Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/fathom-video/update_settings

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Change which meetings Fathom records, what it shares after a call and whether it writes action items.

Fathom API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/fathom-video.md

`PATCH https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/fathom-video/settings`

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

Changes the Settings page fields that get_settings returns; fields you leave out stay as they are. auto_share decides what attendees on the calendar invite get after every call, so a change reaches other people. Auto-generate action items needs a Premium or Team plan. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `auto_record` | enum | no | all_meetings, external_meetings, internal_meetings or no_meetings. |
| `auto_share` | enum | no | summary_and_recording, summary_only or nothing. |
| `auto_generate_action_items` | boolean | no | true to let Fathom extract action items after calls. |

## 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.
