# Adding an Entire Category of Channels

#### Command

Use the following command to add an entire category:

```
$monitor addcategory <categoryname> <type>
```

#### Parameters

* **categoryname** — The name of the Discord category.
* **type** — Can be:
  * `monitor`
  * `normal`\
    (These correspond to the same types used in the app.)

⚠️ **Important:**\
Make sure the category name is **one word** when adding it (for example `shopify-monitors`).\
You can rename the category back afterward if needed.

#### Examples

```
$monitor addcategory shopify-monitors monitor
$monitor addcategory announcements normal
```

#### How Notifications Work

* Moonitor automatically **detects links** in embeds or messages.
* If a **link is detected**, clicking the notification will **open the link directly**.
* If **no link is detected**, the notification will **open the Discord channel instead**.
