# Create a Deal

`deals.create`

Start a Deal for an existing Business and a recipient from deals.list_recipients or matchmaking. Optionally link the Deal to the Business's Project. Uses the current published application and default Deal pipeline, and starts Autofill. The application stays private to your team; creation does not submit it. Save the returned Deal and application IDs. Reuse the same idempotency key and inputs when retrying.
