What is the Welcome Message

The welcome message confirms there has been a successful connection to the websocket.

Receiving Welcome

The server will immediately send a Welcome message as soon as the websocket opens.

{
  "type": "Welcome",
  "session_id": "fc553ec9-5874-49ca-a47c-b670d525a4b1"
}

Conclusion

The Welcome message serves as the initial handshake between a voice agent and the server, signaling that the websocket connection is successfully established. By including a unique session_id, it ensures that each interaction is traceable and distinct, providing a reliable foundation for managing ongoing communication. This message is critical for synchronizing the client and server, enabling the voice agent to proceed with further actions seamlessly.
