### Step 1: Invite Boiler to Your Discord Server

To unleash the full potential of Boiler for your community, start by inviting the bot to your Discord server. Once invited, Boiler will automatically create a dedicated "boiler-setup" channel where you and your members can easily interact with the bot.

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Step 2: The "boiler-setup" Channel&#x20;

The "boiler-setup" channel created by Boiler serves as a user-friendly hub for easy interaction. Utilize the pre-configured message in the channel to guide you and your members through Boiler's features without the need for extensive command knowledge.&#x20;

### Step 3: Seamless Branding and Customization&#x20;

Tailor the Boiler experience to align with your brand's identity. Customize messaging to create a cohesive and immersive experience that resonates with your community. Showcase your unique style and make Boiler an extension of your brand.

### Step 4: Create Access Lists and Raffles [(Guide)](/bot/creator-section/access-lists-and-raffles.md)

Empower your community with exclusive access lists and raffles. Define specific requirements, both on-chain and off-chain, such as owning specific NFTs or engaging with social media content. Use Boiler to easily manage and administer these lists, offering unique opportunities and rewards to your members.

### Step 5: Assign Discord Roles with Ease [(Guide)](/bot/creator-section/assign-discord-roles.md)&#x20;

Enhance community engagement by assigning Discord roles based on NFT ownership. With Boiler, you can automatically assign roles to members who hold specific NFTs, giving them special recognition and privileges within your Discord server. Strengthen the connection between your community and their NFT holdings.

### Step 6: POAP Claims Made Simple [(Guide)](/bot/creator-section/claim-poap.md)&#x20;

Streamline the process of distributing Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) badges within your Discord server. Utilize Boiler to create and manage POAP claims directly on Discord. Reward your members for attending events, participating in discussions, or meeting specific criteria. Foster a sense of community and acknowledge their contributions.

### Step 7: Share Lens Publications

Harness the power of Boiler to amplify your reach and share your Lens publications directly on Discord. Seamlessly broadcast your latest creations, updates, and announcements to your community, all without leaving the Discord platform. \
Engage with your audience, spark discussions, and gather feedback effortlessly, ensuring your content reaches the right audience at the right time.
