# log_application

> Record that you applied to a job.

<Note>
  **Write tool** — changes something on the account that owns the API key. Requires a WorkWay API key.
</Note>

Logs a job application on the account that owns the API key, so it shows up on the applications dashboard. The job is resolved by slug first, so the logged record always carries the real title and company rather than anything supplied by the caller.

## Parameters

<ParamField body="job_slug" type="string" required>
  Job slug exactly as returned by `search_jobs`.
</ParamField>

## Example prompts

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Try asking" icon="comment">
    "I just applied to that Ping Identity role, log it."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Try asking" icon="comment">
    "Mark the Figma job as applied."
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Response

```text theme={null}
Logged your application to "Staff Software Engineer" at Ping Identity. Track it at https://workway.dev/dashboard/seeker/applications
```

<Tip>
  Logging the same job twice is a no-op, not an error — use `update_application_status` to change its status instead.
