I've build an simple echobot and deploy on Azure, what is next?

Question

I'm new to chatbot, recently I first build an example echo bot and deploy on Azure.
I'd test on Web Chat channel and it looks fine. Then what could I do next to deploy this bot for other users?

Is there something like public URL for other users to interact with the chatbot?
Or is there any platform I could publish this chatbot to allow my colleagues to play with it?

Thank you

@林彥良 The next step should be to publish it to a channel. A channel is a connection between communication applications and a bot. A bot, registered with Azure, uses channels to facilitate the communication with users. There are many channels available to use like facebook messenger, alexa, slack etc. If the standard channels cannot be used directly you can use the option to publish to directline which allows to use the bot to connect with any applications. I hope this helps.
