# Changelog

## Contract 2026-11-03-review.2

Second review contract. This documentation now describes it.

-   **Quote `expiry_at` needs an offset.** Timestamps without a UTC offset or `Z` are now rejected with `422 validation_failed`, as for other timestamp inputs.
-   **Quote synchronization status.** A quote's operation now states that it reports only the initial synchronization attempt. See [Create a quote](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#local-creation-and-external-synchronization).
-   **Permissions.** Conditional permissions are now listed for job `items`, a quote's `location_id`, and the `job` summary on timesheet entries. The required permissions are unchanged.
-   **Responses.** Every create's `201` response lists the `Idempotency-Key` header. `error.code` values are listed. Job item `status` and `item_type` list their known values.
-   **`job_value`.** The description now says it includes inactive items kept on the job and that its number of decimal places varies.
-   **Event feed.** The error codes it can return are narrowed to those it actually returns, and now include `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
-   **MCP tools.** `customer`, `location` and assignee summaries are optional in output schemas, because they depend on the connection's permissions. Tool descriptions were reworded.

## Contract 2026-11-03-review.1

First documented contract, under review. Covers:

-   REST reads and creates for jobs, job items, customers, customer locations, products, quotes (drafts), invoices (drafts) and member invitations; reads for members and timesheets.
-   Operation recovery for creates.
-   The change feed and webhooks for customers, customer locations, jobs and members.
-   MCP tools matching the REST capabilities.

# Release status

This documentation describes one specific version of FieldTask's API contract.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Release stage | Beta |
| Contract version | `2026-11-03-review.2` |
| Contract status | `review-only` |
| Approved for production | No |
| Backend build | `d9aa3fd43c59` |

Schemas, permissions, error codes and response headers on every reference page are generated from that contract. Examples are synthetic: their IDs, names and addresses don't belong to real records, and every example is checked against the contract when the site is built.

## What beta means

The REST API, the MCP server, webhooks and these docs are in beta. Endpoints, tools, fields, limits and behaviour can still change before general availability, and FieldTask enables the API organization by organization. Build integrations that tolerate change, as described in [Versioning and changes](https://developer.fieldtask.io/about/versioning/), and check the [changelog](https://developer.fieldtask.io/about/changelog/) when you update.

## Not decided yet

> **caution:** Until these are settled, nothing on this site is a commitment about availability, limits, support or compatibility.

-   **Addresses.** The production API and MCP addresses aren't published yet. Examples use `api.fieldtask.example` as a placeholder; use the addresses shown in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **Available features.** Which optional features are enabled in production.
-   **Webhook delivery timing.** How soon after a change a webhook is delivered isn't specified.
-   **Sandbox.** Whether a test environment will be offered.
-   **Terms and support.** See [Support and terms](https://developer.fieldtask.io/about/support/).
-   **Change policy.** See [Versioning and changes](https://developer.fieldtask.io/about/versioning/).

</page>

<page url="https://developer.fieldtask.io/about/support/">

# Support and terms

> **Not decided yet:** The support contact and the API terms of use haven't been published yet. Until they are, contact FieldTask through your usual support channel.

## What to include in a support request

-   The time of the request, with its time zone.
-   The method and path, or the MCP tool name.
-   The HTTP status and `code`.
-   The `X-Request-ID` response header (MCP: `request_id` in the error).

Never include tokens, client secrets, signing secrets or invitation links. FieldTask will never ask for them.

# Versioning and changes

## Beta

The API is in beta. Until it's generally available, anything documented here can change, including in ways that aren't backward compatible. See [Release status](https://developer.fieldtask.io/about/release-status/).

## Versions

REST paths include a major version: `/public/v1/`. Which changes FieldTask may make within a version hasn't been decided yet, so build integrations that tolerate additions:

-   ignore response fields you don't use;
-   handle unknown enum values, event types and error codes without failing (a job `status` of `unknown` is already part of the contract);
-   don't rely on the order of fields in JSON.

This site documents contract `2026-11-03-review.2`. Each published contract has its own version identifier, and the [changelog](https://developer.fieldtask.io/about/changelog/) lists what changed.

## Changes and notice

> **Not decided yet:** The compatibility policy, the notice period for breaking changes, and how changes are announced haven't been decided.

# Authentication

FieldTask has three kinds of connection. Each belongs to one organization and has its own permissions.

| Connection | Use it for | Credential |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **API token** | Your own scripts, servers and integration tools | A token you send as a bearer token |
| **OAuth client** | Integrations that already use OAuth client credentials | A client ID and secret, exchanged for short-lived access tokens |
| **AI assistant (MCP)** | AI clients such as Claude or ChatGPT | A sign-in by an owner or admin; there's no key to copy |

All three are managed by organization owners and admins in **Settings → API connections**. Before anyone can create a connection, FieldTask must enable API access for the organization; an owner or admin requests it with **Request API access**.

## API tokens

API tokens are the simplest way to call the REST API. There's no token exchange: send the token in every request.

```bash
curl "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/jobs" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"
```

### Create a token

1.  Open **Settings → API connections** and choose **Create API token**.
2.  Enter a name you'll recognize later.
3.  Choose a permission preset (**Read only**, **Read + create** or **Custom**). See [Permissions](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/permissions/).
4.  Choose when it expires: **Never**, **30 days**, **90 days** or **1 year**.
5.  Copy the token. It's shown only once, and the dialog stays open until you choose **I've saved it**. Afterwards, FieldTask shows only its last four characters, its expiry and when it was last used.

API tokens start with `ft_`. Keep them on your server or in a secret store, never in browser or mobile app code.

### Change permissions

Choose **Manage** on the token's connection to add or remove permissions. The token string stays the same, and changes apply from the next request.

### Rotate a token

Choose **Rotate token**, pick the new token's expiry, then either:

-   **Rotate now**: the old token stops working immediately. Use this if the token may have leaked.
-   **Rotate with 7-day overlap**: the old token keeps working for 7 more days while you update your integration. If the old token would have expired sooner, it still expires then. During the overlap, the connection list shows the new token.

Copy the new token; it's shown only once.

Rotating keeps the same connection, so [idempotency keys](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/) you already used stay valid for retries.

## OAuth client credentials

Use an OAuth client if your integration already follows the OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow. Create one under **For developers** with **Register OAuth client**, and save the client ID and secret; the secret is shown only once.

Request an access token from the token endpoint. Send the client credentials with HTTP Basic authentication, and set `resource` to the REST resource shown with your connection:

```bash
curl --request POST "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/o/token/" \
  --user "$FIELDTASK_CLIENT_ID:$FIELDTASK_CLIENT_SECRET" \
  --data-urlencode "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  --data-urlencode "resource=$FIELDTASK_REST_RESOURCE" \
  --data-urlencode "scope=jobs:read customers:read"
```

The response contains `access_token`, `token_type` and `expires_in`. Use the access token as a bearer token until it expires, then request a new one with the same request.

