Schedule an interview for an application with interviewers, time, video link and invite settings.

Ashby API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/ashby.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/ashby/applications/{application_id}/interview/schedule`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates an interview the way Manual Schedule does: interview type, start time, length and interviewers, with a Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams link or custom location text. The candidate and interviewers get calendar invites only if you set notify_candidate and notify_interviewers; the confirmation email is off unless you turn it on. Needs Elevated Access as Hiring Manager or Admin, or Organization Admin. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

|---|---|---|---|
| `application_id` | string | yes | Application ID from list_applications or get_candidate. |

| `start` | string | yes | ISO 8601 start time with offset. |
| `duration_minutes` | integer | yes | Length of the interview. |
| `interviewers` | array | yes | Interviewer emails, one slot each. |
| `location_type` | string | no | 'google_meet', 'zoom', 'microsoft_teams' or 'custom'. Default: custom. |
| `location` | string | no | Location text, only with location_type 'custom'. |
| `notify_candidate` | boolean | no | Send the calendar invite to the candidate. Default: false. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
