Connect Fansly
Fansly is Pokes' primary supported streaming platform. Connecting Fansly links your creator chatroom to pokesBot so tips, chat commands, and automation can drive your Lovense toys in real time.
This is a two-step setup:
- Pair pokesBot: prove your Pokes account owns your Fansly identity (
!loginPokesin the pokesBot chat). - Confirm listening: in your stream chat, type
!testand wait for pokesBot to reply.
The Streaming platform card on your dashboard tracks whether Fansly is connected and whether it is the active platform for tip ingestion (vs Joystick, if you use both).
pokesBot requires:
- A Creator Pokes account
- Premium (pokesBot is a paid feature)
- A Fansly creator account with a live chatroom you can post in
- Lovense toys connected and online in Pokes before tips will buzz hardware
Before you connect
| Requirement | Where to check |
|---|---|
| Creator account | Sign up as Creator or Switch to Creator in Settings |
| Premium | Billing (/billing): pokesBot pairing is blocked on Free |
| Lovense online | Toys (/toys): at least one toy shows online |
| Fansly chat access | You can open your stream chat and post as the creator |
See Creator Quick Start if you have not finished account and toy setup.
Connect Fansly to Pokes
1. Open pokesBot settings
- Sign in at pokes.love.
- On Dashboard (
/dashboard), find the Streaming platform card. - Click Fansly if it shows Not connected: Pokes opens pokesBot (
/pokesBot).
You can also open pokesBot directly from the sidebar.
2. Generate a pairing code
On the Pokesbot / Fansly Settings panel:
- Click Generate new code (Premium required).
- Copy the full line shown, for example:
!loginPokes abc12345-… - Codes are short-lived: if pairing fails, generate a fresh code.
3. Paste in the pokesBot live chat
- Open fansly.com/live/pokesBot in a new tab.
- Paste the
!loginPokes …line into chat and press Send. - In Fansly chat settings, ensure Hide Creator Messages is off so the bot can see your message.
- Return to Pokes: the page polls automatically and shows 💓 Connected: paired on Fansly when linking succeeds.
You can also start this flow from Log in with Fansly on the login page if you are creating an account for the first time.
4. Set Fansly as your active platform
Back on Dashboard → Streaming platform:
- Fansly should show your @handle and a green status LED when connected.
- If you also use Joystick, click Fansly to make it Active so tips and chat events come from Fansly.
Switching platforms does not unlink the other one: it only changes which stream Pokes listens to.
5. Confirm pokesBot is listening in your chatroom
Pairing links your account and enables commands and tip triggers in your room. No extra activation command is required.
- Go live on Fansly (or open your creator chatroom).
- Type
!testin your stream chat and send it. - pokesBot should reply: PokesBot is online and heard !test. That means it is listening and ready.
- Optional: run
/mod pokesBotin chat so the bot stays visible when follow-only or mod-gated chat is on.
!test only works when you (the creator) send it. If there is no reply, see PokesBot Not Responding.
After !test succeeds, open Test Tips (/tip-settings/test-tips) and fire a small amount. Confirm your toy responds before you advertise tip menus on stream.
What you can do after connecting
| Feature | What it does on Fansly |
|---|---|
| Tips | Map tip amounts to toy reactions with tip rules. |

| Test tips | Simulate tip amounts through the real pokesBot path at /tip-settings/test-tips. |
| Auto control links | Send redeem links on tip from Control links → Settings (/control-links/settings). |

pokesBot toggles (after pairing)
On /pokesBot, these switches control how the bot behaves in your Fansly chat:
| Toggle | Effect |
|---|---|
| Listen for chat commands | Runs !commands from your Fansly chat and allows Tip Studio test tips. |
| Bot ignores all chat | Disables chat listening: no commands, replies, or tip-link DMs. Fansly tips also stop triggering your toy while it is on. |
| Make Bot skip thanking for tips in chat | Silences thank-you chat lines; tip rules still buzz toys. |
| Announce pokes in chat | Posts who triggered each toy reaction (commands, tips, extension, site). |
| Pause AUTO chat messages while offline | Timed and message-count AUTO messages only post while a connected platform reports you live. |
Use Disconnect on the Fansly panel to unlink pokesBot from your account. Your Joystick link (if any) stays connected.
