# Global Chat

ServerMate is the best way to connect your discord server's chat to another server with the most simple set-up ever! :wink:\
\
Follow this simple step-by-step guide and you will be all set up and ready to have a chat with your fellow servers!

{% hint style="danger" %}
**We are currently having issues with the Global Chat part of ServerMate**, this service may have *regular downtimes* until we are able to resolve this issue
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please remember to follow our [rules](/servermate/info/terms.md) when talking in global chat!
{% endhint %}

## Step-by-step

### 1. Create a channel called `#global-chat` in your server

This channel will act as the send/receive location for all messages in ServerMate's global chat log

### 2. Chat!

Yes, it's that simple! Send a message and it should be seen by all of the servers with the `#global-chat` channel! When someone sends something from another server, ServerMate will post in the channel with the messages from the other server! 

{% hint style="info" %}
Here is how messages from other servers look like:\
\
`Server Name`: **Username**: Message
{% endhint %}

**Well,** now you know how to chat globally, why not apply for verification on our discord server? It's free and gives you a small tick next to your username in chat! Join our discord server and fill the form out [here](https://invite.gg/db)!

## Common errors

Your message is not seen in other servers and you cant see incoming messages: You have not enabled the `Administrator` permission for ServerMate in your server, or you may just need to wait a few minutes for your message to send to all of the correct servers!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://devlinbots.gitbook.io/servermate/discontinued/global.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
