Outputs: Server Events

Server Events are messages sent from the Deepgram server to the client over the WebSocket connection during a voice agent interaction. These events provide real-time updates about the conversation’s status, including user and agent actions, as well as any processing that’s occurring.

List of Server Events

• Welcome: Confirms that the WebSocket has opened successfully.
• Settings Applied: Confirms that the configuration settings have been applied.
• Conversation Text: Provides the text of what was spoken by either the user or the agent.
• User Started Speaking: Notifies that the user has begun speaking.
• Agent Thinking: Informs the client that the agent is processing information.
• Function Call Request: Sent when the agent needs to make a function call.
• Function Call Response: Sent to provide information about a function call.
• Prompt Updated: Confirms that a Prompt Configuration change has been applied.
• Speak Updated: Confirms that a Speak Configuration change has been applied.
• Agent Audio Done: Indicates that the server has finished sending the final audio segment to the client.
• Agent Errors: Notifies the client if an error has occurred on the server side.
• Agent Warnings: Notifies the client if a warning has occurred on the server side.

Each of these events serves a specific purpose in managing the flow of the conversation and keeping the client informed about the state of the interaction. They allow for a dynamic and responsive experience when using Deepgram’s Voice Agent API.
