Environment Variables for HTTP Requests
Hi, I hope you're doing well!
I have a question regarding API key security and usage within Typebot.
When making HTTP requests in the bot flow (e.g., using a custom integration), is there a way to use environment variables (like $API_KEY or process.env.API_KEY) to securely store and reference sensitive API keys instead of exposing the plain keys directly in the bot configuration?
I came across this issue on GitHub: (https://github.com/baptisteArno/typebot.io/issues/627) but I'm unsure if it's the right solution, as it seems more focused on encryption.
Could you please clarify if there's an existing feature, method, or best practice for accessing environment variables (or a similar mechanism for secrets) when making external calls from a Typebot flow? I haven't found any official documentation about this yet.
Thank you for your time and help!

Unfortunately, there is still no way to store and use secrets on Typebot.
A workaround would be to make the requests through another automation tool like N8N or else
