This use case describes the process to activate a single channel, as opposed to the Activate All Channels use case which is for all channels. Some platforms allow the Agent to authenticate prior to becoming active. For these platforms, the Agent’s channels can be configured to remain inactive after authentication until the Agent chooses to activate them through this use case or Activate All Channels.
