Join the support Discord

The first step is to join the support Discord server. This is a great place to ask for help, and it also gives the bot the ability to DM you. If you do not join the support server, you will be unable to receive notifications!

Once you have joined the support server, you can proceed to the next step.

Install the browser extension

The browser extension is currently available for Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Opera, Brave, etc.), Firefox, and Edge. Once you've installed the extension, proceed to the next step.

Connect your Discord account

In order for the extension to communicate with the Discord bot, you need to connect your Discord account. The only personal information exchanged in this process is your Discord username, ID, and avatar.

First, open the extension list. The best way to do this is to click the puzzle piece at the top right of your browser.
