# Configuration in Discord: creation of a server

To integrate Pandora FMS with Discord you need [a server and a channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P656zPuXXCs), in this case a text channel. Although you can use a server that you already have, here it is explained the creation of one: in the left sidebar locate the Add server button and it will open a small assistant that will inquire the purpose of the new server.

Set a server name (mandatory) and an identifying image (optional):

For practical purposes it is better to have an exclusive channel for Pandora FMS alerts, although you can use one you already have. To create a **text channel** click on the "+" button that accompanies the statement:

Enter a suitable name for the new text channel:

Remember to send an invitation to the server and channel to the people who make up your work department.
