API Key Security
Ensure you copy the API key immediately after it is generated. For security reasons, OpenAI will not display the key again once you close the 'Create secret key' window.
Reusing Connections
You don't need to create a new connection for every ChatGPT module within the same scenario. Simply select an existing connection from the dropdown menu to save time.
