Add an opportunity to a pipeline for an existing person.

Copper CRM API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/copper-crm.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/copper-crm/primary-contacts/{primary_contact_id}/opportunities`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Adds an opportunity the way Add Opportunity does. Copper requires only the name and the primary contact. Pipeline, stage, value and close date are optional. The opportunity is visible to your team and can trigger Workflow Automation rules. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | string | yes | Name of the opportunity. |
| `primary_contact_id` | string | yes | person_id of the primary contact, from list_people. |
| `pipeline` | string | no | Pipeline name, from list_pipelines. |
| `stage` | string | no | Stage name within the pipeline. |
| `monetary_value` | number | no | Value of the opportunity. |
| `close_date` | date | no | Close date, YYYY-MM-DD. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
