# Proxies

{% embed url="<https://modrinth.com/mod/switchy-proxy>" %}

## General Use

Proxies allow for assigning messages to any preset you have built using simple formatting. This means that you do not need to switch presets to send a chat message from a different preset

## How To

`/switchy proxy add [preset] [pattern]`&#x20;

This command will assign a keyword trigger to a profile allowing for sending messages from that profile without switching to the profile directly

* First, choose a "preset" to attach the pattern to .Your presets are the larger profiles that you created earlier in this chapter.
* Next,  create a "pattern" to trigger your proxy.  You must include the phrase "text" in your pattern for the server to properly recognize the formatting. There are 3 different ways you can configure your proxy trigger.&#x20;
* Before: `/switchy proxy add willow w:text`
* After `/switchy proxy add willow text:w`
* Both Sides: `/switchy proxy add willow w:text:w`&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note: Any text can be your proxy trigger. Whatever you put around the phrase "text" in the command will be read as the neccessary trigger
