var workspace = process.env.WORKSPACE_ID || '';
console.log(process.env.WORKSPACE_ID);//your value will appear

If you want, has another form, you can set the workspace_id and username, password in your app.js file.

var username = 'usernameServiceCredentials'
var password = 'passwordServiceCredentials'
var workspace_id = 'workspaceFromConversation'
