# 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](https://documentation.botghost.com/custom-commands-and-events/actions/legacy-reply-actions/plain-text-reply "mention") and pins it.
