# Create a reply

`POST https://api.cademi.com.br/api/v3/products/{product_id}/questions/{question_id}/replies`

Operation ID: `questions.replies.create` · API v3

Publishes a support reply to a question or saves a draft reply. Requires an `Idempotency-Key` header.

With `status` set to `published` (the default), the reply is published with the requested `visibility` (`public` by default) and any saved draft is discarded. A question has a single support reply: if one already exists, its content is replaced. The user is notified only when the reply is first published, and only public replies generate events.

With `status` set to `draft`, the content is saved as the question's draft reply without publishing it, and `visibility` is ignored. The draft does not affect any reply already visible to the user.

Required permissions: `questions.update`.