-   `resource` must be sent exactly once and must match the REST resource; otherwise the response is `invalid_target`.
-   `scope` lists the permissions you want, separated by spaces. A token can't have more permissions than its connection.
-   The token endpoint returns standard OAuth error responses, not the API's problem format.

### Rotate a client secret

Choose **Rotate secret** on the connection, save the new secret, then activate it. When you activate, choose whether the previous secret stops working immediately or keeps working for 7 days.

## AI assistants (MCP)

AI clients connect through MCP with an OAuth sign-in. An organization owner or admin signs in to FieldTask from the client, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. The client then acts on that person's behalf, within the approved permissions.

See [Connect an AI client](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/connect-a-client/) for the steps.

-   **Only owners and admins** can approve an MCP connection.
-   **Added permissions need approval.** When an admin adds a permission to an assistant's connection in **Settings → API connections**, it waits for approval. The person who connected the assistant must reconnect it and approve the new access; then refresh the client's tools.
-   **Removed permissions apply immediately**, and approving again can't restore a permission an admin removed. An admin must add it back.
-   **Reconnect** in **Manage** signs the assistant out so it can connect again.
-   Each person can also review and disconnect their own assistant connections from the sign-in pages.

MCP sign-ins only work with the MCP server. They can't call the REST API, and REST tokens can't be used with MCP.

## Limits and revocation

-   An organization can have up to 100 active connections.
-   **Revoke** a connection in **Settings → API connections** to stop it immediately. Records it already created stay in FieldTask. Revoking can't be undone; create a new connection instead.
-   FieldTask can also turn off API access for a whole organization. Existing tokens then fail with `api_access_not_enabled`.
-   Every request is checked against the connection's current permissions and the organization's current access, not only when the token was issued.

## Keep credentials safe

-   Store tokens and secrets in a secret manager or environment variables, never in source control.
-   Use a separate connection for each integration, so you can revoke one without affecting others.
-   Give each connection only the permissions it needs.
-   Never include tokens, secrets or invitation links in support requests.

# Dates and times

## Timestamps in responses

Every timestamp FieldTask returns is in UTC with a `Z` suffix, for example `2026-11-10T14:00:00Z` or `2026-11-03T14:05:12.481Z`. The number of fractional digits varies, so parse timestamps rather than comparing them as strings.

## Timestamps you send

When an input takes a timestamp, such as a job's `starts_at` and `ends_at`:

-   Send a full timestamp with seconds and an explicit offset: `2026-11-10T09:00:00-05:00` or `2026-11-10T14:00:00Z`.
-   Timestamps without an offset are rejected, and so is the offset `-00:00`.
-   Up to six fractional-second digits are accepted.
-   Time-zone names such as `America/New_York` aren't accepted. Convert to the offset in effect on that date at the job site, including any daylight-saving change.

FieldTask stores the instant you send. `09:00:00-05:00` comes back as `14:00:00Z`.

## Calendar dates

Some inputs and filters are calendar dates (`YYYY-MM-DD`) rather than instants, such as `scheduled_date` on [List jobs](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-jobs/). These are interpreted in your **organization's time zone**, set in FieldTask. When the server resolves a date for you, for example `scheduled_date=today`, the response shows the date and time zone it used.

Each endpoint states which time zone its date fields use.

<page url="https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/">

# Errors

## Error format

REST errors use `application/problem+json`:

```json
{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Forbidden",
  "status": 403,
  "code": "insufficient_scope",
  "detail": "This token doesn't have members:read.",
  "instance": "urn:uuid:99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999991",
  "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999991",
  "error": {
    "code": "missing_permission",
    "message": "This token doesn't have members:read.",
    "fix": "Edit the token's permissions in Settings → API connections.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/"
  }
}
```

-   Branch on `code`: it's the stable, machine-readable value listed below.
-   `error` is meant for people: a message, a suggested fix and a documentation link. `error.code` usually equals `code`; for a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`.
-   Errors never repeat the values you sent, and validation errors don't name the failing field.
-   Event feed errors that require you to start over also include `"resync_required": true`.

Every response, successful or not, has an `X-Request-ID` header, and errors repeat it as `request_id`.

## MCP errors

MCP tool calls that fail return a tool result with `isError: true` and the same `error` object (`code`, `message`, `fix`, `docs_url`, plus `request_id`, and `retry_after` in seconds when you should wait). Problems with the MCP connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP protocol instead, and the client asks you to sign in again.

## Error codes

Each endpoint's page lists the codes it can return. This is the complete list.

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use \`next_page_url\` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses \`NaN\`/\`Infinity\` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | \`Idempotency-Key\` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has an unknown, repeated or invalid parameter. | Send only the documented query parameters, each once. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as \`Authorization: Bearer …\`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in \*\*Settings → API connections\*\*. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. \`error.code\` is \`missing_permission\`. | Add the permission named in \`error.message\` to the connection. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the request was processed, or the result would include data the connection can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry. Retry creates with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The record doesn't exist or isn't visible to this connection, the feature isn't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the ID, the API origin and the path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The \`Allow\` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in \`Allow\`. |
| 409 | `access_context_changed` | The connection's permissions, enrollment or resource selection changed since this cursor was issued. \`resync_required\` is \`true\`. | Get a new cursor with \`after=now\`, then rebuild the affected local data from the list endpoints. |
| 409 | `external_reference_conflict` | Another record created through this client application already uses this \`external_reference\`. Nothing was updated. | Find the existing record with \`?external_reference=…\`. Use a new reference only for a genuinely new record. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used with a different body. | Resend the original body with this key, or use a new key for a different record. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | Reconcile using your saved record ID before creating anything new. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for \`Retry-After\` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 410 | `history_expired` | The cursor points to changes older than the feed keeps. \`resync_required\` is \`true\`. | Get a new cursor with \`after=now\`, then rebuild your local data from the list endpoints. |
| 410 | `operation_result_expired` | The operation result is older than seven days and is no longer kept. This doesn't mean the create failed. | Reconcile using the record ID you saved from the original response. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | The record created by this operation no longer exists. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Send a smaller body. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | \`Content-Type\` isn't \`application/json\`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with \`Content-Type: application/json\`. |
| 422 | `report_too_large` | The selected date range contains too many entries to page through. | Use a shorter date range. A smaller \`page_size\` doesn't help. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | A field is missing, unknown or invalid, a referenced record isn't eligible, or the input needs a feature that isn't enabled. | Check the request against the field descriptions. The response doesn't name the field. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for \`Retry-After\` seconds, or check remaining allowance in \*\*Settings → API connections\*\*. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for \`Retry-After\` seconds, then retry. |
| 503 | `sync_unavailable` | The change feed couldn't be read right now. | Retry with backoff using the same cursor. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

The OAuth token endpoint returns standard OAuth errors (`invalid_client`, `invalid_target` and so on) instead of this format.

## Retrying

| Status | Retry? |
| --- | --- |
| `400`, `401`, `403`, `404`, `405`, `413`, `415`, `422` | No. Fix the request, credential or permissions first. |
| `409 operation_in_progress`, `429` | Yes, after `Retry-After` seconds. |
| `503`, timeouts, connection errors | Yes, with exponential backoff. |

Always retry a create with the same [idempotency key](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/) and body.

