# Pin a Message
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.

Below is an example of a simple command that sends a [Plain Text Reply](/custom-commands-and-events/actions/legacy-reply-actions/plain-text-reply.md) and pins it.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://documentation.botghost.com/custom-commands-and-events/actions/message-actions/pin-a-message.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
