# Create Prompt

> Create a new prompt in your workspace

Creates a prompt in your workspace. The key owner becomes the prompt owner and can manage it in the Prompt Library.

## Base URL

```
https://api.langdock.com/prompts/v1
```

<Warning>
  **Dedicated deployments**

  Replace `api.langdock.com` with `<your-deployment-url>/api/public` in all requests.
</Warning>

## Required Scopes

This endpoint requires the `PROMPT_API` scope.

<Info>
  Sharing the prompt with the workspace requires the `sharePrompts` permission. Assigning a folder requires write access to that folder.
</Info>

| `promptFolderId` | string | No | UUID of the folder to assign. Cannot be set when `sharedWithWorkspace` is `true`. |
| `sharedWithWorkspace` | boolean | No | Share the prompt with the workspace. Cannot be `true` when `promptFolderId` is set. |

async function createPrompt() {

    "https://api.langdock.com/prompts/v1",

      prompt: "Write a concise customer reply. Include the next best action.",

    }
  );

  console.log("Created prompt:", response.data.prompt.id);
