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)

Book an appointment for a job with a technician and a time window.

ServiceTrade API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/servicetrade.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/servicetrade/jobs/{job_id}/appointments`

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

Returns the new appointment with its status, window, technicians and released flag. Service requests must belong to the job. Leave released false to review the day first, and use update_appointment to release it. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `job_id` | integer | yes | Job to book, from list_jobs. |
| `technician_ids` | array | no | Technician ids from list_technicians. |
| `window_start` | string | no | ISO 8601 date-time with offset. |
| `window_end` | string | no | ISO 8601 date-time with offset. |
| `service_request_ids` | array | no | Services of the job to do at this appointment; none means an appointment without services. |
| `released` | boolean | no | true gives the appointment to the technicians now, false keeps it as a draft. |
