# Creating a Mochi Flow
Set up your first Mochi flow in three easy steps!

### 𧩠Step 1: When a User...
This is your **Event Trigger**. the moment that sets your Flow in motion.
**Examples of events you can choose:**
* π¬ Sends a message
* ποΈ Deletes or edits a message
* 𧩠Clicks a component (like a button)
* π Gains or loses a role
* π Joins or leaves a voice channel
* 𧡠Creates a thread
* π Joins the server
Pick the one that best fits your idea.

π‘ *Tip:* Think of this as the βWhen this happensβ¦β part of your automation.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### βοΈ Step 2: If Conditions Are Fulfilled
**Conditions** define *when* and *where* your Flow actually runs, perfect for narrowing things down.
**You can add conditions such as:**
* π It happens in specific **channels or categories**
* π¨οΈ The message **includes certain words or phrases**
* π« The message **does not include certain words**
* π§ The member **has (or doesnβt have) certain roles**
* π° The member **has a minimum balance or level**
* π The Flow **is not on cooldown**
{% hint style="success" %}
π‘ **New:** Add **cooldowns** under the Conditions tab β per member or server-wide.\
This helps prevent actions from triggering too often, keeping your Flows balanced and smooth.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### π¬ Step 3: Do Actions
Now you decide what happens once your conditions are met β this is where your Flow *comes alive.*
**You can make Mochi perform actions like:**
* π Send or reply with a message
* π Resend the message in another channel
* ποΈ Delete the original message
* π React with emojis
* ποΈ Give or remove roles
* π Give XP, currency, or items
* 𧡠Start a thread from the message
Combine multiple actions to create something fun and interactive β like auto-replies, reward chains, or celebration messages.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
### π Youβre Ready to Flow!
Once everything looks good, hit the **Save** button.\
Your Flow is now live β ready to make magic in your server.
