Creating & Editing Pins
After opening /setup, creating or editing pins is straightforward. You can fully customize your messages, ensuring they fit your server style.
Open /setup and select Create a new Pin.
Choose message type:
Text — a simple single message box.
Embed — allows title, description, footer, and hex color (e.g., #ECC3D).
Select one or multiple channels where the pin will appear.
(Optional) Add up to 5 custom buttons with labels and URLs.
(Optional) Set a sticky delay (1–15 seconds) for how fast the message reposts.
(Optional) Preview your pin to ensure it looks perfect before saving.
Save or export your pin; it activates immediately in your server.
To edit a pin, select Edit a Pin in /setup, make your changes, and save. If you encounter issues, our support server is always ready to assist.

FAQ & Tips
Here are some common questions we receive from users:
Q: Can PinPal replace my pin archive bot?
A: No, PinPal focuses on sticky messages, not pin storage. Use PinPal for visibility, not archiving.

A: 100 per server, completely free.
Q: What if a pin doesn't appear?
