Trula Settings

What this page is

Connections → Monetization → Trula is where Trula is given the token from its OBS dock panel so donations reach the app. Two things live here: the Accept donations switch and the token itself.

On Trula a donation and a music request are one and the same action: the viewer pays, and the track goes into the queue.

How to set it up

1. Open Connections → Monetization and press Connect Trula on the card. On an already connected card the same page opens with Configure. The arrow in the top left, Back, returns to the list.
2. The page is headed Trula Settings, with "Configure Trula to receive donation notifications." under it.
3. The top row is Accept donations, subtitled Trula, with a badge and a switch. The switch acts the moment you flip it — it is not waiting for the save button. With it off the badge reads Disabled and nothing is received.
4. Press Open the Trula dashboard. It opens trula.io in your ordinary browser. The hint says where to look: Trula puts this token into the OBS dock panel link, in your Trula dashboard.
5. Paste the whole link into Dock panel token — the app reads the token out of it itself. Pasting just the token works too, if that is what you have.
6. Press Save Settings in the top right corner. It reports back on itself — Saving…, then Saved, or Error. After a successful save the page closes itself and returns to the list of services.
7. Saving with the field empty and no token stored yet is refused with "Please enter your dock panel token."
8. Reopen the page to check. The token field is empty on purpose — a stored token is never shown back to you. That it exists is said by the prompt inside the field: "Token saved — leave empty to keep it". Leaving the field empty and pressing Save Settings keeps it untouched; to switch accounts, paste the new one over.
9. The badge beside the switch tells you where the connection stands: Not connected (no token yet), Disabled (the switch is off), Connecting…, New token required, Connection error, or Connected.
10. New token required means the stored token no longer works — most often it was reissued in the dashboard. Get the dock panel link again and save it over the old one.

What arrives, and what it counts as

• A Trula donation arrives as an ordinary donation event, so alerts, goals, the auction and voice over pick it up without being told about Trula at all.
• Trula takes roubles only, and the amount is converted into your base currency the same as every other service.
• The donor's name arrives with the donation. A donation sent anonymously shows as anonymous, and the name of the platform account behind it is not revealed.

What is normal here

• Donations that arrived while the app was closed are not replayed. Trula runs around the clock and donations come in at night; without this rule the morning start would play back all of them at once — the carousel spinning through the night, voice over queued for minutes, challenge counters filling with yesterday's money.
• The cost of that rule is worth knowing: a donation lost during a network failure in the minute before you restart the app is lost for good. Missing one donation is the cheaper side of the trade.
• The connection card shows no account name. The dock panel token does not give one out, and the name in a donation belongs to the viewer, not to you.