## Contacting support

Include the time, the HTTP method and path, the status and `code`, and the `X-Request-ID`. Never include tokens, client secrets or invitation links.

</page>

<page url="https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/external-references/">

# External references

Jobs and customers accept an optional `external_reference` when you create them: your own system's identifier for the record. You can look the record up by it later without storing FieldTask IDs.

## Rules

-   1–128 characters, not only whitespace, and no control characters.
-   Stored exactly as sent: case-sensitive, never trimmed or normalized.
-   Unique per organization **and client application**. A second record of the same kind with the same reference is rejected with `409 external_reference_conflict`, and the existing record isn't changed.
-   Only jobs and customers accept it. Other creates reject the field.
-   It isn't returned in record bodies.

## Look a record up

```bash
curl --get "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/jobs" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN" \
  --data-urlencode "external_reference=example-crm-job-10482"
```

The response is a normal list with zero or one record. The `external_reference` parameter can't be combined with any other parameter, and only finds records created through your client application.

## References and idempotency keys

They solve different problems, so use both:

|  | External reference | Idempotency key |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Identifies | A record, permanently | One create request, for 7 days |
| Visible to | Your client application's lookups | Retries of the same request |
| Reuse it | To find the same record | To retry the same create |

When a create's outcome is unknown and the idempotency window has passed, look the record up by its external reference before creating it again.

</page>

<page url="https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/">

# Idempotency and recovery

Create requests never update or match existing records, so a request sent twice creates two records. To retry safely after a timeout or a network error, give each intended create an idempotency key and reuse it for every retry.

| Interface | Where the key goes |
| --- | --- |
| REST | `Idempotency-Key` request header |
| MCP | `operation_key` tool argument |

## How to use a key

1.  Before sending, generate a new key for the record you intend to create, such as a UUID, and save it with your own data.
2.  Send the create with that key.
3.  If you get no response, a timeout, a `5xx`, `409 operation_in_progress` or `429`, send **the same body with the same key** again, waiting for `Retry-After` when it's present, with backoff otherwise.
4.  Once you have a `201`, store the record ID and stop retrying.

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost. A new key means a new record.

## How the server treats a key

| Situation | Result |
| --- | --- |
| New key | The record is created: `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: false` (MCP: `replayed: false`). |
| Same key, same body, within 7 days | The original result is returned again. No second record is created and no create allowance is used: `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: true` (MCP: `replayed: true`). |
| Same key, different body | `409 idempotency_key_reused`. Nothing is created. |
| Same key while the first request is still running | `409 operation_in_progress` with `Retry-After`. |
| Same key more than 7 days later | `409 idempotency_window_expired`. Keys can never be reused for a different record. |

-   **Keys** are 16–128 printable ASCII characters.
-   **"Same body"** means the same JSON value. Property order and whitespace don't matter, but leaving a field out differs from sending its default: a body without `description` doesn't match one with `"description": null`.
-   **Keys are scoped** to the organization, the connection, the identity behind it (for MCP, the person who approved the connection) and the kind of record. Rotating a token keeps the scope. The same key on a different connection is a different request and creates another record.
-   **Replays are authorized again.** If the connection has lost a permission since the first request, the replay is rejected rather than returned.
-   **Without a key**, the server generates one and returns it in the `Idempotency-Key` response header (MCP: `operation_key` in the result). That protects retries only if you receive the response, so always send your own key.

## Recover the outcome

Every successful create returns an operation: the `Operation-Location` header in REST, `operation_id` in MCP. Read it with [Get an operation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-operation/) or [`fieldtask_get_operation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-operation/) to confirm what was created and to check follow-up work.

A `201` means the record is saved. Follow-up work, such as geocoding an address or synchronization with a connected system, runs separately, is reported on the operation, and never removes the record.

## After seven days

Retained results and operations expire seven days after the create. After that:

-   Replaying the key returns `409 idempotency_window_expired`.
-   Reading the operation returns `410 operation_result_expired`.

Neither means the create failed. Reconcile with the record ID you saved, or with an [external reference](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/external-references/), before creating anything new.

</page>

<page url="https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/">

# Pagination

List endpoints return one page of records in `data` and paging details in `page`:

```json
"page": {
  "has_more": true,
  "next_cursor": "EXAMPLE_OPAQUE_CURSOR",
  "next_page_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/v1/jobs?page_size=25&cursor=EXAMPLE_OPAQUE_CURSOR"
}
```

## Follow `next_page_url`

The simplest way to read every page is to request `page.next_page_url` until it's `null`, sending the same `Authorization` header each time. The URL keeps your page size, ordering and filters.

```python
url = f"{API_ORIGIN}/public/v1/customers?page_size=100"
while url:
    body = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=30).json()
    process(body["data"])
    url = body["page"]["next_page_url"]
```

## Page size and ordering

-   `page_size` is 1–100. The default is 25.
-   `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first). Records created at the same moment are ordered by ID.

Some lists also have filters, documented on each endpoint.

## Cursors

If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as the `cursor` parameter.

-   Treat cursors as opaque. Don't parse, store long-term or construct them.
-   Keep `page_size`, `ordering` and every filter unchanged while following a cursor. A cursor only works with the query, connection and permissions that produced it; otherwise the response is `400 invalid_cursor`.
-   Cursors expire within 24 hours.
-   To change the query, start again without a cursor.

## Lists are live

Pages show current data, not a snapshot. A record created or changed while you page through may appear on a later page or not at all. To keep another system in sync, use the [event feed or webhooks](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/webhooks-or-polling/) rather than repeatedly listing everything.

## MCP list tools

MCP list tools take the same `page_size`, `ordering` and `cursor` arguments and return the same `page` object. FieldTask tells AI clients to follow pages before concluding that a record doesn't exist.

</page>

<page url="https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/rate-limits/">

# Rate limits and quotas

FieldTask limits requests in three ways, both for the organization as a whole and for each connection:

| Limit | Applies to | When it's reached |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Requests per minute | Reads and creates, counted separately | `429 rate_limit_exceeded` |
| Concurrent requests | Requests in progress at the same time | `429 rate_limit_exceeded` |
| Daily allowance | Records created, reads, and recovery reads, counted separately | `429 daily_quota_exceeded` |

FieldTask sets the limits for each organization, and a connection can have a lower allowance than its organization. The exact numbers aren't published here; owners and admins see today's usage and remaining allowances in **Settings → API connections**. Daily allowances reset at 00:00 UTC.

MCP tool calls count against the same limits as REST requests.

## Handling `429`

Every `429` includes `Retry-After` in seconds (MCP: `retry_after`). Wait at least that long before retrying. Retrying sooner doesn't help and still counts as a request.

-   For `rate_limit_exceeded`, the wait is short: until the next minute, or a couple of seconds for concurrency.
-   For `daily_quota_exceeded`, the wait lasts until the allowance resets.

