# ElevenLabs API Integration

This is a guide on how to integrate your ElevenLabs voices with Convai characters

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Currently, only ElevenLabs accounts with their associated Pro plans and higher are compatible due to the 44.1kHz audio output.**\
\
**All tiers of Convai accounts can add an ElevenLabs API key integration.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note : If you are receiving token errors while speaking with your characters, please confirm your ElevenLabs subscription is valid and you have a remaining token quota on your** [**ElevenLabs.io**](https://elevenlabs.io/) **dashboard.**
{% endhint %}

Step 1. Go to [elevenlabs.io](https://elevenlabs.io/) and head to your Profile section

Step 2. On the Profile section, create an API key with the following permissions :

`Text to Speech` : `Access`

`Voices` : `Read`

`User` : `Read`

<figure><img src="https://413558230-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEtUJA212Zc1S9ACc8T4l%2Fuploads%2FVS3WKWUzRu3rzXOturlV%2FScreenshot%202025-08-27%20at%205.55.11%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=346a1c8c-8996-44a9-a07a-aff74349c2c6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

And copy the API key for the next step.

Step 3. Next, login to convai.com and open your Profile page

Step 4. On the bottom right corner "API Integration" click on "Add New Key" button

Step 5. A pop up will appear then, select ElevenLabs, then paste your API key and click Add.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**It will take some time (\~12 hrs) for your voices be visible in Convai dashboard.**\
**You can accelerate the process for viewing newly added voices by removing and adding your ElevenLabs API key again.**
{% endhint %}

Step 6. Go to any character and under their Character Description, select Character's Voice, scroll to the bottom and you will see a new section "Elevenlabs-Private-Voices" and all of your voices will be visible there. Select as desired and utilize.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.convai.com/api-docs/plugins-and-integrations/other-integrations/third-party-api-integrations/elevenlabs-api-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
