# Distribution Channels

Distribution channels publish the selected Agent for a specific audience or use case. Open **Channels** from the sidebar to view, create, edit, or delete channels.

## Create a channel

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select an Agent">
    Choose the Agent that the channel will publish.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Channels">
    Go to `/channels` and select **New channel**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name and choose a type">
    Enter a channel name, then select one of the available channel types.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure and save">
    Complete the controls shown for that channel. After saving, the channel appears with its channel ID and edit and delete controls.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The creation dialog currently supports **B-Bot Chat**, **Embed**, **API**, **Tasks**, and **Template**. **Twilio**, **n8n**, and **Zapier** are visible as coming soon and cannot be selected.

## B-Bot Chat

B-Bot Chat publishes the Agent in B-Bot Chat. Its visibility controls are:

* **Company only**, which limits access to one company.
* **Company**, which selects that company when company-only access is enabled.

If no companies are available, company-only access is disabled.

## Embed

Embed creates a website experience and provides a live preview and generated code after the channel is saved.

You can configure:

* System tools: **Memory Search**, **Web Search**, **File Manager / Upload**, **Workspace Tools**, and **Task Scheduler**.
* Whether tool calls are shown.
* **Blank** or **Bubble** embed style.
* Theme color.
* A Lucide header icon.
* A custom image URL for the bubble launcher.
* Optional password protection.

Save the channel before using its preview or copying its generated embed code. Edit the channel later to change these settings.

## API

The API channel exposes the Agent for programmatic use. The channel dialog controls which knowledge write actions are disabled:

* Edit single line
* Edit multiple lines
* Create document

The dialog does not display or generate example API endpoints. Use the API reference provided for your deployment when implementing a client.

## Tasks

The Tasks channel distributes the Agent to task execution. The current channel dialog has no additional Tasks-specific controls.

See [Tasks](/essentials/tasks) for task setup and operation.

## Template

Template publishes the Agent as a reusable template. Configure:

* A template category.
* Whether the template is marked as featured.

The dialog also lists the Agent's connected apps so you can review the resources associated with the template.

## Manage existing channels

Each saved channel card shows its name, type, and channel ID. You can copy the ID, edit the channel, or delete it. Embed channels also provide a shortcut to copy the generated embed code.
