# Set up Announcement Channel

In this quick guide, you will learn how to set up an announcement channel.

Announcing someone's birthday is going to be hard to do if the Birthdayy bot doesn't have an assigned Announcement channel to use. To successfully add a designated location for the celebration message to show, the owner of the server can use the ***/config announcement*** command and then choose the channel they wish to use.

Once the command is used, on the day of someone's birthday, a reminder/celebration message should appear on the specific channel.
