# Audio Message Block

The **Audio Message Block** inside **Send Message** allows you to send voice notes or audio files directly to users during a chatbot conversation. Audio messages help create a more personal interaction and can build trust with users.

#### How to Use the Audio Message Block

1. Open your **Chat Flow** in the bot builder.
2. Click **Add Node**.
3. Select **Send Message → Audio Message**.

#### Add Audio

You can add audio in two ways:

* **Upload a pre-recorded audio file** from your system, or
* Paste the **audio URL**.

After selecting the file, click **Start Upload**.

4. Click **Save Message**.

Once the flow is triggered, the audio message will be automatically sent to the user in the chat. This block is useful for sending **voice instructions, greetings, or personalized voice responses**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpdocumentation.gitbook.io/user/bot-builder/whatsapp-chatbot/message-blocks/audio-message-block.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
