Is this a correct way to introduce myself?

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Khyatee, mais je me fais appeler Kat.

I believe it's right but I'm not sure how to specify that Kat is a nickname/preferred name.

This question relates to:French lesson "Saying your name with Je m'appelle/Tu t'appelles/Vous vous appelez"

I guess that would work. Your question reminded me of a YT video "Arrêtez de dire "JE M'APPELLE..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN9NEPm5kT8.

"Mon nom est Khyatee mais vous pouvez m'appeler Kat." would be perhaps a slightly more elegant way to introduce your "surnom". I guess "... tu peux m'appeler Kat." would work in a less formal setting.
