Creating a channel

April 15, 2026

Pick an organization, title, and URL permalink for a new channel.


From the user home page (/en/usr), click Add channel. You'll need:

  • Organization — the channel's billing/team parent. If you belong to only one org, it's preselected.
  • Title — the display name readers see at the top of the public site.
  • Perma name — the URL-friendly slug used in /en/c/<perma-name>. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only. Must be unique across OmniCon.
  • Default culture — the primary language of the channel. Articles can still be written in other cultures, but this one drives the default public URL and public-feed fallbacks.

After creating, you land on the channel details page. The next steps are usually:

  1. Open Settings and add a description and logo.
  2. Invite or create authors.
  3. Start writing articles or building pages.
