5. Now Add the following credentials. Copy the Keys directly from here to avoid any typos.

   1. Convai API Key Details:&#x20;

      ```properties
      Key: CONVAI_API_KEY
      Value: <your unique API key from Convai>
      ```
   2. Convai Character ID:&#x20;

      ```properties
      Key: CONVAI_CHARACTER_ID
      Value: <the unique ID of the character that you designed on Convai website>
      ```
   3. Allowed Channels:&#x20;

      ```properties
      Key: ALLOWED_CHANNELS
      Value: <mention the name of the channels separated by ','. Example: 'chat-with-convaibot,interactive-avatars'>
      ```
   4. Discord Bot Details:

      ```properties
      Key: DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
      Value: <the token generated while creating the discord bot>
      ```

   Note: ALLOWED\_CHANNELS restricts the bot to respond to only the channels mentioned in the list. This affects all the servers the bot has been invited to. For new server additions, you need to add the new list of allowed channels to the list.  This might also require you to re-run the Repl.
6. After you have entered the details, it should look something like this
