Introduction
You will have created a marketing channel as part of the registration and onboarding process. To see and manage your marketing channel:
- Go to Account in the navigation header and click Account Details.
- Click the Channels tab.
The Channels tab displays each channel’s name, SID, contact person, and whether its status is active or deactivated. Check the box next to Hide deactivated channels to view active channels only. If you want to create a new channel, click Add channel.
Note
You must have specific user permissions to access the Channels tab, manage existing channels, and add new channels.
Channel Details Page
You can access a channel’s details page from the Channels tab by clicking its name. The channel details page lets you view and update your channel’s profile information. The progress bar on the left indicates how much of your profile is complete.
You can use the navigation menu under the progress bar or scroll through the page to find and enter information for the below sections. As you make updates, click the Save button to avoid losing your progress.
