## KakaoTalk Channel

To send KakaoTalk business messages from Hackle, you must register a channel that has received business verification from the KakaoTalk Channel Admin Center.

**KakaoTalk Channel Setup**

1. If you do not yet have a KakaoTalk channel, first create a channel by referring to the [KakaoBusiness guide](https://kakaobusiness.gitbook.io/main/channel/start).
2. In the KakaoTalk Channel Admin Center, select the created channel. In the Dashboard's profile settings, set channel visibility and search allowance to 'ON'.

3. Request a business channel conversion from the channel information in the Dashboard. Once all fields are filled in and submitted, the review will determine whether the business channel conversion is approved. (Reviewed by Kakao; takes 2-3 business days.)
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**KakaoTalk Channel Registration**

Once the business channel conversion is complete, register the KakaoTalk channel (Sender Profile) in the Hackle Dashboard under Settings > External Integration > Kakao Channel tab. The Kakao channel is applied universally regardless of Production or Development environment.
