# Channels to join (only those can be acted on)

    # Issue a ban on the user who wrote the chat-line
    - ban: "reason of ban"

    # Modify an internal counter value (does NOT send a chat line)
    - counter: "counterid" # String to identify the counter, applies templating
      counter_step: 1      # Integer, can be negative or positive, default: +1

    # Send responding message to the channel the original message was received in
    - respond: 'Hello chatter' # String, applies templating

    # Issue a timeout on the user who wrote the chat-line
    - timeout: 1s # Duration value: 1s / 1m / 1h

    # Add a cooldown to the command (not to trigger counters twice, ...)
    cooldown: 1s # Duration value: 1s / 1m / 1h

    # Disable actions on this rule if the user has an active permit
    disable_on_permit: false

    # Disable actions on this rule if the user has one of these badges

    # Enable actions on this rule only if the user has one of these badges
    enable_on: [broadcaster, moderator]

    # Require the chat message to be sent in this channel
    match_channels: ['#mychannel']

    # Execute actions when this event occurs
    match_event: 'permit'

    # Execute action when the chat message matches this regular expression
    match_message: '' # String, regular expression

    # Disable the actions on this rule if one of these regular expression matches the chat message
    disable_on_match_messages: []

...
```

## Templating

There are certain variables available in the strings with templating enabled:

- `msg` - The message object, used in functions, should not be sent to chat
- `permitTimeout` - Value of `permit_timeout` in seconds
- `username` - The username of the message author

Additionally there are some functions available in the templates:

- `arg <idx>` - Takes the message sent to the channel, splits by space and returns the Nth element
- `counterValue <counter name>` - Returns the current value of the counter which identifier was supplied
- `fixUsername <username>` - Ensures the username no longer contains the `@` prefix
- `group <idx>` - Gets matching group specified by index from `match_message` regular expression
- `recentGame <username> [fallback]` - Returns the last played game name of the specified user (see shoutout example) or the `fallback` if the game could not be fetched. If no fallback was supplied the message will fail and not be sent.
- `tag <tagname>` - Takes the message sent to the channel, returns the value of the tag specified
