How long had it been since you checked it? That’s about a half a quart, which isn’t much if you hadn’t check it in many months, especially if your coolant system, hoses, etc. are OE. Make a note of the date you added, then check it weekly.
On the other hand, if it had only been a week between your last check of the coolant level, then you are likely loosing it somewhere. Not many places it can go….on the ground, into the motor via a bad head gasket/out the exhaust via the heads, or you could have a heater core/plumbing leak. There is a small chance too that your transmission heat exchanger has failed (if you have one), but I don’t think this is too common.
Do you smell coolant under the hood/wheel wells, etc. when the car is warm? If so then it could just be leaking into something hot and evaporating.
