# Publish on Phone

Connect your Agent to the Phone channel.

When you’ve created a Phone integration in Watermelon, you’ll need to connect your Agent to the Phone channel. This ensures your Agent can automatically answer incoming phone calls.

You can publish your Agent on Phone via the Agent Profile or via the Activate tab.

<Warning>
  Make sure you’ve set up the [Phone integration](/docs/help-center/integrations/phone) first in Integrations → Phone before connecting your Agent.
</Warning>

## **Publishing via Agent Profile**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Agent settings">
    Open your **Agent**. Navigate to Activate AI Agent underneath Behavior. Scroll down to **Select your channels**.
