Say

The Say action instructs an Assistant on what to speak back to the user. Say may contain SSML or plain text.

Simple example: Say Hello World!

{
	"actions": [
		{
			"say": "Hello World!"
		}
	]
}

This Say action would say "Hello World!" and end the dialogue. This is an example of statically-rendered JSON and the Say action is a static Action.

Dynamic example: Say "Hello World" by calling dynamic JSON from a Twilio Function (or another endpoint) instead of the Autopilot Actions bin.

First you'll redirect to the Function from the Actions bin:

{
    "actions": [
        {
            "redirect": "replace-with-your-function.twil.io/dynamicsay"
        }
    ]
}

In the Twilio Function, your Node.js code to say "Hello World" by rendering Actions' JSON dynamically could look like this. This is also where you could add data from the conversation context, like the name of the user, to your bot's response:

exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
    let actions = [];
    let say = {
        "say": "Hello World!"
    }
    actions.push(say);
    let respObj = {
    	"actions": actions
    };
    callback(null, respObj);	
};
