Before you start: An account with the channel provider.
Choose the easiest first
Telegram is free and needs no app review: create a bot with @BotFather and paste its token under Channels → Telegram. Email needs only an address name.
Meta channels
Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram use a Meta app: you supply page or account IDs and access tokens from Meta. WhatsApp also needs a verified WhatsApp Business number. Those are set up with Meta, not in Anchor.
After connecting
Conversations from every channel appear in Conversations. Test each channel with a real message before announcing it.
Part of: Customer support with Anchor
