# How to add a channel

Go to [inbox.messagebird.com](http://inbox.messagebird.com), click on **+ Channel** on the top-right corner of your screen.

Under [**My channels**](https://inbox.messagebird.com/manager/channels)**,** you’ll see a list of the channels that are already installed. Below **Add new channel**, you’ll see a list of the available channels:

* Click on the channel you wish to add to Inbox.
* A new tab will open with the specific instructions for installing that channel.
* Fill in the form and click on **Install now** when you’re finished. 
* That’s it! Your channel is ready to use in Inbox—we'll automatically add flows for your installed channels in Flow Builder. When you go back to [**My Channels**](https://inbox.messagebird.com/manager/channels), you’ll see the newly installed channel after refreshing the page.<br>

Once this has been completed, please test your channels to make sure they are creating conversations/tickets in Inbox. If they aren't, please refer to the article [How to connect and disconnect a channel from Inbox](https://docs.bird.com/connectivity-platform/installing-channels/how-to-connect-and-disconnect-a-channel-from-inbox).
