Supported channels
Channel allows end-users to interact with the bot
By default, your Bot is unavailable to users unless you define one or more channels through which it can communicate. So, after creating a Bot, you can add delivery channels that end-users can use to access and interact with it. SentiOne Automate provides many built-in connectors to connect the most common messaging and voice channels.
