Paste an API key in chat and Lovable saves it as a secret

GAAgentReleased Jun 2026Plan not verifiedSource: docs.lovable.dev

Paste an API key in chat and Lovable saves it as a secret is Lovable's Agent feature: You can now paste an API key or token into chat and Lovable will save it as a project secret automatically.

You can now paste an API key or token into chat and Lovable will save it as a project secret automatically. When Lovable detects a key, it replaces the value with a labeled tag, such as OPENAI_API_KEY, before you send the message. The real value stays out of the message and chat history, while the agent can still use the secret by name when helping you build.

How it works

How Paste an API key in chat and Lovable saves it as a secret works, drawn only from its official release notes.

  1. What it does

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

    Set up Paste an API key in chat and Lovable saves it as a secret in this project — you can now paste an API key or token into chat and Lovable will save it as a project secret automatically.

    A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

    A note you can paste into chat as-is. Read it once for anything overstated before you send it.
