# Setting up confessions

This page guides you through the process of setting up confessions.

Firstly [add Sly to your server](https://dsc.gg/slybot) if you haven't already.

### Setting up confessions

{% hint style="warning" %}
You need **`MANAGE_SERVER`** permissions in your server
{% endhint %}

Use the following command in your server

```
sly setup-confessions
```

The bot will ask you for the channel in which you want to setup the confessions. This channel is where all the confessions will be posted. Mention the channel, and the bot will setup the confessions.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Make sure the bot has **`SEND_MESSAGES, EMBED_LINKS`** and **`READ_MESSAGES`** permission in that channel or confessions won't work.
{% endhint %}

You should see message like this:

Read it because it's highly useful for moderators in maintaining confessions!
