# addVerbToSection

> Add a SWML verb to a specific named section of the document.

[ref-addsection]: /docs/server-sdks/reference/typescript/agents/swml-service/add-section

[ref-addverb]: /docs/server-sdks/reference/typescript/agents/swml-service/add-verb

Add a SWML verb to a specific named section of the document. If the section
does not exist, it is created automatically before the verb is appended. Throws
a validation error if schema validation is enabled and the verb config is
invalid.

> **Note**
>
> Use [`addSection()`][ref-addsection] first to create an empty section if you
> prefer explicit creation, or use this method directly and let it auto-create.
> For the default `main` section, use [`addVerb()`][ref-addverb] instead.

## **Parameters**

**`sectionName`** `string` — required

Name of the section to add the verb to (e.g., `"main"`, `"transfer_flow"`).

---

**`verbName`** `string` — required

The SWML verb name.

---

**`config`** `unknown` — required

Configuration for the verb. Typically a `Record<string, unknown>` object;
certain verbs like `sleep` accept a bare number.

---

## **Returns**

`this` -- returns the service for fluent chaining.

## **Example**

```typescript {10}
import { SWMLService } from '@signalwire/sdk';

const service = new SWMLService({ name: 'transfer-flow' });

// Build the main section
service.addVerb('answer', {});
service.addVerb('ai', { prompt: { text: 'You are a helpful assistant' } });

// Build a separate transfer section
service.addVerbToSection('transfer', 'connect', {
  to: '+15551234567',
  from: '+15559876543',
});

console.log(service.renderDocument());
```
