} POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/nextdoor/create_post
Publishes a post with a title and a description. Nextdoor's help center says business posts have no fixed radius and reach neighbors through engagement and Faves; radius and neighborhoods apply only where the post form still offers audience settings. The call fails for accounts Nextdoor still asks to verify business documents. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title required | string | Post title. |
| body required | string | Post description. |
| radius | integer | Reach neighborhoods within this distance of your business, as in the post audience settings. |
| neighborhoods | string[] | Neighborhood names to add or remove, from get_business_page. |
