The business sees, rewords and removes it in Talki, and nothing asks for its approval first, so agree with the business what to teach. The assistant uses the answer shortly after the 202, once the note is indexed. Teaching the same request again adds another entry. Refused for a request that is not resolved (unresolved_request_not_resolved), when the note is full (faq_full) and when the account’s knowledge storage is full (payload_too_large). Requires Idempotency-Key. Requires knowledge:write. Limited to 120 requests per minute per account (API key) or per installation (OAuth).

2026-10-01Serve this one request at the given dated contract version instead of the credential’s pin. An unsupported value is refused with 400 unsupported_version, never downgraded.
Unique key for this logical write. Reuse it only when retrying the same method, path, query and body. Required on appointment writes, on creating a service, a resource, a closure, a tag, a caller rule or a document, and on teaching the assistant; optional on every other write. Retained for 24 hours: a retry with the same key gets the first response again, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true, and a refusal that holds until the state changes (a time taken, a list full) is replayed too. A response a retry can change is not kept when the request saved nothing, and the retry runs the request again: a 400 asking for a different request (invalid_parameter, invalid_cursor, export_too_large, unknown_scenario, no_services_requested, stay_too_short, stay_too_long, stay_dates_invalid), a 415, a 409 request_conflict, document_not_ready or check_in_progress, a 412, a 429 and a 5xx.
Example
teach-bridal-sundaysRequest Bodyrequired
Section titled “Request Bodyrequired”The general answer to a resolved request’s question, written as the business would say it to any caller. It is added to a FAQ note the business sees and edits in Talki. It is not the request’s answer, which records what one caller was told, and does not change it.
object
The question, up to 200 characters, as callers ask it; usually the request’s question, reworded for everyone. Kept on one line: line breaks and repeated spaces become one space before the length is counted.
The answer, up to 500 characters, kept on one line like the question.
Example
{ "question": "Do you do bridal hair on Sundays?", "answer": "Yes, on the first Sunday of each month, by appointment only."}Responses
Section titled “ Responses ”Successful Response
Where a taught answer went. The FAQ is indexed after the response, so the assistant uses the answer shortly after, not at once.
