Steps
Authenticate and obtain a BhRestToken as usual.
Build a Note payload including the note body/comment text and action type.
Include a commentingPerson value and a personReference value in the same PUT request so Bullhorn auto-creates the NoteEntity association to the target record.
Send the note with PUT {corporation-token}/entity/Note (not POST) to create the record.
Confirm the note appears on the target Candidate/JobOrder/ClientContact's Notes tab by querying the entity's notes association.
Known gotchas
Notes are created with PUT, not POST, which trips up developers used to REST conventions where POST creates resources.
If personReference/commentingPerson are omitted, the note is created unattached and you must make a separate call to link it via NoteEntity.
Notes can be associated with several entity types (Candidate, ClientContact, CorporateUser, JobOrder, JobShift, Lead, Opportunity) — the personReference type must match one of these.
