Sends an email to a candidate from their opportunity.

Lever API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/lever.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/lever/opportunities/{opportunity_id}/emails`

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

Sends one email to the candidate and returns the address and time. Lever moves an opportunity in New Lead to Reached Out when you email it, and the response shows the stage after the send. A sent email cannot be recalled. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `opportunity_id` | string | yes | Opportunity ID from list_opportunities. |
| `subject` | string | yes | Email subject. |
| `body` | string | yes | Email 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.
