Launching and improving your first channel

Choose an observable channel

Start where requests are frequent enough to learn from but controlled enough to support careful review.

Plan a review period

Decide who reviews answers, handoffs, and unresolved cases. Record missing sources and rules that produce an unexpected outcome.

Improve in small steps

Change one source or rule at a time. This makes it easier to connect each change to its effect and reverse it when necessary.

Expand with evidence

Add another request type or channel when the team understands the current operation and knows how to handle exceptions.

Steps in the application

1. Choose an inbox and check its members and available working hours.
2. Send a demonstration request and check receipt and assignment.
3. If using a Web campaign, define its conditions and test triggering before activation.
4. Check replies, errors and handoffs before expanding use or connecting another channel.

Visible options depend on role, enabled features and plan. If an option is missing, ask an administrator to check account entitlements.
