Securing the Necessary API Keys and Tokens

To interact with the Trello API, you need to generate an API key and token. Follow these steps to obtain them:

Generate an API Key:

1. Create a Trello Power-Up if you haven't already. Refer to the Managing Power-Ups documentation for guidance.
2. Visit the Trello Power-Ups admin page, access your Power-Up, navigate to the API Key tab, and select the option to generate a new API Key.

Generate an API Token:

1. On the same page where you found your API key, click the "Token" hyperlink next to the API key.
2. You will be prompted to authorize your app and generate a token. Click "Allow" to grant your app access to your Trello account.

Keep this token secret as it grants access to your Trello data. For more details, refer to the Trello API documentation.

Securing the OpenAI API Key

To use OpenAI functionalities within Synapse Copilot, obtain an API key from OpenAI. Follow these steps:

Sign Up for an OpenAI Account:

1. Visit the OpenAI website.
2. Sign up for an account or log in if you already have one.

Generate an API Key:

1. Navigate to the API section of your OpenAI dashboard.
2. Click on the option to generate a new API key.
3. Copy the generated API key and keep it secure.

For detailed information, refer to the OpenAI API documentation.

Configuring Your Project

Add your Trello API key, token, and OpenAI API key to the config.yml file:

Running Synapse Copilot

To run Synapse Copilot and interact with your Trello boards, modify the run.py file and set it to use environment variables for your API key and token.

Step 1: Modify the run.py File

Open the run.py file in your favorite code editor and navigate to the section related to the Trello scenario. Ensure that the active code block is correctly set up to use the API key and token from the environment variables defined in config.yml.

Step 3: Run Synapse Copilot

With the run.py file updated, you can now run Synapse Copilot:

cd Synapse-Copilot
python run.py

Follow the prompts:

• Select the Trello scenario by typing trello and pressing Enter.
• Enter the user ID (use any placeholder value since it’s not used in this setup).

Example interaction:

Provide an instruction or press Enter to use the example instruction provided:

Query: Create a new board with the name 'Health Planner'

The system will process the instruction and interact with the Trello API to create a new board named Health Planner.

By following these steps, you will have Synapse Copilot up and running, ready to manage your Trello boards efficiently. This powerful tool simplifies the process of working with APIs, allowing you to focus more on building and less on debugging.
