# Send Owner Message

`POST /bots/{bot_id}/messages`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://speaking.meetingbaas.com`
- URL: `https://speaking.meetingbaas.com/bots/{bot_id}/messages`

- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/meeting-baas/apis/meeting-baas-api/docs/bots/:bot_id/messages/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Have the bot relay a message from its owner to the meeting.

For things that come up while the owner is away: "tell them I'll join at
half past", "we can go with option B". The bot says it in its own words,
briefly, and the text appears in the transcript as its turn. Only the API
key that created the bot may use this.
