Email a candidate a link to pick their interview time.

Comeet API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/comeet.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/comeet/candidates/{candidate_id}/self-schedule/invite`

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

Does what Schedule > Invite a candidate to select a time does on an interview step. online_meeting is none, zoom or custom_link; custom_link needs the URL, and zoom needs a plan that includes it. The candidate sees your availability at the moment they open the link, and the link expires after 5 days by default. It fails if Auto-scheduling is not configured by an Admin. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `candidate_id` | string | yes | Candidate at an interview step. |
| `step` | string | yes | Interview step name. |
| `online_meeting` | enum | no | none (default), zoom or custom_link. |
| `custom_link` | string | no | Video interview URL for custom_link. |

## 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.
