# Create Channel

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before create Channel, make sure you have a agent. You can see this section for [Create Agent](/deka-claw/detail-deka-claw/agent/create-agent.md). 
{% endhint %}

The **Create Channel** feature is used to set up a new connection between Deka Claw and a communication platform (such as Telegram), allowing bots or agents to interact with users through that channel.

To create a Channel, click the **+ Create Channel** button
