## Setup sources

Example: You need to post your server invite link on your twitter bio and you want to know who comes from this link.

{% hint style="danger" %}
You need to create an unique invite code for each sources.
{% endhint %}

#### 1- Create your source&#x20;

Firstly you have to create an invite link which will be dedicated to this source.&#x20;

Then run the `/sources add <name:SourceNameHere> <code:inviteCodeHere> <give-role: yes | no> [description:Description of the source]`&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
If you've chosen to give a role, please ensure the bot has correct permissions to manage roles and its own role is higher than the role to give
{% endhint %}

#### 2- Setup the source in your join message

Edit your join message to add the `{sourceMessage}` placeholder which will be replaced by the source message&#x20;
