In order to use the AI chatbots, you need to input your OpenAI API credentials into the app. Do not worry, it is easier than it sounds. Let’s go through the steps to achieve it.

Obtaining your OpenAI API Key

Go to the OpenAI website. Scroll down to the footer and click on API login. Create an account or sign up to an existing one. If you have a ChatGPT account, you can use the same credentials.

Open the API area. After you enter your personal information, the following screen will appear asking where do you wish to go. Select API.

Open your dashboard.  Click on the Dashboard button at the top right corner of the screen.

Generate an API Key. Click on the API Keys option at the left sidebar. Then, click on the Create New Secret Key button.

Configure your API Key. Give it a name to identify it. In permissions, select “All”. Optionally, link it to a project and click on ‘Create secret key’. Copy the provided code and save it.

💡PRO TIP: All OpenAI models work with tokens, and these tokens have a cost. Therefore, after completing this tutorial and adding the API keys to the platform, you need to add credit to your OpenAI account for your OpenAI keys to work. We recommend adding at least $10.00 USD to get started. Check this article to learn more.

Input your OpenAI API keys into the app

Open our app. Go to the WhatsApp section. Open the Chatbot tools, and on the WhatsApp account where you wish to insert the OpenAI API key, select Item List.

Open the Chatbot Settings. You can find them in the three-dot menu at the top right corner of the page.

Input your OpenAI API Key. Paste it on the corresponding box. Then, select the GPT model you wish to use in your chatbot. Different models have different input limits (affecting the maximum length allowed for the AI training text), as well as different language comprehension abilities and costs. Check the OpenAI documentation to learn more.

Save and repeat. Click ‘Submit’ to save your changes. Then, repeat this process for every WhatsApp account connected to the app, ensuring each one has access to the chatbot’s AI functions. You can either paste the same API key on all accounts or generate a unique key for each one, which is recommended if you’d like more control over spending limits.

💡PRO TIP: If, despite following this tutorial, the AI chatbot does not work, add a credit card and funds to your OpenAI account. Typically, OpenAI requires you to make a $10 payment for credits.
