Hello! So I’m trying to access the session id’s on the dashboard so that my character can remember past details from the game. I’ve been fiddling with the SessionManager script from this page: [Managing sessionID Locally | Convai Documentation](https://docs.convai.com/api-docs/plugins-and-integrations/unity-plugin/utilities/managing-sessionid-locally) My issue is that I don’t know the npc client is null when I’m trying to get it; public ConvaiService.ConvaiServiceClient grpcClient;
, it is null when I run the script. It is not visible/accessible through the inspector so I’m going through a ConvaiNPC to use GetClient(). I would like to be to get session ID from the dashboard. What is the best way to do that, to get the client correctly.

Here is my script: using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Convai.Scripts.Runtime.Core;
using Service;
using UnityEngine;
public class SessionManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public string characterName;
public string characterID;
public ConvaiNPC convaiNPC;
```
private ConvaiService.ConvaiServiceClient grpcClient;
private void Start()
{
if (convaiNPC != null)
{
grpcClient = convaiNPC.GetClient();
InitializeSession(characterName, grpcClient, characterID);
}
else
{
Debug.LogError("No ConvaiNPC found in the scene.");
}
}
private async void InitializeSession(string characterName, ConvaiService.ConvaiServiceClient client, string characterID)
{
if (client == null)
{
Debug.LogError("gRPC client is not initialized.");
return;
}
string sessionID = await InitializeSessionIDAsync(characterName, client, characterID);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionID))
{
Debug.Log("Session ID initialized and stored: " + sessionID);
}
else
{
Debug.LogError("Failed to initialize session ID.");
}
}
public static async Task InitializeSessionIDAsync(string characterName, ConvaiService.ConvaiServiceClient client, string characterID)
{
string sessionID = PlayerPrefs.GetString(characterID, string.Empty);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionID))
{
sessionID = await ConvaiGRPCAPI.InitializeSessionIDAsync(characterName, client, characterID, sessionID);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sessionID))
{
PlayerPrefs.SetString(characterID, sessionID);
PlayerPrefs.Save();
}
}
return sessionID;
}
```

You have to use the Long Term Memory feature.

Thank you, yes I did use the long-term memory component on the npc and enabled it as well as on the dashboard. The npc also has a narrative design. I’m unsure if it affects it, but the npc doesn’t remember a specific thing from a previous session.
