Log a call, meeting or custom activity on a record.

Copper CRM API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/copper-crm.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/copper-crm/records/{record_id}/activities`

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

Adds an entry to the record's Activity Log, as Log Activity does. Phone Call and Meeting count in interaction stats and the Activity by User report, To-do does not, and a custom type counts only if it was created as an interaction. Completing a task does not log an activity by itself. The entry is visible to your team. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `record_type` | enum | yes | lead, person, company, opportunity or project. |
| `record_id` | string | yes | Id of the record. |
| `activity_type` | string | yes | Activity Type name, e.g. Phone Call or Meeting. |
| `details` | string | no | Notes for the entry. |
| `occurred_at` | datetime | no | When it happened, ISO 8601. Default: now. |

## 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.
