## Connection <a href="#connect" id="connect"></a>

When you're setting up your first workflow with Discord, you'll need to connect your Discord account with MESA.

Click on the **Connect with Discord** button to begin the process.

You will then see this screen that allows you to select the server you are connecting to. Select the **Server** and click **Continue.**

If you see this error after clicking "**Connect with Discord**" in MESA, you will need to verify your account. Another reason could be that you need a private server before authenticating with the MESA app.
