Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/homerun/add_candidate_note

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)

Add an internal note to a candidate profile.

Homerun API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/homerun.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/homerun/jobs/{job_id}/candidates/{candidate_id}/note`

Access: write.

Adds a note that the hiring team sees on the profile and the candidate never sees. It reaches nobody unless it mentions a colleague, which the agent avoids, so it does not wait for your OK. Returns the note with its time.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `job_id` | string | yes | Job ID from list_jobs. |
| `candidate_id` | string | yes | Candidate ID from list_candidates. |
| `text` | string | yes | The note text. Leave out @mentions: they notify colleagues. |

## Request

**cURL**

```bash
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/homerun/jobs/job_8c41d2/candidates/candidate_8c41d2/note \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"text"}'
```
