# Mochi Setup Checklist

Before your members ever send a message, you’re already shaping their experience. Mochi gives you the tools — but first, we need to give her a proper space to work.

Think of this as your server’s onboarding system. These four steps are your starting point — they sync your systems, define your economy, and give Mochi the access she needs to help you run a more efficient, fun, and safe community.

We’ll guide you through each one — what it is, why it matters, and how to do it.

Here are your first 4 steps:1

#### [<mark style="color:purple;">Add Mochi to Your Server</mark>](/getting-started/mochi-setup-checklist/add-mochi-to-your-server.md)

* Invite Mochi using her official link and grant her the permissions she needs to function properly.
* You can always review or adjust these later under <mark style="color:purple;">**Server Settings**</mark> *→* <mark style="color:purple;">**Integrations**</mark> *→* <mark style="color:purple;">**Mochi**</mark>***.***
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### [<mark style="color:purple;">Set Your</mark> <mark style="color:purple;">Server’s Time Zone</mark>](/getting-started/mochi-setup-checklist/set-your-servers-time-zone.md)

To make sure Mochi posts alerts, reminders, and updates at the right time for your community, set your server’s time zone in the Mochi dashboard.

{% hint style="success" %}

## Important: &#x20;

This ensures daily rewards, birthday events, and reminders appear at the **correct local time**.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### [<mark style="color:purple;">Customize Your Currency</mark>](/getting-started/mochi-setup-checklist/customize-your-currency.md)

* Give your community its own identity!
* Name your server’s currency, choose an icon, and set up a **currency log channel** for transparency and tracking.

🪙 Example: <mark style="color:purple;">`Star Coins`</mark>, <mark style="color:purple;">`Mochi Gems`</mark>, or anything that fits your servers aesthetic or vibe.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### [<mark style="color:purple;">Configure Your Dashboard</mark>](/getting-started/mochi-setup-checklist/configure-the-mochi-dashboard.md)

The dashboard is where you control Mochi’s features. Enable or disable commands, assign which roles can use them, and restrict channels to keep things organized.

{% hint style="info" %}

### 💡 Tip: Use the search bar to quickly find commands or toggle categories on and off.

#### <mark style="color:purple;">Important: How to Read Commands</mark>

Here’s a cheatsheet to help you understand the command examples in this guide:

* <mark style="color:purple;">**Slash**</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;">`(/)`</mark> — Start any command by typing a slash. (like <mark style="color:$primary;">`/setup`</mark>).
* <mark style="color:purple;">**Curly Braces**</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;">`{ }`</mark> — These show where you should type your own words or names. For example, <mark style="color:$primary;">`{channel-name}`</mark> means you replace that with your actual channel’s name.
* <mark style="color:purple;">**Square Brackets**</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;">`[ ]`</mark> — These show options or numbers you can choose from. For example, \[1-10] tells Mochi that she can pick any random number between 1 and 10.

{% hint style="info" %}

### 💡 Tip: You can always type <mark style="color:$primary;">`/`</mark> in Discord to see all available Mochi commands and their descriptions.
