# Send emoticons

While the aim is to always keep chats professional, customers sometimes appreciate informal touches to conversations to give them a more personal feel. Emoticons are used on every social media platform available to customers, so they have come to appreciate and even expect these little expressions to convey meaning. 

## **Send emoticons**

1. Click the *emoji* icon below the text area. 
2. Search and select the emoticon you want to add to your message.

{% hint style="success" %}
You can add as many emoticons as you want to your messages.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.clickatell.com/chat-desk/agent-desk/chat-capabilities/send-emoticons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
