# Why is Rick not responding?

Make sure to set up the role colour ⚠ and permissions (don’t forget **channel permissions** , if this is a private channel). If this is not set up correctly, only slash commands are available to use.

## 1. Role Colour

> [!warning] This is **required** ; without the correct role colour, Rick does **not** respond to dot `.` commands.

1. Did you set [the role colour](https://talk.markets/t/setting-up-rick-in-discord/1075#p-5193-activation-1) to `#B0F646`?
2. Is this coloured role the **highest** role Rick has?

 ![The coloured role should be on the left (highest role)](https://talk.markets/uploads/default/original/2X/9/96aea9dec34e436efc4d9004002ad81b1efa6e88.png)

> [!note] Note that the colored role needs to be Rick’s highest (most to the left) role in the hierarchy.

## 2. Permissions

Make sure that Rick has [all required permissions](https://talk.markets/t/setting-up-rick-in-discord/1075#p-5193-required-permissions-3) for the channels you want to use Rick in.

If the bot **does not** respond to `.help`, Rick does **not see** the channel messages or is **not allowed to send** messages in the channel.

## 3. Ping the bot

If you think Rick is down, you can use `.wubba` to ping the bot. Alternatively, you can use `/zap` - this also shows you what universe 🪐 your server lives on! Also see: [The bot is slow or unresponsive](https://talk.markets/t/the-bot-is-slow-or-unresponsive/3875)

# Why does Rick react with a trashcan emoji?

The user that ran the command can click the trashcan 🗑 emoji to delete the response.

# Why does Rick respond in threads?

If you reply to an earlier message, Rick responds in a thread (if he has the permissions to). This is useful if you want to isolate the AI context from the main channel. If you don’t want this, simply remove the `Create Public Threads & Send Messages in Threads` from Rick’s channel [permissions](https://talk.markets/t/setting-up-rick-in-discord/1075#p-5193-required-permissions-3).
