeems the built-in "Highlight My Message" channel-point reward. If the message is highlighted, it is forwarded to Pass; otherwise it goes to Fail.
Use this node to make highlighted messages visually distinctive — a colored background, an animated border, or a separate layout variant — so viewers get their money's worth from the redemption.

Route highlighted messages to a "highlighted" variant with a bright yellow banner behind the username and message text. Send Fail to the standard layout.
