Create an invoice for a percent or a fixed amount of a job total. Needs Progressive invoicing on the account.

Housecall Pro API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/housecall-pro.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/housecall-pro/jobs/{job_id}/progress-invoices`

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

Creates one invoice on a job for a percent or a fixed amount of its total, with its own due date. It needs Progressive invoicing switched on in Settings and a job created after that, and the total invoiced cannot pass 100 percent. The amount and due date cannot be edited afterwards; void and re-invoice instead. The invoice is not sent. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `job_id` | string | yes | Job ID from list_jobs. |
| `percent` | number | no | Share of the job total, 1 to 100. Give percent or amount. |
| `amount` | number | no | Fixed amount instead of a percent. |
| `due_in_days` | integer | no | Days from today until the invoice is due. |

## 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.
