Create a task with a type, priority, assignee and due date, linked to a candidate.

Recruiterflow API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/recruiterflow.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/recruiterflow/tasks`

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

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.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `title` | string | yes | What to do, e.g. Send Dana the salary range. |
| `task_type` | enum | yes | To-do, Call, Email, SMS or LinkedIn Message, or a custom type. |
| `priority` | enum | yes | High, Medium, Low or None. |
| `assigned_to` | string | yes | Name or email of the user. Default: you. |
| `due` | datetime | no | Due date and time. Default: 3 business days from now at 10:00. |
| `candidate_id` | string | no | Candidate to link in Associated With. |
