# Have the agent say something

> POST /v1/conversations/{conversation_id}/say

The agent says `text` on the call, word for word and in its own voice, once it has finished what it is saying. Answers at once with the command. Needs `calls:control`.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `conversation_id` | path | string (uuid) | Yes |  |

## Body

Sent as JSON. A field this operation does not take is refused, so a typo fails loudly.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `text` | string | Yes | Said by the agent, word for word, in its voice. |

## Answer

`202` with [ConversationCommandObject](/reference/objects/ConversationCommandObject).

## Errors

Every error is a [problem document](/errors) with a stable `code`.

| Status | When |
|---|---|
| `401` | The key is missing, mistyped, unknown, revoked or expired. |
| `403` | The key lacks a permission, a live key was sent from a browser, or the organization is frozen and the request would change something. |
| `404` | This key reaches no such conversation. |
| `409` | The call has not been answered, has ended, or is not a call. |
| `422` | Validation Error |
| `429` | Too many requests for this key or its organization; see `Retry-After`. |
| `500` | Something went wrong on our side. Quote the `request_id` to support. |
