# Create a note

Logs a note on the timeline of the contacts, companies or deals it is associated with.

Note: `hs_timestamp` is required; attach the note to existing records with an `associations` object.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://api.hubapi.com
- Endpoint: `POST /crm/objects/2026-09/notes`
- Auth: send the header `Authorization: Bearer $HUBSPOT_API_KEY`
- Docs: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api-reference/latest/overview

Note: Use a service key or an app's static access token with the CRM scopes the calls need; paths carry a dated version such as `2026-09`.

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
