## Getting Credentials

**How to set up Rocket.Chat:**

> 1. Create a user that will be used to post messages, and set its  
> credentials at credentials file.  
> 2. Create a Rocket.Chat outgoing webhook by logging in as admin to  
> Rocket.Chat and going to  
> **Administration > Integrations > New Integration**.  
> 3. Select **Outgoing Webhook**.  
> 4. Set **Event Trigger** section to value **Message Sent**.  
> 5. Fill out the details, including the channel you want the bot  
> listen to. Optionally, it is possible to set the  
> **Trigger Words** section with `@yourbotname` so that the bot  
> doesn’t trigger on everything that is said.  
> 6. Set your **URLs** section to the Rasa URL where you have your  
> webhook running in Core or your public address with  
> `/webhooks/rocketchat/webhook`, e.g.  
> `http://test.example.com/webhooks/rocketchat/webhook`.

For more information on the Rocket.Chat Webhooks, see the  
[Rocket.Chat Guide](https://rocket.chat/docs/administrator-guides/integrations/).

## Running on RocketChat

If you want to connect to the Rocket.Chat input channel using the run  
script, e.g. using:

```
  rasa run
```
 
you need to supply a `credentials.yml` with the following content:

```
rocketchat:
  user: "yourbotname"
  password: "YOUR_PASSWORD"
  server_url: "https://demo.rocket.chat"
```
