# Insert a Channel

To insert a channel, your XML must include the following properties and metadata fields:

Type | Required | Name | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Property | Yes | `Type` | The type of item to insert. To insert a channel, specify `Channel`.
Property | Yes | `TEAMID` | The ID of the team to insert the channel into.
Metadata field | Yes | `DisplayName` | The display name to use for the new channel.
Metadata field | Optional | `Description` | The description to use for the new channel.

For example, the value of your `insertXML` action parameter might look like this:

    <insertXML>
      <insert>
        <property name="Type" value="Channel"/>
        <property name="TEAMID" value="1"/>
        <xmlmetadata>
          <DisplayName>IDOL discussions</DisplayName>
          <Description>My new channel</Description>
        </xmlmetadata>
      </insert>
    </insertXML>
