Convert a lead to a Prospect event, a booking or a contact.

Tripleseat API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/tripleseat.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/tripleseat/leads/{lead_id}/convert`

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

Does what Convert this Lead does in Tripleseat: the lead details fill the new record. An event or booking needs a room (event space). A new event starts as Prospect unless you set another status. Tripleseat sends the guest no email on conversion. Converting changes what your team works on and is not reversed with one call. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `lead_id` | integer | yes | Lead ID from list_leads. |
| `convert_to` | string | yes | prospect_event, booking or contact. |
| `room_id` | integer | no | Required for prospect_event and booking. From list_rooms. |
| `event_name` | string | no | Name of the new event or booking. Default: built from the lead. |
| `status` | string | no | Prospect, Tentative or Definite. Default: Prospect. |

## 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.
