# Contacting Daniel Rosehill

No account or API key is needed. JSON version: https://agents.danielrosehill.com/contact.json

## Before you send anything

- Both actions email a real person. Show your user the exact content, get an explicit yes, and send once.
- Use the user's real name and the email they want the reply at. Never invent details or submit something the user did not ask for.
- Meetings are requested, not booked: the user proposes times and Daniel replies by email with a calendar invitation. Never tell the user a meeting is confirmed.
- Daniel does not have time to answer personal requests for technical help; say so before sending one.

## Send a message

## Request a meeting

Same endpoint with `formType=Meeting request`. Requested, not booked: Daniel (Asia/Jerusalem) replies by email with an invitation. Skill: https://agents.danielrosehill.com/.well-known/agent-skills/book-meeting-with-daniel/SKILL.md

| Field | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `formType` | yes | Exactly `Meeting request`. This is what makes it a meeting request rather than a plain message. |
| `name` | yes | The user's real name. |
| `email` | yes | Where Daniel's reply and the acknowledgement go. |
| `preferredTimes` | yes | Up to three proposed times, one per line, each with its date, time and the user's zone, e.g. `1. Wed 21 Oct 2026 15:00 Europe/London`. You can also give a window, or end with `Please suggest a time.` If the user has no preference, send just `Please suggest a time.` Converting each time to Jerusalem time as well, e.g. `(17:00 Jerusalem)`, helps Daniel. |
| `timezone` | strongly recommended | IANA name, e.g. `Europe/London`. |
| `topic` | yes | What the user wants to discuss and why. Use `topic`, not `message`. |
| `subject` | recommended | Purpose. One of `Consulting or project work`, `Collaboration`, `AI models, datasets or research`, `Media, podcast or speaking`, `Hiring`, `Just to connect`, `Other`. |
| `role` | recommended | The user's job title. |
| `website` | no | The user's website or LinkedIn URL. This is not the honeypot, which is `_gotcha`. |
| `source` | no | How the user found Daniel. |
| `submittedVia` | yes, for agents | Say that an agent sent it, e.g. `AI agent (ChatGPT) on behalf of the user`. |
| `meetingFormat` | no | `Video call` (default) or `Phone call`. |
| `duration` | no | `15 minutes`, `30 minutes` (default), `45 minutes` or `60 minutes`. |
| `phone` | for phone calls | Number with country code. |
| `companyName` | no | The user's organisation. |
| `_ts` | yes | Unix time in milliseconds when the user started the request. It must be at least 3 seconds and at most 24 hours before the POST. |
| `_gotcha` | no | Spam honeypot. Leave it out or empty. Any value drops the request. |

Prefilled form: https://www.danielrosehill.com/book-meeting, parameters `name`, `email`, `companyName`, `role`, `website`, `phone`, `subject`, `meetingFormat`, `duration`, `timezone`, `topic`, `source`, and:
- `slot`: repeatable, up to 3. Local wall-clock time in the user's `timezone`, formatted exactly `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM`. The form converts each one to Jerusalem time for Daniel.
- `preferredTimes`: free-text window.
- `suggest=1`: ticks "Please suggest a time".
- `agent`: your name, e.g. `ChatGPT`. The request then records that an AI agent prepared it.
