Integrations and API keys

Once a workflow has been built, you can connect the apps that are required for the automation to run.

Having your integrations already connected when building the workflow increases your chances of success, since the chat agent can run tests to verify everything functions properly.

You should only need to provide your own API key if:

• Cody specifically states they don't have access to a particular service you're trying to use

• You prefer to use your own API quota for cost control

• You're integrating with specialized or enterprise services that require your credentials

Example: If Cody asks for an OpenAI API key, you can respond: "Please use your own API key for the LLM models instead."

Airtable

To connect CodeWords with your Airtable data, you'll need to provide an API Key that has access to your Workspaces and Bases. Getting your Airtable API Key is straightforward:

• In your Airtable Account, navigate to the Builder Hub from the dropdown menu options when you click on your profile section

• Once in Builder Hub, look for the Personal Access Token option under the Developers section

• Select "Create a token" and provide a descriptive name for your CodeWords integration

• Choose the appropriate Scopes that you want CodeWords to be able to perform with your data

  • Read - Allows CodeWords to view and extract data from your bases

  • Write - Enables CodeWords to add and modify records in your bases

  • Manage - Gives CodeWords full control to create, modify, and delete bases and workspaces

• Add the specific bases that CodeWords can access, or choose "Add all resources" to give access to everything in your account

• Copy the generated token and paste it into your CodeWords workflow when prompted

Pinecone

Once an account is created on Pinecone, an API key is generated by default. You can access this from the API keys section on the right menu.

You can create an Index or use an existing Index from Pinecone by using codewords using the API Key.

Telegram

Setting Up a Telegram Bot Webhook

This guide walks you through connecting your Telegram bot to CodeWords using webhooks.

Step 1: Create or Get Your Bot Token

1. Open Telegram and search for @BotFather

2. Start a conversation with BotFather

3. Choose one of the following options:

   • For a new bot: Send /newbot and follow the prompts to create your bot

   • For existing bots: Send /mybots to see your current bots

4. Select your bot from the list

5. Click "API Token" from the available options

6. Copy the bot token (format: 123456789:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11)

Step 2: Configure the Webhook

1. Take the webhook URL template:

   https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/setWebhook?url=<YOUR_CODEWORDS_WEBHOOK_URL>

2. Replace <YOUR_BOT_TOKEN> with your actual bot token from Step 1.

3. Replace <YOUR_CODEWORDS_WEBHOOK_URL> with the webhook URL that Cody generates when setting up your trigger.

4. Example:

   https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/setWebhook?url=<YOUR_CODEWORDS_WEBHOOK_URL>

Step 3: Activate the Webhook

1. Copy the complete URL from Step 2

2. Paste it into your browser's address bar

3. Press Enter to navigate to the URL

4. You should see a confirmation message indicating the webhook has been activated

Best Practice: Only grant the minimum permissions needed for your specific automation. If your workflow only reads data, don't grant Write or Manage permissions. Once configured, CodeWords will be able to seamlessly interact with your Airtable data as part of your automated workflows.
