The task starts with the requested urgency and optional initial note; the server assigns the scheduling-task type. An idempotency key is required so retries return the original result instead of creating another task. **Beta**: this endpoint may change or be removed without notice while in beta. There is no compatibility promise until it reaches general availability. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /v1/tasks openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: ModernLoop Platform API version: 0.1.0 description: The ModernLoop Platform API for managing recruiting workflows. contact: email: support@modernloop.io servers: - url: https://api.modernloop.io security: [] tags: - name: Application - name: Candidate - name: Interview Event - name: Interview Module - name: Interviewer - name: Job - name: Job Stage - name: Organization - name: Schedule - name: Scheduling Task - name: Task Queue - name: Template paths: /v1/tasks: post: tags: - Scheduling Task summary: Create a scheduling task description: >- Creates a scheduling task for the supplied application and job stage.
