Hi, im being told that its not possible to set up a app anymore with the new api that will auto follow a twitch channel once they click a button on my website after they are signed in. Was wondering if this is true or not and if there is a way to do it or not?

That’s correct, with Helix (new) API there is no endpoint currently to follow a channel using a user’s scoped auth token. I’m sure they’re close to supporting this though 😉 You can use the v5 API to do this though in the mean time.
