# Deploy to a channel

> Assign an Agent Build to a channel environment for Conversational Agent Graphs.

Use **Deploy to Channel** for **Conversational** Agent Graphs on WhatsApp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, web chat, Twilio voice, email, and similar messaging surfaces.

<Note>
  Connect the channel in **Integrations** before deploying. Each channel generates **DEV**, **UAT**, and **PROD** webhook URLs — assign your build per environment as you promote.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

1. A **Saved** Agent Graph with at least one **Agent Build** ([Builds overview](/builds/overview)).
2. Channel credentials configured under workspace **Integrations** → **Channels** (or Studio → **Integrations** → Channels).
3. **Env. variables** set for the target environment if the graph or tools require secrets ([Build environments](/builds/environments)).

## Deploy to a channel

1. Open **Graph Studio** for the Conversational Agent Graph.
2. Connect the channel if you have not already:
   1. Workspace **Integrations** → **Channels** → pick the channel type ([Supported channels](/channels/supported)).
   2. Complete credential and webhook fields for **Development** first.
3. Click **Deploy** → **Deploy to Channel**.
4. Select the channel integration and **environment** (start with **DEV**).
5. Assign the **Agent Build** so inbound messages run that exact pinned snapshot.
6. Copy the environment-specific webhook URL into the provider (Slack Event Subscriptions, Teams messaging endpoint, etc.) if not already linked.
7. Send a test message on the channel; verify the run in [Observability logs](/observability/logs).
8. Promote the build assignment to **UAT** / **PROD** when validated.
