Hello,

I want to add one more channel to the existing list of channels. It should appear on the left sidebar along with other channels. Lets name it “abcmail”. How can i do it? What changes do i need to make in the code?

Also how do i make text messages appear similar to emails e.g. emails have segments and campaign both. Text messages dont. Emails show failed messages and who opened it and all.How can i add that?

Thanks.
