Create Note

Markdown formatted string representing the note you want to create.

In Mem, the first line of a note is automatically intererpred as a title.

# Meeting with John

Discussion Topics:
- Topic 1
- Topic 2

Next steps:
[] Send John a follow-up email

Specify an array of collection titles, IDs, or a mix of both, that the note will be added to.

For example, let’s say you have the following collections in your Mem:

If you wanted to add a note to Marketing and Meeting Notes by ID, you would use:

["d848f8bb-5309-4849-91ff-10cfa4356954", "e4684d88-35cd-4186-b2a7-44100d88f086"]

Alternatively, you can use their titles directly:

["Meeting Notes", "Marketing"]

You can also mix and match:

["d848f8bb-5309-4849-91ff-10cfa4356954", "Marketing"]

**Note: **If a collection ID you provide does not exist, the API will return an error.

This defines how collections provided via the collections parameter will be resolved to collections in Mem.

smart mode

In this mode (which is the default):

1. Mem will first look for collections that are exact string matches for the provided collection.
2. If one or more exact matches are found, Mem will select the oldest collection based on collection creation dates.
3. If no exact matches are found, Mem will then perform a semantic search to see if there are any other collections with different titles that represent the same meaning.
4. If a semantically identical collection is found, Mem will select it.
5. Otherwise, Mem will create a new collection with the string provided as its title.

For example, if you only had one collection, called Meeting Notes , and you provided ["Meetings"] as the collections parameter for a new note, the note would be automatically added to your existing Meeting Notes collection because it is the nearest existing collection in meaning.

strict mode

In this mode:

1. Mem will first look for collections that are exact string matches for the provided collection.
2. If one or more exact matches are found, Mem will select the oldest collection based on collection creation dates.
3. If no exact matches are found, Mem will create a new collection with the string provided as its title.

For example, if you only had one collection, called Meeting Notes , and you provided ["Meetings"] as the collections parameter for a new note, the note would not match any existing collections, so it would be added to a newly created Meetings collection, resulting in you having two collections: Meeting Notes and Meetings.

When enabled true by default), Mem may automatically add your note to one or more collections based on its contents.

If you’ve provided specific collections with the collections parameter, Mem will first add the note to those collections, and then it will determine if organizing into any additional collections would be beneficial.

This defines how collections provided via the collections parameter will be resolved to collections in Mem.

smart mode

In this mode (which is the default):

1. Mem will identify what existing collections this note should be added to and add them.
2. Mem then determines if there are any additional collections you don’t yet have that would be useful to create and add this note to.

For example, if you only had two collections, called Meeting Notes and Marketing , and you provided a meeting transcript related to sales, the note would be automatically added to your existing Meeting Notes collection, and then it would also be added to a newly created Sales collection.

strict mode

In this mode:

1. Mem will only identify what existing collections this note should be added to and add them.

For example, if you only had two collections, called Meeting Notes and Marketing , and you provided a meeting transcript related to sales, the note would be automatically added to your existing Meeting Notes collection. Even though this note seems to be related to a new topic (sales), no new collection would be created.

Specify a template ID, template title, or template markdown to apply to the content as it’s brought into Mem.

For example, let’s say you have the following templates in your Mem:

If you wanted to apply the Recipe template to some contents you were sending via API, you would use:

{
  ...
  "template": "46c5b39d-3a84-40e7-97ab-800e041c5994"
}

Or you can specifcy the template title:

{
  ...
  "template": "Recipe"
}

Just-in-Time Templates

Alternatively, you can specify a markdown string to be used as the template.

{
  ...
  "template: "# Article Title\n\n##Summary:\n-\n..."
}

**Note: **If a template ID or title you provide does not exist verbatim, the API will interpret it as an “Just-in-Time” markdown template.

You can optionally provide Mem with additional instructions on how you’d like to organize or format this note.

For example, you can specify:

Be sure to organize this note into exactly one of my Marketing, Sales, or Recruiting collections.

Also, use bullet points in the note whenever possible.

If provided, this sets the date and time that the note will appear as though it were created at.

If this isn’t provided, the note’s created_at will default to the current date and time.

If provided, this sets the date and time that the note will appear as though it were last update at.

If this isn’t provided, the note’s updated_at will default to match its created_at.
