Create a task with a type, priority, assignee and due date, linked to a candidate.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/recruiterflow/tasks
write Confirm
Creates one task, as the Create Task form does. task_type is To-do, Call, Email, SMS or LinkedIn Message, or a custom type your admin added. priority is High, Medium, Low or None. due defaults to 3 business days from now at 10:00 AM, Recruiterflow's own default. candidate_id fills Associated With, so the task opens that profile. Several names in assigned_to create a separate task for each person, and each person sees the task in their list. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
