# Send

The most common and important action in SDK is sending a transfer. To make it first of all you have to build a transaction. For that, you need to call the [send](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/interfaces/BridgeService.html#send)[ ](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/interfaces/RawBridgeTransactionBuilder.html#send)method. It has the following fields:

<mark style="color:orange;">amount</mark>: (string) - total amount to send in float format. If you pay a fee with stables also includes fee and extra gas amount.

<mark style="color:orange;">destinationToken</mark>: token you want to send has got from [token info](/sdk/guides/general/token-info.md)

<mark style="color:orange;">sourceToken</mark>: token you want to receive have got from [token info](/sdk/guides/general/token-info.md)

<mark style="color:orange;">extraGas</mark>: (string, optional) If you want to receive extra gas tokens on a destination chain, you have to add this field. Limits for extra gas you can get [here](/sdk/guides/utilities/extra-gas-limits.md)

<mark style="color:orange;">extraGasFormat</mark>: ([AmountFormat](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/enums/AmountFormat.html) enum INT or FLOAT. Default: INT) Define the format of the extraGas field

<mark style="color:orange;">fee</mark>: (string, optional) to set manually amount of the fee to pay for the transfer. If it is not specified, the fee is set according to [getGasFeeOptions](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/classes/AllbridgeCoreSdk.html#getGasFeeOptions) method. Value currency depends on gasFeePaymentMethod field - NATIVE\_CURRENCY or STABLECOIN respectively

<mark style="color:orange;">feeFormat</mark>:  ([AmountFormat](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/enums/AmountFormat.html) enum INT or FLOAT. Default: INT) Define the format of the fee field

<mark style="color:orange;">fromAccountAddress</mark>: (string) sender address

<mark style="color:orange;">toAccountAddress</mark>: (string) recipient address

<mark style="color:orange;">gasFeePaymentMethod</mark>: ([enum](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/enums/FeePaymentMethod.html), optional, default: WITH\_NATIVE\_CURRENCY) WITH\_NATIVE\_CURRENCY - gas fee and extra gas will be added to the transaction as native token value \
WITH\_STABLECOIN - gas fee and extra gas will be deducted from the amount field

<mark style="color:orange;">messenger</mark>: ([enum](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/enums/Messenger.html)) Could be ALLBRIDGE, WORMHOLE, CCTP. Not all chains and tokens support all messengers. To check it you can call [getAverageTransferTime](/sdk/guides/utilities/transfer-time.md) method, and if the messenger is not supported it returns null

<mark style="color:orange;">txFeeParams</mark>: ([object](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/interfaces/TxFeeParams.html), optional) additional fee for sending transaction blockchain. Now used only for Solana to add extra fee instructions in the transaction. For more details see [docs](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/interfaces/TxFeeParams.html)

```typescript
const rawTx = await sdk.bridge.rawTxBuilder.send(sendParams);
```

The method will return a [raw transaction](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/types/RawTransaction.html) accounting to the source chain. You need only to sign and send it.&#x20;

If you want to build a swap transaction you have to use this method also, but with the tokens on the same chain and more simpler [args](https://bridge-core-sdk.web.app/interfaces/SwapParams.html)

## 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://docs-core.allbridge.io/sdk/guides/general/send.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.
