# Create your Community on Domino

***

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisites**

* You need a Domino account
* Basic understanding of your community goals and branding
  {% endhint %}

### Overview

Communities in Domino serve as organizational containers for your campaigns, [quests](https://docs.domino.run/docs/quest-management/launching-your-first-quest), and [automations](https://docs.domino.run/docs/automations/building-your-first-automation). Each community can have its own branding, social connections, and API tokens, allowing you to manage multiple projects or client communities from a single Domino account.

### Creating Your First Community

When you first access quest-related features in Domino, you'll be guided through an onboarding flow that begins with community creation.

#### Community Setup Details

During community creation, you'll provide:

* **Name**: Your community's display name
* **Slug**: Used in URLs for your community (automatically generated from name but can be customized)
* **Description**: A brief explanation of your community's purpose
* **Image**: Upload a logo or avatar to represent your community

{% hint style="success" %}
After completing the onboarding process, you'll have a fully functioning community with your first [quest](https://docs.domino.run/docs/quest-management/launching-your-first-quest) already launched and ready for participants.
{% endhint %}

### Accessing Your Communities

All your communities are accessible from the Domino sidebar.

#### Community Picker

When you have multiple communities, a community picker appears in the sidebar under the Quests section, allowing you to quickly switch between communities.

<figure><img src="https://1542229437-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fu8TrWRyvdpP97AjvHh9W%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a997d3f91c0b0106b2e6a8025051ed44e65df954%2Fscreenshot%20(12).png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>The community picker in the sidebar appears when you have multiple communities</em></p></figcaption></figure>

#### Communities Management Page

To view all your communities or create new ones:

1. Click on **Communities** in the sidebar under the Quests section
2. This takes you to a dashboard where you can see all your communities
3. Use the **Create Community** button to add new ones

### Managing Community Details

Each community has its own details page where you can customize settings.

#### Updating Basic Information

In the **Details** tab, you can modify your community's core information:

* **Change Logo**: Click the "Change" button under your community image
* **Update Name**: Modify your community's display name
* **Edit Slug**: Customize the URL path for your community
* **Revise Description**: Update the description to better reflect your community's purpose

<figure><img src="https://1542229437-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fu8TrWRyvdpP97AjvHh9W%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-102fb05d8b02e6304aa09c2253c4b460fe59c92b%2Fscreenshot%20(13).png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>The Details tab allows you to customize your community's basic information</em></p></figcaption></figure>

#### Connecting Social Accounts

The **Socials** tab enables you to link various social platforms to your community.

{% hint style="info" %}
Connecting social accounts unlocks additional [quest types](https://docs.domino.run/docs/quest-management/launching-your-first-quest) and enables publishing to more platforms, expanding your community engagement options.
{% endhint %}

Connect any of the following platforms:

* **Zealy**: Link your Zealy community
* **Twitter**: Connect your Twitter/X account
* **Discord**: Link your Discord server
* **Telegram**: Connect your Telegram group

<figure><img src="https://1542229437-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fu8TrWRyvdpP97AjvHh9W%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ede1ac6e38e0b99e8e8b1db438c4c8b303abd9b2%2Fscreenshot%20(14).png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>Connect various social platforms to unlock additional quest types</em></p></figcaption></figure>

### Advanced Community Management

#### Managing API Tokens

The **Advanced** tab provides options for creating and managing API tokens:

1. Click **Create API Token** and provide a name for your token
2. Save the generated token in a secure location (it will only be shown once)
3. Use the token to access your community's data from external applications

{% hint style="warning" %}
API tokens provide complete access to your community's data. Safeguard them carefully and regenerate or delete tokens if they may have been compromised.
{% endhint %}

#### Community Deletion

If you need to remove a community:

1. Navigate to the **Advanced** tab
2. Locate the "Danger Zone" section
3. Click **Delete Community** and confirm your decision

{% hint style="danger" %}
Deleting a community permanently removes all associated data including quests, automations, and settings. This action cannot be undone.
{% endhint %}

### Managing Multiple Communities

Domino allows you to create unlimited communities, making it ideal for agencies or organizations managing multiple projects.

#### Creating Additional Communities

To add another community:

1. Navigate to the **Communities** section in the sidebar
2. Click **Create Community** button
3. Follow the same setup process as your first community

#### Switching Between Communities

Once you have multiple communities:

1. Use the community picker in the sidebar under the Quests section
2. Select the community you wish to manage
3. The entire dashboard will update to display that community's data

{% hint style="success" %}
Each community operates independently with its own [quests](https://docs.domino.run/docs/quest-management/launching-your-first-quest), [automations](https://docs.domino.run/docs/automations/building-your-first-automation), and settings, allowing you to maintain separate branding and engagement strategies for different projects.
{% endhint %}

### Use Cases for Multiple Communities

Consider creating separate communities for:

* Different client projects (agencies)
* Separate product lines or brands
* Communities in different languages
* Testing environments before deploying to production
* Segmenting user groups (e.g., developers vs. general users)

### Troubleshooting

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Common Issues**

* **Slug already in use**: Try a different slug as they must be unique across Domino
* **Social connection failures**: Ensure you're connecting with accounts that have appropriate permissions
* **Changes not saving**: Check your internet connection and try again
