Add a note to a contact, account or deal.

Freshsales API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/freshsales.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/freshsales/notes`

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

Saves the note on the record, where Freshsales shows it on the timeline for everyone who can open that record. It does not post to Slack. Nothing in Cotlet deletes a note, so check the text before you approve. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `record_type` | string | yes | Contact, Account or Deal. |
| `record_id` | integer | yes | Id of that record. |
| `body` | string | yes | The note text. |

## 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.
