Kinkajou Bridge connects to Streamer.bot as a WebSocket client. When a printer event occurs, Bridge calls DoAction on a single exported action — Kinkajou Bridge — and passes event_name (plus printer/context args).

That router looks for a user-created action with the matching name (for example Kinkajou - Print Started) and runs it. Your automation lives in those user actions so re-importing the Kinkajou export does not overwrite them.

Responsibilities

Layer	Role
Bridge	Watches printers; sends DoAction to Kinkajou Bridge
Kinkajou Bridge action	Export-owned router; dispatches by event_name
Your Kinkajou - … actions	Stream-facing logic (alerts, OBS, chat, …)
Overlays	Usually read Bridge’s HTTP/WS API directly (see Overlay developer docs)

Prerequisites

1. Bridge is connected to Streamer.bot (user setup: Connect Streamer.bot).
2. Import the Kinkajou Streamer.bot export (provides the Kinkajou Bridge router action).
3. At least one printer is configured in Bridge.
4. You created user actions for the events you care about (see Actions and arguments).
