# Save Messages

Capture and store conversation messages by listening to the Agent “Message” event for analytics, logging, and conversation history.

## Basic Message Logging

Listen for conversation messages:

```
const agent = new OpenaiAgent({  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant',})
// Listen for all conversation messagesagent.on('Message', (message) => {  console.log('New message:', {    role: message.role, // 'user' or 'assistant'    content: message.content, // The message text    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),  })})
new MicdropServer(socket, { agent, tts })
```

## Save Messages to Database

Store messages in your database:

```
import { db } from './database' // Your database connection
agent.on('Message', async (message) => {  try {    await db.conversations.create({      userId: currentUserId,      sessionId: currentSessionId,      role: message.role,      content: message.content,      timestamp: new Date(),    })  } catch (error) {    console.error('Failed to save message:', error)  }})
```

## Save Conversation when Call ends

Save the complete conversation when the call ends by listening to the `End` event:

```
import { MicdropServer } from '@micdrop/server'
const server = new MicdropServer(socket, {  agent,  stt,  tts,})
server.on('End', async (call) => {  // Save conversation  await db.conversations.create({    userId: currentUserId,    sessionId: currentSessionId,    messages: call.conversation,    endedAt: new Date(),    duration: call.duration,    totalMessages: call.conversation.length,  })})
```

> ⚠️ **Warning**: In case of server errors or crashes, the conversation may not be saved using this approach. For critical applications, it’s recommended to save messages individually as they arrive (see [Save to Database](#save-messages-to-database) section above) to ensure no messages are lost.
