# Custom Events

## How many custom events can I make?

You can make up to 500 custom events!

## What is the event channel?

The event channel is where messages for custom events are sent.

## Should we set a year for our custom event?

That depends. If you give a year for your custom event, the bot will only celebrate it for that year. So, if your custom event is specific to a certain year, yes. However, if you want your custom event to be celebrated every year, no, you shouldn't.

## How do I edit a custom event's message?

In the `/event view` command it will show a message alias along with a break down of the event's custom message.

To edit anything about the message, use the typical `/message edit` command and give it the alias you got from the `/event view` command.
