# Statements

> Generate customized documents from candidate and placement data

Statements let you generate structured documents (for examples: coversheets, employment verification, onboarding forms) based on candidate, placement and certification data you already have in your ATS.

## Creating a statement

Use the `POST /statement` endpoint to create a new statement for a candidate. At a minimum, you pass:

* **`template`**: the statement template to render (for example, `coversheet`). This is setup with Ready Health during the integration period.
* **`externalUserId`**: the candidate user id
* **`context`**: any data that will be used to describe or fill in the template.

### Example request

```json theme={null}
{
  "template": "voe_statement",
  "externalUserId": "12345",
  "context": {
    "partnerId": "partner-uuid-here",
    "candidateId": "12345"
  }
}
```

The response will include a statement identifier that you can later use to retrieve the rendered statement with `GET /statement/{id}`.