## Things that don't use your allowance

-   Replaying a create with its original [idempotency key](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/) doesn't count as another create.
-   Reading an operation, and looking records up by `external_reference`, can use a separate recovery allowance once normal reads are used up, so you can still confirm outcomes.

## Reduce your usage

-   Use the [event feed or webhooks](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/webhooks-or-polling/) instead of repeatedly listing everything.
-   Use `page_size=100` when reading many records.
-   Filter on the server, for example `scheduled_date` on jobs, instead of downloading everything and filtering yourself.

# MCP quickstart

This guide connects an AI client to FieldTask and creates a job from a plain-language request. You need to be an owner or admin of a FieldTask organization with API access enabled, and an AI client that supports remote MCP servers, such as Claude.

## 1. Connect your client

1.  In FieldTask, open **Settings → API connections**. If you see **Request API access**, request it and wait for FieldTask to enable it.
2.  Under **AI assistants**, choose your client, for example **Connect Claude**, and follow the steps shown.
3.  When the FieldTask sign-in page opens, sign in, choose your organization, choose **Read + create** under **Access you grant**, and select **Allow access**.

See [Connect an AI client](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/connect-a-client/) for other clients and command-line setup.

## 2. Check the connection

Ask your client:

> What jobs are scheduled for today in FieldTask?

The client calls `fieldtask_list_jobs` and answers from your data. If it can't find FieldTask's tools, check that the connection appears under **Active connections** in **Settings → API connections**, and refresh the client's tools.

## 3. Create a job

Ask, using a real customer from your organization:

> Create an unscheduled job called "MCP quickstart test" for Example Property Services.

The client looks up the customer, may ask you to confirm which customer or location you mean, then calls `fieldtask_create_job`. Its wording varies, but you can check the effect:

-   The job appears under **Jobs** in FieldTask, for the customer you named.
-   The tool result includes the new job's `data.id` and an `operation_id`.

## 4. Confirm the outcome

Ask:

> Check the operation for that job.

The client calls `fieldtask_get_operation`. The result shows `local_status: "committed"`, meaning the job is saved.

If a create ever times out or looks uncertain, ask the client to check like this before asking it to try again.

## Next steps

-   What the client can do with jobs: [`fieldtask_create_job`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-job/).
-   How clients find records and retry safely: [How FieldTask tools work](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/how-tools-work/).
-   Change what the client can access: [Permissions](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/permissions/).

# Overview

FieldTask's developer platform lets other software read and create records in a FieldTask organization: jobs, customers and their locations, products and prices, job line items, draft quotes and invoices, and member invitations. It can also report worked hours and tell you when records change.

There are two ways in:

|  | REST API | MCP |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Best for | Your own applications, scripts and integrations | AI clients such as Claude or ChatGPT |
| You send | HTTP requests with IDs | Plain-language requests; the client calls tools |
| Credentials | An API token or OAuth client | An owner or admin signs in from the client |
| Safe retries | `Idempotency-Key` header | `operation_key` argument |
| Start here | [REST quickstart](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/rest-quickstart/) | [MCP quickstart](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/mcp-quickstart/) |

Both use the same permissions, checks, limits and records. A job created through MCP is the same as one created through REST.

## What's available

| Records | Read | Create |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Jobs](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-jobs/) | List, filter by scheduled day, get | Unscheduled or timed, with location, assignees and line items |
| [Job items](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-job-items/) | List and get a job's line items | Add catalog items to a job |
| [Customers](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customers/) | List and get | Create |
| [Customer locations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-locations/) | List and get | Create, with address geocoding |
| [Products and services](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/) | List, search and get, with prices | Create with initial prices |
| [Quotes](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/) | List and get, with items and totals | Create drafts |
| [Invoices](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-invoices/) | List and get, with items, totals and balances | Create drafts |
| [Members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/) | List and get the roster | — |
| [Member invitations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-member-invitations/) | List and get | Invite ordinary members |
| [Timesheets](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-timesheet-range/) | A member's hours and time entries | — |

To keep another system up to date, use [webhooks or the event feed](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/webhooks-or-polling/) for customers, locations, jobs and members.

The platform reads and creates records only. It doesn't update or delete existing records, cancel or reschedule jobs, change assignments or roles, send quotes or invoices, collect payments, or accept quotes. Use the FieldTask app for those.

## What you need

-   A FieldTask organization with API access enabled. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   An owner or admin to create the connection and choose its permissions.
-   Some features, such as timed scheduling, job items, quotes and invoices, must also be enabled by FieldTask, and invoicing must be turned on for your organization.

See [Release status](https://developer.fieldtask.io/about/release-status/) for what's decided about availability, support and versioning.

</page>

<page url="https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/permissions/">

# Permissions

Every connection has a set of permissions. Each REST endpoint and MCP tool lists the permissions it needs, and a request fails with `403` and `error.code: missing_permission` if one is missing.

## Permission dependencies

Some permissions only make sense together. For example, creating a job requires reading jobs and customers. When you choose a create permission in **Settings → API connections**, the read permissions it depends on are selected automatically.

Dependencies are requirements, not automatic grants: the connection must actually hold every permission in the set. The table below is generated from the permission map of the API version this site documents.

| Permission | Requires directly | Complete set to grant |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `customer_locations:create` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` | `customer_locations:create`, `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |
| `customer_locations:read` | `customers:read` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |
| `customers:create` | `customers:read` | `customers:create`, `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | — | `customers:read` |
| `invoices:create` | `customers:read`, `invoices:read`, `products:read` | `customers:read`, `invoices:create`, `invoices:read`, `products:read` |
| `invoices:read` | `customers:read` | `customers:read`, `invoices:read` |
| `job_items:create` | `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read` | `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read` |
| `job_items:read` | `jobs:read` | `job_items:read`, `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:create` | `customers:read`, `jobs:read` | `customers:read`, `jobs:create`, `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | — | `jobs:read` |
| `members:invite` | `members:read` | `members:invite`, `members:read` |
| `members:read` | — | `members:read` |
| `products:create` | `products:read` | `products:create`, `products:read` |
| `products:read` | — | `products:read` |
| `quotes:create` | `customers:read`, `products:read`, `quotes:read` | `customers:read`, `products:read`, `quotes:create`, `quotes:read` |
| `quotes:read` | `customers:read` | `customers:read`, `quotes:read` |
| `timesheets:read` | `members:read` | `members:read`, `timesheets:read` |

## Inputs that need extra permissions

Some optional inputs need permissions beyond the endpoint's own. For example, creating a job with a `location_id` also needs `customer_locations:read`. Each create page lists these under **Permissions**.

## Fields that need extra permissions

Reads return a record's own fields with the endpoint's permission. Summaries of related records need the related permission too. For example, a job's `customer` summary needs `customers:read`. Without it, the field is left out rather than causing an error.

For example, timesheet entries include the related job's name only when the connection has `jobs:read`.

## Invitation authority

Member invitations need more than `members:invite` and `members:read`: a person with authority to invite must stand behind the connection.

-   **REST connections:** the owner or admin who created the connection with invitation access, or who last saved its permissions, is its sponsor. They must still be an eligible owner or admin.
-   **MCP connections:** the owner or admin who approved the connection must still be one.

