# 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").

![Find your channel on the left side of the Discord client.](https://4074459715-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDuEIe1RiqxEMHjbyhQYC%2Fuploads%2Fd5KiEmJGQILKzumVSjOF%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=72a36b27-3188-4962-a6a7-a64f97406139)

2\. Navigate to the "Integrations" tab, then click "Webhooks"

3\. Click "New Webhook." Name your webhook "Brist," and ensure that the selected channel is the one you want Brist to post to.

4\. Finally, click "Copy Webhook URL" and paste it into the "Discord Webhook URL" field in the Brist Action edit screen. Make sure to save your action once you're done!
