Hello  
got a question

im trying to add a raid command to my bot so you can faster raid people

Exmple:  
infinity\_lotus91 Raid Command:  
!ril

i tryed it in two way but every time i try it i get this

[00:49] info: [#freaksheep] Executing command: /raid infinity\_lotus91  
[00:49] info: [#freaksheep] You don’t have permission to perform that action.

these are the ways i tryed it With and without a @:

Option #1

client.on(‘chat’, (channel, user, message, self) =\> {  
if (message === ‘!ril’) {  
client.say(process.env.CHANNEL\_TOKEN, ‘/raid infinity\_lotus91’)  
}  
});

Option #2

client.on(‘chat’, (channel, user, message, self) =\> {  
if (message.startsWith("!ril") && user.mod === true){  
client.say(process.env.CHANNEL\_TOKEN, “/raid infinity\_lotus91”);  
}  
});

Thank you in advance

~~Raid is a moderation command so you need the moderation scope on the token used to connected to chat~~

Additionally the user issuing the raid (in this case your bot) needs to be an editor of the channel.

See also [Customer Support](https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/chat-commands?language=en_US) on the editor level commands

See also [Cannot run "editor" level commands via chat. · Issue #446 · twitchdev/issues · GitHub](https://github.com/twitchdev/issues/issues/446) and [Twitch Chat Commands | Twitch Developers](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/chat-commands)

You need the `channel_editor` scope _and_ the user needs to be an editor for the channel you wish to raid from.

You can’t do a raid yourself in regular chat?

the user that triggers the raid in chat that _actually_ types/sends `/raid user` in chat will need to be an editor.

Since you are trying to make your `bot account` do this, then the `bot account` needs to be an editor of the channel.
