# Getting Started

Invite Bot

*** ## ๐Ÿš€ Getting Started with Elysium Bot Welcome to Elysium! This guide will walk you through adding the bot to your server, setting up basic features, and getting comfortable with your first few commands. *** ### โœจ What Youโ€™ll Need Before using Elysium, make sure you have: * A Discord server (where you have `Manage Server` permissions) * A love for books, growth, or journaling (optional but highly encouraged ๐Ÿฅฐ) *** ### โž• Invite Elysium to Your Server {% hint style="info" %} Use the button at the top of the page to invite Elysium {% endhint %} Make sure to grant the bot the necessary permissions during the invite flow. It needs: * `Send Messages` * `Embed Links` * `Use Slash Commands` * `Manage Messages` (for reminders and cleanups) * `Add Reactions` (for interactive features) *** ### ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Initial Setup Tips After inviting Elysium, here are a few helpful things to do right away: #### ๐Ÿชž Set Up Your Profile Start by introducing yourself to the bot with: ``` /profile set ``` Or use `/profile edit` to add just a few details at a time! *** #### ๐Ÿ“š Add a Book to Your Inventory If youโ€™re tracking books globally with others: ``` /inventory addbook ``` *** #### ๐ŸŒฑ Create a Habit Build a daily or weekly habit tracker: ``` /habit add ``` This will open a button-based modal to get you started. *** #### ๐Ÿ““ Start a Journal Entry Get thoughts out of your head and into a safe space: ``` /journal add ``` View them any time with `/journal list`. It will send to your DMs so make sure the bot can message you. *** #### ๐Ÿ˜„ Log Your Mood Check in with how youโ€™re feeling using: ``` /mood log ``` Choose a mood, tag an activity, and optionally add a note! *** ### ๐Ÿ“Œ Optional: Set a Channel Want sprint announcements or giftlist pings in a specific place? Use: ``` /channel set sprints /channel set gifts ``` *** ### โฐ Set Up Reminders Elysium can send personal reminders for reading, moods, habits, or anything else! Try: ``` /reminders set [text] ``` You can also set `/reminders timezone` to make sure it's correct for your location. *** ### ๐Ÿง  Helpful Tips * Use `/help` to get an embed with an overview of the botโ€™s features. * Donโ€™t include `< >` or `[ ]` in your commands โ€” just input the values! * All features work in DMs *unless noted otherwise* (some require server channel setup). * Most commands give you modals, dropdowns, or buttons to guide you. *** ### ๐Ÿ’ฌ Still Stuck? No worries! Head over to the [**Troubleshooting**](https://asterias-moons.gitbook.io/elysium-bot/troubleshooting) section, or use: ``` /report ``` to send feedback or ask for help directly. *** ### ๐Ÿ’– Join the Support Server Need help?
