## How do I enable Slash Commands for Eventcord on my server?

When the Slash Command update for Eventcord was published, the bot attempted to generate commands for every server. Eventcord uses guild-based slash command instead of global commands to allow for localization. If you do not see any slash commands, try using **<@480889253165793290>setup slash**. If you receive an error, try reauthorizing the bot by using the invite link.

## Slash Commands are not responding

Eventcord started using slash commands before Discord created a multi-lingual feature for them. As such, Eventcord uses server slash command which only work for your server in your specified language. There may be a disagreement between the generated slash commands and what Eventcord accepts due to this. Use **<@480889253165793290>setup slash** to regenerate commands for your server.
