# Quick Start

You can find your target Bot through the platform's Discover page or via the search function at the top. If there isn't a Bot that meets your needs, you can create a new one yourself.

### How to configure a Bot?

Based on ChainBot's definition of a Bot, here's what we should do:

1. [Set the alert notification channel for your account](https://github.com/ChainbotAI/doc-en/blob/master/broken-reference/README.md)
2. [Choose the category for Bot monitoring](https://docs.chainbot.io/basic-usage/bots)
3. Configure the data source for Bot monitoring (supported data sources are listed within the various types of Bots)
4. [Set the required contract information for the Bot (if necessary)](https://docs.chainbot.io/basic-usage/contracts-mange)
5. [Set the trigger conditions for Bot monitoring alerts (Condition(s))](https://docs.chainbot.io/advanced-features/conditions-description)
6. [Modify the default alert template for Bot monitoring based on current needs](https://docs.chainbot.io/advanced-features/alarm-notification-template)
7. [After creating the Bot monitoring, subscribe to the notifications for that Bot](https://docs.chainbot.io/basic-usage/subs)
