# Add a person to a cadence

Adds one person to a Salesloft cadence and returns the cadence membership, whose state shows whether the cadence has started for them.

Note: Can start real outreach, so confirm the cadence first. Needs the `cadences:write` scope; for a teammate, only on a team cadence, one they own, or with their Personal Cadence Admin permission.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://api.salesloft.com
- Endpoint: `POST /v2/cadence_memberships`
- Auth: send the header `Authorization: Bearer $SALESLOFT_API_KEY`
- Docs: https://developers.salesloft.com/docs/platform/api-basics/api-key-authentication/

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.
