Setting up an Email channel

1. In the header of Dev Studio, click the name of the application, and then click Channels and interfaces.
2. In the Create new channel interface section, click Email.
3. In the Email channel name field in the Details section, enter a name for your Email channel.
4. Optional: To explain the purpose for your email bot, in the Description field, enter a short description for the email bot.
5. In the Additional settings section, select a reference operator for the email bot.
