# Publish

This endpoint will publish the specified chatbot on the currently active channels. Any active and correctly configured channel will go online and any disabled channel will be set offline.

Calling publish on a bot with all channels disabled will effectively put it completely offline.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Publish calls are throttled at 1 call per bot per hour. Trying to publish a bot before the expired hour will result in an error.
