# Add appraisal

> Add an appraisal for an owner and a property, assigned to an appraiser with a date in their calendar. Inputs, cURL, Python and Node.js examples and an example response.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/vaultre/add_appraisal

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 an appraisal for an owner and a property, assigned to an appraiser with a date in their calendar.

VaultRE API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/vaultre.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/vaultre/appraisals`

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

Does what Properties > Appraisal Wizard does. Give an existing owner_contact_id, or the owner's name, email and phone so Vault can check for a duplicate. Vault adds the appointment to the appraiser's calendar. No email or SMS reminder is set. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `property_type` | enum | yes | sale or lease. |
| `address` | string | yes | Street address of the property. |
| `appraiser` | string | yes | Email of the Vault user doing the appraisal. |
| `starts_at` | datetime | yes | Date and time of the appraisal. |
| `owner_contact_id` | string | no | Existing contact to attach as the owner. |
| `owner_name` | string | no | New owner's name, when there is no owner_contact_id. |
| `owner_email` | string | no | New owner's email. |
| `owner_phone` | string | no | New owner's phone number. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

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.
