📖What it means
The route a message travels between a person and an agent — WhatsApp, web chat, email, the CLI. The channel decides who can be identified and what may be sent, so a message that is fine on one may be refused on another.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Lane
A channel carries a conversation; a lane carries WORK through the pipeline.
Not: Tier
A channel is how someone reaches an agent; a tier is what they are allowed once there.
