Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/simpletexting/assign_conversation

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)

Assign an Inbox conversation to a team member.

SimpleTexting API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/simpletexting.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/simpletexting/conversations/{conversation_id}/assign`

Access: write.

Picks the team member from the dropdown at the top of the conversation. The member must have accepted the invitation under Team. Nothing is sent to the contact, and assigning it to someone else undoes it in one call, so it does not wait for your OK.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `conversation_id` | string | yes | conversation_id from list_conversations. |
| `assignee` | string | yes | Name of the team member, as the Team page shows it. |

## Request

**cURL**

```bash
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/simpletexting/conversations/conversation_8c41d2/assign \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"assignee":"assignee"}'
```

**Python**

```python
result = client.call("simpletexting", "assign_conversation", {"conversation_id":"conversation_8c41d2","assignee":"assignee"})
```

**Node.js**

```js
const result = await cotlet.call('simpletexting', 'assign_conversation', {"conversation_id":"conversation_8c41d2","assignee":"assignee"});
```

**CLI**

```bash
cotlet call simpletexting assign_conversation --data '{"conversation_id":"conversation_8c41d2","assignee":"assignee"}'
```

## Example response

```json
{
  "conversation_id": "c_8f21a6",

}
