Messaging channels

Use this page to deploy an agent to external messaging channels after Agent chat is working.

Agent chat is the recommended first deployment path. Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord are optional channels for users who need agent access in existing chat tools.

Before you start

Make sure you have:

  • A working Agents config
  • A saved agent with a connected AI model
  • An agent set to Live
  • Agent chat already validated in App Portal

Recommended rollout order

  1. Enable and test Agent chat
  2. Configure one external channel
  3. Run end-to-end tests in that channel
  4. Add additional channels only after the first is stable
