# states on POST /create-retell-llm stops working

Calls to POST /create-retell-llm, body parameter states on Retell AI API stop working on December 15, 2026.

On December 15, 2026, Retell AI API will remove support for the body parameter states on POST /create-retell-llm. Calls sending this parameter will fail after that day. Retell AI API is retiring multi-prompt agents in favor of conversation flow.

## What to use instead

Build the agent as a conversation flow with POST /create-conversation-flow instead of a multi-prompt Retell LLM. Multi-prompt agents have no direct API equivalent, so rebuilding one as a conversation flow changes how it handles calls and requires testing.