If that person loses their role, invitation endpoints return `403 operation_forbidden`, and the MCP invitation tools disappear from the client's tool list. See [Create a member invitation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/).

## Features that must also be enabled

A permission doesn't turn a feature on. Some features also need FieldTask to enable them, such as timed job scheduling, job items, quotes and invoices. Others depend on your organization's own settings: invoice creation needs invoicing enabled for the organization, and member invitations need an eligible owner or admin behind the connection.

## Changing permissions

| Connection | Add a permission | Remove a permission |
| --- | --- | --- |
| API token | **Manage** → select it. Applies from the next request. | Applies from the next request. |
| OAuth client | **Manage** → select it, then include it in `scope` when requesting a token. | Applies from the next request. |
| AI assistant (MCP) | Waits for approval: the person who connected the assistant must reconnect and approve, then refresh tools. | Applies from the next request. |

Existing access tokens never gain permissions they weren't issued with.

# REST quickstart

This guide takes you from no access to a created job. You need to be an owner or admin of a FieldTask organization with API access enabled.

## 1. Create an API token

1.  In FieldTask, open **Settings → API connections**. If you see **Request API access**, request it and wait for FieldTask to enable it.
2.  Choose **Create API token** and name it, for example "Quickstart".
3.  Choose **Custom** and select **Create jobs**. **Read jobs** and **Read customers** are selected automatically.
4.  Create the token and copy it. It's shown only once; choose **I've saved it** when you have it.

Set it and your API origin (shown in **Settings → API connections**) in your shell:

```bash
export FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN="https://api.fieldtask.example"   # use your own origin
read -r -s -p "FieldTask API token: " FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN && export FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN
```

## 2. Find a customer

**cURL**

list-customers.sh:

```bash
curl "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/customers?page_size=5" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"
```

**Python**

list_customers.py:

```python
import os

import requests  # pip install requests

response = requests.get(
    f"{os.environ['FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN']}/public/v1/customers",
    params={"page_size": 5},
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN']}"},
    timeout=30,
)
print(response.status_code, response.text)
```

**Node.js**

list-customers.mjs:

```js
// Node.js 18 or later.
const response = await fetch(`${process.env.FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN}/public/v1/customers?page_size=5`, {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN}` },
});
console.log(response.status, await response.text());
```

**Ruby**

list_customers.rb:

```ruby
require "net/http"

uri = URI("#{ENV.fetch("FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN")}/public/v1/customers?page_size=5")
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
request["Authorization"] = "Bearer #{ENV.fetch("FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN")}"
response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: uri.scheme == "https") { |http| http.request(request) }
puts response.code, response.body
```

**PHP**

list_customers.php:

```php
<?php
// PHP 8.1 or later with the curl extension.
$curl = curl_init(getenv('FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN') . '/public/v1/customers?page_size=5');
curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => ['Authorization: Bearer ' . getenv('FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN')],
]);
$body = curl_exec($curl);
echo curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE), PHP_EOL, $body, PHP_EOL;
```

**Java**

ListCustomers.java:

```java
// Java 17 or later. Run with: java ListCustomers.java
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;

public class ListCustomers {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder(
                URI.create(System.getenv("FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN") + "/public/v1/customers?page_size=5"))
            .header("Authorization", "Bearer " + System.getenv("FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"))
            .build();
        HttpResponse<String> response = HttpClient.newHttpClient()
            .send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
        System.out.println(response.statusCode() + "\n" + response.body());
    }
}
```

**Go**

list_customers.go:

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, os.Getenv("FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN")+"/public/v1/customers?page_size=5", nil)
	req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"))
	res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()
	body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
	fmt.Println(res.StatusCode, string(body))
}
```

**.NET**

ListCustomers.cs:

```csharp
// .NET 8: in a new console project (dotnet new console), replace Program.cs with this.
using var client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"Bearer {Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN")}");
var response = await client.GetAsync($"{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN")}/public/v1/customers?page_size=5");
Console.WriteLine($"{(int)response.StatusCode}\n{await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync()}");
```

**Rust**

list_customers.rs:

```rust
// Cargo.toml: reqwest = { version = "0.12", default-features = false, features = ["blocking", "rustls-tls"] }
use std::env;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let response = reqwest::blocking::Client::new()
        .get(format!("{}/public/v1/customers?page_size=5", env::var("FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN")?))
        .bearer_auth(env::var("FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN")?)
        .send()?;
    println!("{}\n{}", response.status(), response.text()?);
    Ok(())
}
```

You get up to five customers. Copy the `id` of the one the job is for:

```json
{
  "data": [
    { "id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111", "name": "Example Property Services" }
  ],
  "page": { "has_more": true, "next_cursor": "EXAMPLE_OPAQUE_CURSOR", "next_page_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/v1/customers?page_size=5&cursor=EXAMPLE_OPAQUE_CURSOR" }
}
```

Customers have more fields than shown here; see [List customers](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customers/). If you have no customers yet, create one with [Create a customer](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/), which also needs **Create customers**.

## 3. Create a job

Generate an idempotency key and keep it in your shell, so you can retry safely if the request times out:

```bash
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY=$(python3 -c 'import uuid; print(uuid.uuid4())')
```

Then create an unscheduled job:

**cURL**

create-job.sh:

```bash
curl --include --request POST "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/jobs" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  --data '{
    "name": "Quickstart test job",
    "customer_id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111"
  }'
```

**Python**

create_job.py:

```python
import os

import requests  # pip install requests

response = requests.post(
    f"{os.environ['FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN']}/public/v1/jobs",
    json={"name": "Quickstart test job", "customer_id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111"},
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": os.environ["IDEMPOTENCY_KEY"],
    },
    timeout=30,
)
print(response.status_code, "replayed:", response.headers.get("Idempotency-Replayed"))
print(response.text)
```

**Node.js**

create-job.mjs:

```js
// Node.js 18 or later.
const response = await fetch(`${process.env.FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN}/public/v1/jobs`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Idempotency-Key': process.env.IDEMPOTENCY_KEY,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ name: 'Quickstart test job', customer_id: '11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111' }),
});
console.log(response.status, 'replayed:', response.headers.get('Idempotency-Replayed'));
console.log(await response.text());
```

**Ruby**

create_job.rb:

```ruby
require "json"
require "net/http"

uri = URI("#{ENV.fetch("FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN")}/public/v1/jobs")
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)
request["Authorization"] = "Bearer #{ENV.fetch("FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN")}"
request["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
request["Idempotency-Key"] = ENV.fetch("IDEMPOTENCY_KEY")
request.body = JSON.generate(name: "Quickstart test job", customer_id: "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111")
response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: uri.scheme == "https") { |http| http.request(request) }
puts "#{response.code} replayed: #{response["Idempotency-Replayed"]}", response.body
```

**PHP**

create_job.php:

```php
<?php
// PHP 8.1 or later with the curl extension.
$curl = curl_init(getenv('FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN') . '/public/v1/jobs');

