When triggered, the Pin a Message action pins a message associated with the command or event it is used in. This will also trigger a system message in the channel showing that a message has been pinned.

## Response Action

In this section, you can manage which message the bot will pin. You can select from a dropdown that will display the bot's messages, as well as any related to the event, if applicable. The selected message will be highlighted in red.&#x20;
