   2. Optional: To explain the purpose of your email bot, in the Description field, enter a short description for the email bot.
   3. In the Email handling section, click Add email account, and then select an email account.
      Set up at least one email account for the Email channel so that users know which email address to use for sending their requests to the email bot. If you set up more than one email account, users can send emails to the email bot from any of the email addresses for the defined email accounts.
   4. Optional: To enhance how the system presents information in emails and triage cases by enabling rich HTML text, in the Additional settings section, select the Allow rich text (HTML) in emails check box.
   5. In the Reference operator list, select a reference operator for your email bot.
      You select a reference operator so that the system assigns the email triage case to a unique Pega Platform operator when an exception occurs. A reference operator is a Pega Platform user on whose behalf the system creates service mails in the system.
   6. In the Languages list, select the languages that the email bot uses to interact with users.
