# Connecting channels

To connect a channel, go to [My Resources](https://app.graspil.com/resorces) and click the [Add Channel](https://app.graspil.com/resorces/add-channel) button. For convenience, you'll be asked to log in to our bot (if you haven't already).

\
After that, you need to add the @graspil\_channel\_bot bot to your channel, without any rights. Or with the right to add users if you want to use our outbound links with UTM tag forwarding into graspil.

If the bot is added to the channel from a Telegram account other than the one linked to graspil, you'll be asked to confirm your rights to the channel. To do this, you'll need to add a short code to the channel description for the duration of the verification. After confirming your rights, you can remove the code.

**Automatic channel addition in graspil**

If your Telegram account is linked to your graspil account, then when the @graspil\_channel\_bot bot is added to a channel, that channel will automatically appear in your account.
