# Setting a Category Channel (Parroting)

[ **Parrotting by default only parrot moonitor own restock notification, if u'd like to parrot other sources instead, or parrot a scraper please use our Channel Parrot instead.** ](/monitoring-commands/channel-parrotting-new.md)\
\
[AllShopify](/monitoring-commands/monitor-an-entire-shopify-store-for-restocks-new-items.md) channels are not filitered to kw channels by default, to change this behaviour run the `$monitor filterallshopify` command.\
\
You can set a Category channel (I.E channel for consoles/pools/cards/etc.) by using `setkwchannel` ,\
for example \
`$monitor setkeywordchannel #consoles +playstation +xbox -4`

will send to #consoles all pings that contains either `playstation` or `xbox` in the name, but does not contain `4` in the name.

## Show all keyword under a channel

To show keyword under a channel run `$monitor showkeywordchannel` [Channel Parrotting (New)](/monitoring-commands/channel-parrotting-new.md)

## Remove under a channel

To show keyword under a channel run `$monitor removekeywordchannel #channel +kw1 +kw2 ...`

## Reset a Category Channel

To reset a Category channel run `$monitor resetkeywordchannel #channel`

## Adding a URL Filtering rule to a keyword

We can add additional filter on our keywords, adding `+partofurl` after our keyword, 

for example `$monitor setkeywordchannel #funko-official +funko+funko.com`

would only send pings containing the keyword `funko` to `#funko-official` only if their url has `funko.com`
