## Before you call it

1. Call `get-form-schema` before `request-human-review-with-form`, since the field data must match the review type
2. Send `agentId` on every API request, because the API reference marks it required even though the JS SDK doesn't
3. Pass a `webhookUrl` per request when the review type has no default, or the answer has nowhere to go
4. Deduplicate webhook calls on the `Idempotency-Key` header, since delivery is at least once
5. Set your own deadline on the agent side and treat silence as a rejection

## Connect

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.gotohuman.com/requestReview -H "x-api-key: $GOTOHUMAN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"formId":"YOUR_REVIEW_TEMPLATE_ID","fields":{"draft":"Refund order 1042 in full?"},"meta":{"threadId":"t-1"}}'
```
