# Enabling & Disabling Event Data Flow

Throughout the experience you will see that there is the concept of **State** for your **Channel.** You might have a Channel configured but you do you not want to process any events or receive data from that that third-party system via the Webhook you've installed. 

### You can see the **State** of the Channel in two places:

1. The **Channels** home page of your Flow Plus experience
