### Steps to integrate Dashbot for a eva virtual agent

First, create an account on Dashbot to create an application.

#### Then, you can follow these steps (see video below):

1. Fill in the information about the virtual agent’s name, category, and product status. Make sure to select the **“Universal”** option on the field platform.
2. Copy the API key generated.
3. Then, on the eva platform, go to the virtual agent you want to connect to.
4. Select the option “edit” .
5. Enable the option to integrate with the virtual agent analytics platform.
6. Once you have enabled it, you'll write "**dashbot:**" on the field and then paste the API key right after it (for ex: dashbot:apikey).
7. Go back to Dashbot and click “Verify”.
8. Now, you can start monitoring your virtual agent through Dashbot.
