# Channels

Channels let you deploy your Text Agent to the platforms where your customers communicate. Once connected, your agent will handle conversations automatically using the instructions and knowledge you've configured.

You can access channels in two ways:

* **From the sidebar** — Expand **Text Agents** in the left sidebar and click **Channels**. This opens a centralized view where you can manage all your WhatsApp lines and widget connections across agents.
* **From inside an agent** — Open any Text Agent and navigate to the **Channels** tab at the top of the page.
