Choose an event

Start with what you want the audience to change. Your authenticated client receives the IM message types enabled for its application; it does not need to send a subscription list.

Event	Useful for	Handle carefully
live.like	Team energy, progress, shared goals	count and total are strings; validate before arithmetic.
live.gift	A chosen gift triggers a specific skill or object	Match gift.id, not names. Choose a combo policy.
live.chat	Team selection, commands, audience votes	Render content as plain text.

All three use the same event envelope. Deduplicate by event type and message_id; the user object may be absent.

Pick a gift, then pick its effect

Use the Gift Catalog to copy an ID into your game's configuration. The Gateway delivers the event; your game owns the rules. Unknown gift IDs should not disconnect your client.

Not receiving an event?

Authentication success does not mean every message type is enabled. Confirm the application configuration and generate a new interaction in a test live room. See Troubleshooting.
