Channel3Bot is Channel3's web crawler that visits publicly accessible product detail pages to index product information into a universal product catalog. The bot collects product details such as images, titles, descriptions, prices, and availability to enable AI apps and agents to discover products and direct shoppers to the original websites.

How Centinel checks it

User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.

Channel3Bot publishes nothing Centinel can check a source against, so a match reports the name and leaves the source unconfirmed. The match tokens, verification domains, and address feeds are not published here.

Allowing or blocking it

The crawler object in the /validate response sets access_allowed to true only for a verified source that your tenant allowlists. A policy rule can allow or block this crawler by its category, AI Search.
