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)

Add a task with an assignee, due date and priority to a lead, event, booking, contact or account.

Tripleseat API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/tripleseat.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/tripleseat/records/{record_id}/tasks`

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

Does what Add Task does on the Tasks tab. The assignee on an event or booking must be its owner or a manager. Priority is low, medium or high. The task appears on the assignee's Tasks page, so the call asks you first. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `record_type` | string | yes | lead, event, booking, contact or account. |
| `record_id` | integer | yes | ID of that record. |
| `body` | string | yes | What needs to be done. |
| `assignee_id` | integer | yes | User ID. For events and bookings, the owner or a manager. |
| `due_date` | date | no | Due date. |
| `priority` | string | no | low, medium or high. |

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
