## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `requestId` | string (ID) |  | The ID of the related record. |
| `kind` | enum | Yes | Which kind of record or job this is. One of: `bank_statements`, `card_statements`, `personal_expenses`, `payroll`, `accounting_software`, `general_ledger`, `contractor_payments`, `prize_payments`, `sales_tax`, `shareholder_loans`, `capital_assets`, `prior_returns`, `other`. |
| `title` | string | Yes | A short title. 2–200 characters. |
| `detail` | string |  | at most 600 characters. Default `""`. |
| `from` | string |  | The first date to include, as YYYY-MM-DD. |
| `to` | string |  | The last date to include, as YYYY-MM-DD. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
