# Send Message

![AudioCodes Send Message Node configuration panel](https://mintcdn.com/cognigy-docs-legacy/RomCLoWcsmr9N2pz/_assets/ai/develop/node-reference/audiocodes/send-message.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RomCLoWcsmr9N2pz\&q=85\&s=bf3e83e445e47e83da72a2d72eb43d21)

## Description

> [!WARNING]
>
> * As of Cognigy 4.96.0, AudioCodes Nodes and Generic Voice Nodes are deprecated. Flows with these Nodes continue to work, and you can still edit and clone them as well as export them as a Package. However, you can't create new ones in Cognigy 4.96 or later.
> * The full removal of AudioCodes Nodes is planned for Q4 2026. After the removal, AI Agents using these Nodes will stop working properly. We strongly recommend migrating to [Voice Gateway Nodes](https://docs-classic.cognigy.com/ai/agents/develop/node-reference/voice/voice-gateway/overview) before the removal date.

The Send Message Node sends a text (optionally with SSML) to AudioCodes, which then turns this text into speech (TTS) and outputs it to the caller.

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Text | CognigyScript with SSML | The text to send back to AudioCodes. Can contain SSML (either entered manually or via the provided editor) |
| Set Activity Parameters | Toggle | Option to add parameters which will be valid for this activity only. |
