# confirm(intent:completion:)

Confirms that you can send the message.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func confirm(intent: INSendMessageIntent, completion: @escaping @Sendable (INSendMessageIntentResponse) -> Void)
```

```swift
optional func confirm(intent: INSendMessageIntent) async -> INSendMessageIntentResponse
```

## Parameters

- `intent`: The intent object that contains details about the user’s request. The information in this object has already been resolved by your handler object.
- `completion`: The handler block to execute with your response. You must execute this handler while implementing this method. This handler has no return value and takes the following parameter:

## Discussion

Discussion This method validates that your messaging service is available and that sending a message is possible. At some point in your implementation, execute the provided completion block with a response object. The response object you create in this method and in the handle(intent:completion:) method should be virtually the same. For more information about creating the response object, see INSendMessageIntentResponse.
