# Creating a Channel

As a reminder, **Channels** provide target URLs for third-party services to send webhooks. When a webhook is received by a channel, it triggers a corresponding Shopify Flow. Channels act as the secure reception points for your external data, ensuring that each piece of information is properly routed to the correct automation workflow. 

### How to Create a Channel

1. Navigate to **Apps** on the left-hand menu bar of your Shopify Dashboard**.** 
2. Select **Flow** then **Flow Plus**
3. Select **Create a Channel** 
   1. **Name** - this name will be used to identify the channel. 
   2. **Description** - (optional) leverage a Description to help identify the purpose of the channel.
4. Click **Create Channel**
