Channel Programs are available to users with Partner Community licenses.

Create a channel program to provide partner users access to leads within their region, relevant marketing events, and relevant resources. If a partner user joins a team, you can add them to a channel program by making them a channel program member. You can add or remove channel program members from a channel program at any time.

Tip Enable feed tracking on the Channel Program Member object to easily track partner activity, such as when a member changes to a different level. Be sure to add the Name column to the Channel Program Member related list. You can use the name to navigate to a member’s feed.

1. From the App Launcher, find and open **Channel Program**.
2. Click **New** and enter a name, category, and description.
3. Activate the Program.
4. Save the channel program.