    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HEADER => true, // print the response headers too, including Idempotency-Replayed
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [

```

**.NET**

CreateJob.cs:

```csharp
// .NET 8: in a new console project (dotnet new console), replace Program.cs with this.
using System.Net.Http.Json;

using var client = new HttpClient();
using var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, $"{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN")}/public/v1/jobs")
{
    Content = JsonContent.Create(new { name = "Quickstart test job", customer_id = "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111" }),
};
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", $"Bearer {Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN")}");
request.Headers.Add("Idempotency-Key", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("IDEMPOTENCY_KEY"));
var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
var replayed = response.Headers.TryGetValues("Idempotency-Replayed", out var values) ? values.First() : "";
Console.WriteLine($"{(int)response.StatusCode} replayed: {replayed}\n{await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync()}");
```

**Rust**

create_job.rs:

```rust
// Cargo.toml: reqwest = { version = "0.12", default-features = false, features = ["blocking", "json", "rustls-tls"] }
//             serde_json = "1"
use std::env;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let response = reqwest::blocking::Client::new()
        .post(format!("{}/public/v1/jobs", env::var("FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN")?))
        .bearer_auth(env::var("FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN")?)
        .header("Idempotency-Key", env::var("IDEMPOTENCY_KEY")?)
        .json(&serde_json::json!({
            "name": "Quickstart test job",
            "customer_id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111"
        }))
        .send()?;
    let replayed = response.headers().get("Idempotency-Replayed").and_then(|v| v.to_str().ok()).unwrap_or("").to_owned();
    println!("{} replayed: {}\n{}", response.status(), replayed, response.text()?);
    Ok(())
}
```

Replace `customer_id` with the ID from step 2. You get `201 Created`, the job in `data`, and headers including `Location` (the job's URL) and `Operation-Location`.

The job now appears under **Jobs** in FieldTask.

## 4. Retry safely

Run the same command or program again in the same shell, **without generating a new key**. You get the same `201` response with `Idempotency-Replayed: true`, and no second job is created. That's how to retry after a timeout. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

## Next steps

-   Schedule, locate and assign jobs: [Create a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/).
-   Read all pages of a list: [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).
-   Handle errors: [Errors](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/).

| **Request API access** shows instead of connection options | API access isn't enabled for the organization. | Request it and wait for FieldTask to enable it. |
| Every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled` | Access was disabled for the organization. | Contact FieldTask. |
| `401 invalid_token` | The token expired, was rotated or revoked, has a typo, or isn't a REST credential (for example, an MCP sign-in). | Check the token's status in **Settings → API connections**. Create or rotate a token if needed. |
| OAuth token request returns `invalid_target` | `resource` is missing, repeated or doesn't match the REST resource. | Send `resource` once, exactly as shown with the connection. |
| A lost OAuth client secret | Secrets are shown only once. | Rotate the secret instead of creating another connection. |

## Permissions and features

| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `403` with `error.code: missing_permission` | The connection lacks a permission, possibly one needed by an optional input such as `location_id`. | Add the permission named in `error.message`. See [Permissions](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/permissions/). |
| A field is missing from responses | The field needs a related read permission, such as `customers:read` for a job's `customer`. | Add the read permission. |
| `405 method_not_allowed` on a create | That create isn't enabled in this environment. | Contact FieldTask. |
| `422 validation_failed` on a timed job, assignees or items | That feature isn't enabled, or an input is invalid. | Check the input against the field guide; if it's valid, contact FieldTask. |

## Creates and retries

| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A record was created twice | The retry used a new idempotency key, or no key. | Always save a key before sending and reuse it for retries. See [Idempotency](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/). |
| `409 idempotency_key_reused` | The retry's body differs from the original, even slightly (for example a field added as `null`). | Resend the exact original body. |
| `409 external_reference_conflict` | Another record already uses that reference. | Look it up with `?external_reference=…` instead of creating it again. |
| `422 validation_failed` with a valid-looking body | A referenced record is inactive, belongs to another customer or organization, or isn't eligible. | Re-read the referenced records with the list endpoints. |

## MCP clients

| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- |
| FieldTask tools don't appear | The connection wasn't approved, was revoked, or the client hasn't refreshed its tools. | Check **Active connections**, reconnect if needed, and refresh the client's tools. |
| A tool you expect is missing | The connection lacks its permission, or the feature isn't enabled. | Add the permission; the person who connected the client must approve it. |
| New permissions don't take effect | Added permissions wait for approval. | The person who connected the client reconnects and approves, then refreshes tools. |
| The client asks for an ID | It couldn't resolve a name. | Give more detail, such as the customer's email or address. |

## Getting help

When you contact support, include the time, the method and path (or tool name), the status and `code`, and the `X-Request-ID` (`request_id` for MCP). Never include tokens, client secrets or invitation links.

# Common workflows

Each workflow lists the calls in order, with the permissions the connection needs. Every create in these workflows should use its own [idempotency key](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

## Schedule a job for a new customer

Permissions: `customers:create`, `customer_locations:create`, `jobs:create`, `members:read` (their read dependencies are selected automatically).

1.  Check whether the customer exists: [List customers](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customers/), filtering by `external_reference` if your system stored one when it created them.
2.  If not, [create the customer](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/). Save `data.id`.
3.  [Create a location](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/) for the job site. Save `data.id`. Its address is geocoded afterwards; you don't need to wait.
4.  Find the technician's member ID with [List members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/).
5.  [Create the job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/) with `customer_id`, `location_id`, a timed `schedule` and `assignee_member_ids`.

Through MCP, the same request can be a single sentence: "Create Example Property Services at 100 Example Avenue, Springfield, and schedule an inspection there on 10 November, 9:00–11:00 New York time, assigned to Alex." The client performs these steps with the matching tools.

## Add catalog items to a job

Permissions: `job_items:create` and its dependencies (`job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read`).

1.  Find the product and, if it has several prices, the price ID: [List products](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/).
2.  Either include the items in `items` when you [create the job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#line-items), or [add them to an existing job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/).
3.  Read the job again to see the updated `job_value`.

## Draft a quote or invoice

Permissions: `quotes:create` or `invoices:create` and their dependencies.

1.  Find the customer and the products to include.
2.  Create the draft: [Create a quote](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/) or [Create an invoice](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/).
3.  Review and send it from the FieldTask app. The API creates drafts only; it never sends them, collects payment or accepts quotes.

## Invite a team member

Permissions: `members:invite` and `members:read`, on a connection whose owner or admin is still eligible to invite.

1.  [Create an invitation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/) with the person's email address.
2.  FieldTask emails the invitation. Track it with [Get a member invitation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-member-invitation/).
3.  Once accepted, the person appears in [List members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/) and can be assigned to jobs.

## Report a member's hours

Permissions: `timesheets:read` and `members:read`.

1.  Find the member with [List members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/).
2.  Read their totals for a date range with [Get timesheet totals](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-timesheet-range/), or the individual entries with [List timesheet entries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-timesheet-entries/).

## Keep another system in sync

1.  Choose [webhooks, the event feed, or both](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/webhooks-or-polling/).
2.  Get a starting cursor, then copy current records with the list endpoints.
3.  Apply each change as it arrives by reading the current record. See [Event feed](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-feed/).

# Connect an AI client

AI clients connect to FieldTask through its MCP server. You add FieldTask's MCP URL to the client, an organization owner or admin signs in and approves access, and the client can then use FieldTask's tools within the permissions you chose.

## Before you start

-   You need to be an **owner or admin** of the FieldTask organization.
-   FieldTask must have enabled **API and MCP access** for the organization. If it hasn't, choose **Request API access** in **Settings → API connections**.
-   Your client must support remote MCP servers over HTTP with OAuth sign-in. There's no API key to paste.

Your organization's MCP URL is shown in **Settings → API connections** (**Copy MCP URL**). The examples below use the placeholder `https://api.fieldtask.example/mcp`.

## Connect from FieldTask

The easiest way is to start from FieldTask:

1.  Open **Settings → API connections**.
2.  Under **AI assistants**, choose your client, for example **Connect Claude**.
3.  Follow the steps shown. FieldTask opens the client with the URL filled in where the client supports it.
4.  When the FieldTask sign-in page opens, sign in, choose the organization and the access to give, and choose **Allow access**.
5.  Ask the client something like "What jobs are scheduled for tomorrow?" to check the connection.

The connection then appears under **Active connections**, where you can change its access or revoke it.

## Client-specific steps

> **Pending verification:** These steps match FieldTask's connect screens for the contract this site documents. Client interfaces change often, and compatibility with each client hasn't yet been verified for this release.

| Client | Steps |
| --- | --- |
| Claude | Choose **Add to Claude** in FieldTask. Claude opens its custom connector dialog with FieldTask filled in. Choose **Add**, then **Connect**, and approve on the FieldTask page. |
| ChatGPT | Choose **Copy URL and open ChatGPT**. In ChatGPT's connector settings, turn on Developer Mode, choose **Add connector**, name it FieldTask, paste the URL, then **Connect** and approve on the FieldTask page. |
| Cursor | Choose **Add to Cursor**, confirm the install, then approve on the FieldTask page. |
| VS Code | Choose **Install in VS Code**, confirm the install and start the server, then sign in and approve on the FieldTask page. |
| Other MCP apps | Find the option to add a remote MCP server or connector, paste the MCP URL, then sign in and approve when asked. No client ID or key is needed. |

### Command-line clients

For Claude Code:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http fieldtask https://api.fieldtask.example/mcp
```

