# Import system variables

> Learn how to import system variables that aren't available by default in your chatbot.

Not all system variables are available by default when you create a chatbot. If you require additional system variables that aren't available, you can import them from the `Variables` menu in the builder's [sidebar](/chatbot/builder/sidebar).

## How to import additional system variables

1. Go to the `Builder` in your chatbot.
2. Click the `Variables` menu in the sidebar.
