# Setting up Discord Output

This guide will walk you through obtaining a Webhook URL for a Discord channel to enable Discord alerts with Brist. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can only forward Brist alerts to a channel if you're an admin of the server. If you don't currently have a server, you can create one by following the instructions [here](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/204849977-How-do-I-create-a-server-)
{% endhint %}

1. Identify the channel you'd like Brist to post to, and click on the settings icon on the right side (the tooltip should say "Edit Channel").
