# Create a lead notification

> POST /lead/notification/

Creates a scheduled lead report notification.

<Note>
  Requires a Management API key with `MANAGEMENT_API` (or `MANAGEMENT_API_SANDBOX`) quota, and the `LEAD_GENERATION_EMAIL_REPORT_CAN_CREATE_UPDATE` permission, sent as the raw `Authorization` header value — see the [Management API overview](/api-reference/management-api/overview).
</Note>

<ParamField body="name" type="string" required>
  Internal name for the notification.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="to" type="string" required>
  Recipient email address(es).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="cc" type="string">
  CC email address(es).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="bcc" type="string">
  BCC email address(es).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="frequency" type="integer" required>
  One of the `key` values from [List lead notification frequencies](/api-reference/management-api/lead-notifications/frequency).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="lead_ids" type="array" required>
  Array of `lead_id` strings this notification reports on. Write-only — the response reflects the resolved lists under `lead_list` instead.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="is_active" type="boolean" default="true">
  Whether the notification is currently enabled.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="slack_workspace" type="integer">
  A connected Slack workspace id, to also deliver via Slack.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="slack_channel_ids" type="array">
  Slack channel ids to post to, when `slack_workspace` is set.
</ParamField>

    The complete Scanova Management API — every endpoint available at

    used to authenticate against it. Every path and request/response shape below

      description: >-
        Send your Management API key as the raw value of the Authorization
        header — no "Bearer " or "Token " prefix, and no other characters.
        Example: `Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a`. A
        header containing more than one space-separated part is rejected
        outright. Requests also require the request's Host header to be the
        management API host (e.g. api.scanova.io) — the same key sent to the
        regular API host will not authenticate.
