# Deploying a Chatbot

To deploy the chatbot, you can follow the following steps;

* Channel Configuration: 

  First and foremost you will need to configure the channel for which the bot is built. To configure the channel, you can go to '**Channel Configuration**' & select the channel
* Go to '**Bot Builder**'
* '**Switch On**' the bot you wish to deploy
* '**Open**' on the bot you want to deploy
* Click on '**Deploy**' at the top right corner
