Convert a lead into a deal, as the Convert button does.

Vtiger MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/vtiger.md

MCP tool: `vtiger_write → convert_contact_to_deal`

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

Runs the Convert flow on one record: a contact whose Lifecycle Stage is Lead, or a lead when the Leads module is enabled. It creates the deal with the name, amount, expected close date and pipeline you give, and can update the lifecycle stage. Field values carried over follow your Lead Conversion Data Mapping. A deal can start workflows you set up, such as emails on a sales stage. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `record_id` | string | yes | Contact or lead record id from list_contacts. |
| `deal_name` | string | yes | Name of the new deal. |
| `amount` | number | no | Deal amount. |
| `expected_close_date` | date | no | Expected close date. |
| `pipeline` | string | no | Sales pipeline of the deal. |
| `lifecycle_stage` | string | no | New Lifecycle Stage of the contact. |

## 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.
