Create Category

Allows the agent to create a new record category in the workspace.


When to enable this tool

Use this tool when the agent needs to create a new record type in the workspace — such as a new category for cases, contracts, clients, projects, etc.

Practical examples:

  • "Create a category called 'Suppliers'"
  • "I need a new record type to track service orders"
  • The agent creates the category as a first step before adding fields and records

After creating the category, use the Create Field tool to add fields to it.

What the agent can do

  • Create a new category with name and description
  • Set icon, color, and identification prefix
  • The category becomes available to receive records immediately

Information the agent uses

InformationDescription
NameCategory name (e.g.: "Suppliers")
DescriptionOptional: explanatory text about what the category represents
IconOptional: visual icon for the category
ColorOptional: identification color
PrefixOptional: abbreviation used in record codes (e.g.: "SUP")

Important notes

  • Categories cannot be deleted after creation — only deactivated
  • The category name must be unique in the workspace
  • Adding fields to the category is a separate step — use the Create Field tool after creating the category
