Create task
Add a task with a type and due date on a lead, person, company or opportunity.
MCP tool copper_crm_write → create_task
write Confirm
Adds a task the way Add Task in the Related section does. activity_type is the Activity Type Copper asks for: Phone Call, Meeting, To-do (once turned on) or one of your custom types. Tasks are visible to the whole account by default, and an assignee other than you gets it in their list. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
