# Channels in the sipgate app

With the sipgate app, Users can maintain a good overview in their Channels: Who is currently logged in and available? Who is on a call or in after-call work? Due to the new overview, collaboration is much easier now, especially for hybrid teams. Additionally, logging in and out of individual Channels is now as simple as a single click.

## What do Channels offer?

Once you, as an Admin, have set up the sipgate app for your account, Users will find the Channels in the left menu of the app. If Users are members of multiple Channels, they can also switch between Channels.

In the top dropdown menu, Users can get an overview of the phone numbers (caller ID) used for the respective Channels.

To manage their own availability, Users can easily log in and out.

Additionally, availability for all Users in this channel is displayed: green for "logged in," gray for "logged out," and orange for "on a call" or "in after-call work."

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Tip:** The status applies to all configured Channels and is displayed for all Channels if Users are logged into multiple Channels simultaneously. If users take a call for one of their Channels, the status "on a call" is assigned, and calls from other Channels will not be forwarded.
{% endhint %}

Also, the Channels inbox is displayed at the bottom during calls, with the option to filter between all and open calls.

When you click on a call, the call details are displayed.

**Important:** If Users activate the "busy" function in the sipgate app, they will automatically be logged out of all Channels.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Tip:** In your Channel Routing, you can set the after-call work time for your Users. The sipgate app also offers the option of automatic after-call work time. If Users extend the after-call work time in the app, calls will continue to be declined.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Tip:** The statistics displayed in the sipgate app refer to all calls made through the app. Currently, it is not possible to separate Channel calls from the overall statistics. However, you have the option to keep an eye on your Channels statistics and KPIs through the dashboard.
{% endhint %}

#### Sendernumber in Channels

Similar to Inbox, you can select the desired sender number in your Channels via the dropdown menu. To do this, open the desired Channel and click on the gear icon in the top-right corner.

In the window that appears, select the desired VoIP phone and choose the sender number from the dropdown menu.

If no available phone is listed, you can click **Add Phone** to create a new VoIP phone in your account (Appweb) and assign a sender number to the Channel.

Finally, click **Save**. You can view and change the sender number at any time in the top-right corner.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://teamhelp.sipgate.co.uk/use-sipgate/channels/channels-in-the-sipgate-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
