Overview

To authenticate with Botpress, you need:
  1. Personal Access Token — a token from your Botpress account settings.
This guide will show you how to generate it. Botpress also gives a Bot Access Key to each deployed bot and an Integration Access Key to each deployed integration. They are sent the same way, but neither can pass this integration’s connection check, which reads your account from the Admin API. Use a personal access token with this integration.
