# Setup

## 1. The Invitation

In order to invite eChatter to your server, there's one thing you will need:

* Manage Server Permissions \[server owners have it by default]

Ready? Head over here to invite the bot: [press me](https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=697427344872177704\&scope=bot\&permissions=7728448) [🦸‍♂️](https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=697427344872177704\&scope=bot\&permissions=7728448)

{% hint style="info" %}
Quicky Fact: eChatter will send you a message if a permission is missing \[error message]. 
{% endhint %}

## 2. The In-Server Setup

Once eChatter has joined your crib \[aka server], create a new channel called "echat" or "echatter", or use the command **#setchat #{CHANNEL}** to use an existing chat for eChatter commands.

## 3. Start Chattin!

Now that you're good to go, let's start queuing! Do so by entering the command: 

**#call** - This will trigger eChatter to find your server a stranger's server, with REAL HUMANS to talk to!

**PATIENCE!** It might take some time for another server to pick up on the phone. Remember, we are trying to connect you with a **stranger's server,** which could take time!

## Custom Prefix and More!

For all of you who don't cope with the prefix **#** in front of all your commands:

You can change the default prefix by using the command **#setprefix {desiredPrefix}**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note that** if you changed your prefix, then simply replace "#" with your own prefix when sending commands! 

Ex: if you changed your prefix to **!**, then you would do **!settings** or **!call** instead of **#settings** or **#call**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Want to customize it further? Use the command **#settings or #help** for more fancy commands!

Oh, did you just change your prefix? Then simply replace "#" with your own prefix! Ex: **{prefix}settings** or **{prefix}help**
{% endhint %}
