# Quickstart

> Learn how to set up Flippy in your server.

## Step 1 - Invite Flippy to your server

If [Flippy](/flippy/introduction#who-is-flippy) (our Discord bot) isn't in your server yet, click [here](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1150448986264698980\&permissions=395405806672\&integration_type=0\&scope=bot) to invite it.

| Bot Permissions                                                             | Required | Reason                                                                                                                        |

| Use External Emoji                                                          | ✅        | Required to show custom emojis for tokens in messages.                                                                        |
| Add Reactions                                                               | ❌        | Required if you want Flippy to react to messages.                                                                             |
| Attach Files                                                                | ❌        | Required if you want Flippy to show images in messages.                                                                       |
| Send Messages in Threads                                                    | ❌        | Flippy needs this permission to send messages in threads.                                                                     |
| Create Public Threads<br />Create Private Threads<br />Manage Threads       | ❌        | Flippy needs this permission to open threads for some requests to keep the main chat clean.                                   |
| Manage Channels                                                             | ❌        | Required to automatically create an admin-only alerts channel when the bot is invited. Can be revoked afterwards.             |
| Manage Roles                                                                | ❌        | Required to grant roles to users during verification, or when members receive roles as quest rewards or storefront purchases. |

## Step 2 - Setup alerts channel

If you enabled the **Manage Channels** permission when inviting Flippy to your server, a channel category named
**Flipsuite** with the `🚨alerts` channel in it should get created:

<Frame caption={"Spawned Flipsuite channel category"}>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flipsuite/PRo5j1fk1afIt1sy/images/quickstart/alerts-channel.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=PRo5j1fk1afIt1sy&q=85&s=9a04bb5cfcba2bfd28df388db50cebe2" className="rounded-lg" width="307" height="75" data-path="images/quickstart/alerts-channel.png" />
</Frame>

<Tip>
  This channel will most likely be created at the bottom of your channel list. If you still can't find
  it in your server, use the `/setup` command to spawn it manually.
</Tip>

<Frame caption={"Welcoming message from Flippy"}>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flipsuite/PRo5j1fk1afIt1sy/images/quickstart/alerts-channel-message.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=PRo5j1fk1afIt1sy&q=85&s=5b078494a03ae48b0ab33b1e00738014" className="rounded-lg" width="1131" height="761" data-path="images/quickstart/alerts-channel-message.png" />
</Frame>

The alerts channel is where you will receive various alerts from Flipsuite, such as when your rewards wallet balance is
empty and needs to be refilled, and other notifications that require your immediate attention. You can rename this
channel and move it somewhere else, but it's recommended to not delete this channel.

## Step 3 - Activate your server

Server activation is a one-click process of registering your server within Flipsuite. To activate your server, simply
log into [the dashboard](https://flipsuite.xyz/manage) and go to the **Manage communities** tab.

<Frame caption={"Manage communities tab"}>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flipsuite/VxrSTxRydJKm9qVX/images/quickstart/communities.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=VxrSTxRydJKm9qVX&q=85&s=482dddab4a696d570dbb8168c739ae8a" className="rounded-lg" width="1435" height="426" data-path="images/quickstart/communities.png" />
</Frame>

From the list of servers you have admin permissions in, pick yours and simply click the **Activate** button.
This will allow you to manage your community via Flipsuite dashboard.

<Note>
  Each server can only be activated once. If someone else from your team has already activated your server,
  ask them to create a [team](/account/teams) and invite you to it so you can manage it together.