For Codex:

```bash
codex mcp add fieldtask --url https://api.fieldtask.example/mcp
```

Use your organization's MCP URL instead of the placeholder. The client opens the FieldTask sign-in page the first time it uses the server.

## Manual registration

Most clients register themselves automatically when they connect. If yours needs a client ID registered in advance, use **For developers → Register MCP client manually** in **Settings → API connections** and enter the client's callback URL. FieldTask creates a public OAuth client that signs in with PKCE (there's no client secret) and shows its client ID and the MCP URL. Approval still happens on the FieldTask sign-in page.

## What the client can do

The tools a client sees depend on the permissions you approved and the features FieldTask has enabled. Ask the client to list its FieldTask tools, or see the [tool reference](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-jobs/).

To change access later, see [Permissions](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/permissions/#changing-permissions). Added permissions wait for approval: the person who connected the client must reconnect and approve, then refresh the client's tools.

## Disconnect

-   An owner or admin can **Revoke** the connection in **Settings → API connections**. It stops working immediately; records it created stay in FieldTask.
-   **Reconnect** signs the client out so it can connect again.

# How FieldTask tools work

FieldTask's MCP tools run the same checks and return the same data as the REST API. This page explains what's different when an AI client is the caller.

## You use names; the client uses IDs

Every tool argument that refers to a record is an ID, but you never need to supply one. Describe the customer, place or person, and the client resolves them with the list tools:

| You mention | The client looks it up with |
| --- | --- |
| A customer | `fieldtask_list_customers`, by name or contact details |
| A site or address | `fieldtask_list_customer_locations` for that customer |
| A person to assign | `fieldtask_list_members`, by display name |
| A product or service | `fieldtask_list_products` |
| A job | `fieldtask_list_jobs` |

FieldTask's instructions to the client are to:

-   ask you to choose when a name matches more than one record, using details you can recognize rather than IDs;
-   follow every page of results before deciding a record doesn't exist;
-   never invent an ID, and never create a duplicate to avoid a lookup;
-   explain a missing permission instead of treating it as "no results".

These are instructions, not guarantees. Check important changes in FieldTask, or ask the client to read the record back.

## What the tools return

Each tool returns structured JSON (`structuredContent`) matching the schema shown on its page, and the same JSON as text for clients that only read text. Record names and descriptions come from your organization's data; FieldTask tells clients to treat that text as data, not as instructions.

Which fields appear depends on the connection's permissions. For example, a job's customer summary needs `customers:read`.

## Creating records safely

Create tools never update or match existing records. To make retries safe, create tools take an `operation_key`: calling again with the same key and arguments returns the original result instead of creating a second record. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

If a create seems to fail or times out, ask the client to check, for example "check the operation for that job" or "list today's jobs for Example Property Services", before asking it to create the record again. Every create result includes an `operation_id` that [`fieldtask_get_operation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-operation/) can look up for seven days.

## Errors

A failed tool call returns `isError: true` with an `error` object: `code`, `message`, `fix`, `docs_url`, `request_id`, and `retry_after` when the client should wait. The codes are the same as the REST API's, with `missing_permission` for a missing permission. See [Errors](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/).

One error is specific to MCP: `response_too_large` means a created record, such as a draft with many line items, is too large to return through MCP. Nothing is created. Create fewer items, or use the REST API.

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, come from the MCP protocol rather than a tool result. The client asks you to sign in again.

## Limits

Tool calls count against the same per-minute, concurrency and daily limits as REST requests. See [Rate limits and quotas](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/rate-limits/).

Create a customer location

# fieldtask_create_customer_location

Creates a record

-   **Permissions:** `customer_locations:create`, `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`POST /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/)
-   **Safe retries:** `operation_key`

`fieldtask_create_customer_location` lets an AI client connected to FieldTask through MCP add one service location to an existing customer: a named address where your team works, with an optional position and geofence radius. It accepts the same inputs as [`POST /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/), with the customer passed as the `customer_id` argument, and runs the same checks.

You describe the customer and the address in plain language. The client finds the customer with `fieldtask_list_customers`, then calls this tool with its ID. The tool only creates; it never updates or merges with an existing location.

> **Preview:** This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Your client's discovered tool list is the authority for what your connection can use. Looking up coordinates from the address works only where FieldTask has enabled it.

