# Creating a Channel

Click **“New Channel”** to begin the configuration process.\
Each channel type requires a slightly different setup flow, depending on the external platform.

| **Name**                         | Internal name used to identify the channel in the CRM list.                                       |
| **Description**                  | Optional internal note for context or control.                                                    |
| **Channel Responder**            | Defines which Agent or Squad will handle the conversations from this channel.                     |
| **Customized Prompt (optional)** | Overrides the Agent’s main prompt, applying a custom instruction only for this channel.           |
| **Delay to Answer**              | Sets a delay (in seconds) before the Agent responds to a user message.                            |

## **Channel Management**

Once created, channels are displayed in the **Channels Dashboard**.

| Action                     | Description                                                      |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Toggle Active/Inactive** | Enables or disables message routing for the selected channel.    |
| **Edit Settings**          | Opens the configuration modal to modify responder or prompt.     |
| **View Configuration**     | For Widget channels, shows embed code and customization options. |
| **Delete Channel**         | Permanently removes the channel and its routing link.            |

Each active channel is monitored automatically, ensuring continuous connectivity and message delivery.\
If authentication expires (e.g., expired WhatsApp token), the channel status will display as inactive until reconnected.