## Before you start

-   **MCP access for your organization.** FieldTask enables API and MCP access per organization. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **An organization owner or admin to approve the connection.** When the client connects, that person signs in to FieldTask, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. The tool then acts on their behalf within the approved permissions.
-   **An AI client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in.** You add FieldTask's MCP server address to the client; the address is shown with your connection settings. MCP uses its own sign-in: REST API tokens and client secrets don't work here.
-   **Location creation enabled through MCP.** If `fieldtask_create_customer_location` isn't in your client's tool list after connecting, MCP location creation isn't enabled by FieldTask, or the connection lacks `customer_locations:create`.
-   **An existing customer.** Archived customers can be used; deleted customers can't. To add a new customer first, the client uses [`fieldtask_create_customer`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-customer/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_locations:create` | Depends on `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |
| `customer_locations:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

No argument needs an additional permission. The same permissions also let the client find the customer with `fieldtask_list_customers` and check its existing locations with `fieldtask_list_customer_locations`.

**Changing permissions.** An owner or admin can reduce an MCP connection's permissions or revoke it in **Settings → API connections**; removals apply to the next tool call. Added permissions stay pending until the person who connected the client signs in and approves again. Then refresh the client's tools so it discovers the new inputs and tools.

## How the client fills in the arguments

| Argument | Where it comes from |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | `fieldtask_list_customers`, matched by name or contact details, or `data.id` from `fieldtask_create_customer`. You never need to supply an ID. |
| `name`, `address` | What you say. Both are required. |
| `radius` | What you say, in metres. FieldTask instructs the client to use 100 metres when you don't give one, which is also the default when it's left out. |
| `latitude`, `longitude` | Only coordinates you give. FieldTask instructs the client never to invent coordinates. When they're left out, FieldTask looks up the address after the location is saved. |

When you ask for a job at a customer that has no saved location, FieldTask instructs the client to ask you for the job site address, create the location with this tool and use its ID for the job, unless you choose to go without a location. See [`fieldtask_create_job`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-job/#how-the-client-finds-ids).

## Example prompts and their effects

The client's wording and the exact sequence of lookups vary by client and model. What you can rely on is the effect in FieldTask and the identifiers in the tool result.

| You ask | Tools the client typically calls | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Add a location called *Main office* at 100 Example Avenue, Springfield for Example Property Services." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_list_customer_locations`, `fieldtask_create_customer_location` | The location appears on the customer with a 100 m radius. If it's the customer's first, the result has `data.is_default: true` and the customer's primary address is set to that address when it had none. `data.latitude` is `null` and, where FieldTask looks up addresses, `integration.status` is `pending`. |
| "Add their *North warehouse* at 200 Example Road, Springfield, with a 250 metre geofence." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_create_customer_location` | A second location with `radius: 250` and `is_default: false`. The default location doesn't change. |
| "Add *Main office* at 100 Example Avenue, Springfield, latitude 39.799, longitude -89.644." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_create_customer_location` | The result already has those coordinates, and no address lookup is queued. |
| "Has FieldTask found the coordinates for the Main office yet?" | `fieldtask_get_operation` or `fieldtask_get_customer_location` | Once the lookup has succeeded, the location's `latitude` and `longitude` are no longer `null`. |

If something looks wrong, open the customer's locations in FieldTask, or ask the client to fetch the location with `fieldtask_get_customer_location` using the returned `data.id`.

## Arguments

These are the arguments for the first example above, as the client sends them after looking up the customer:

fieldtask_create_customer_location arguments:

```json
{
  "customer_id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111",
  "name": "Main office",
  "address": "100 Example Avenue, Springfield",
  "radius": 100,
  "operation_key": "6b2f8d14-9c3e-4a7b-8e51-d40a2c9f7e36"
}
```

The arguments follow the same rules as the REST request body. In short:

-   `name` and `address` are each at most 256 characters, with no line breaks or other control characters.
-   `latitude` and `longitude` go together or not at all.
-   `radius` is a whole number of metres from 1 upwards, whatever distance unit your organization displays.
-   There's no `external_reference` for locations.

See the [REST field guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/#field-guide) for details. The MCP-specific arguments are `customer_id`, which REST takes from the URL, and `operation_key`.

Arguments for `fieldtask_create_customer_location`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `address`stringrequired
    
    `1–256 characters`
    
    Pattern`^[^\u0000-\u001F\u007F-\u009F\uD800-\uDFFF]+(?![\s\S])`
-   `customer_id`string (uuid)required
    
    Resolve the customer by name/contact details with fieldtask_list_customers, or reuse data.id from fieldtask_create_customer. Do not ask the user to supply an ID.
    
-   `name`stringrequired
    
    `1–256 characters`
    
    Pattern`^[^\u0000-\u001F\u007F-\u009F\uD800-\uDFFF]+(?![\s\S])`
-   `latitude`numberoptional
    
    Known latitude; supply together with longitude. Do not invent coordinates.
    
-   `longitude`numberoptional
    
    Known longitude; omit both coordinates to geocode the address asynchronously.
    
-   `operation_key`stringoptional
    
    `16–128 characters`
    
    Pattern `^[\u0020-\u007E]+(?![\s\S])`
    
-   `radius`integeroptionaldefault 100
    
    Geofence radius in metres. Defaults to 100 when omitted.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

A successful call returns the location as `structuredContent`, with the operation details alongside it. The same JSON is also sent as text content for clients that only read text.

## Default location and primary address

-   A customer's first location becomes its default (`is_default: true`). Later locations never change the default.
-   If the customer already has locations but none is marked as default, which can happen with older data, the call fails with `validation_failed`. Make one of the customer's locations the default in FieldTask, then retry.
-   A customer's first location also sets the customer's primary address, if it had none. If it already had a different one, that address is kept and the operation reports a `blocked` target with `reconciliation_required`. Later locations never change the primary address.

See [The customer's primary address](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/#the-customers-primary-address) for the full rules.

## Retries and `operation_key`

`operation_key` makes a create safe to retry. It works like REST's `Idempotency-Key`:

-   The same key with the same arguments within seven days returns the original result with `replayed: true`. No second location is created.
-   The same key with different arguments, **including a different `customer_id`**, fails with `idempotency_key_reused`.
-   A key is 16–128 printable ASCII characters and can never be reused for a different location, even after seven days.
-   Keys are scoped to the organization, the MCP connection and the person who approved it.
-   The JSON-RPC request ID isn't an operation key.

If the client doesn't send `operation_key`, the server generates one and returns it in the result. That protects retries only if the client receives the result. If a call times out or the client is unsure whether it succeeded, ask it to list the customer's locations before trying again, rather than asking it to create the location again. Locations have no `external_reference`, so the name and address are the only way to recognize one.

## Errors

When a call fails, the result has `isError: true` and an `error` object in `structuredContent` with `code`, `message`, `fix`, `docs_url` and `request_id`. Errors that ask you to wait also include `retry_after` in seconds. See [Create a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-job/#errors) for an example.

| `error.code` | Meaning | What to do |

| `missing_permission` | The connection lacks `customer_locations:create`, `customer_locations:read` or `customers:read`. | Add it in **Settings → API connections**, approve it in the client's sign-in, then refresh the client's tools. |
| `validation_failed` | An argument is missing, unknown or invalid; only one coordinate was sent; the customer doesn't exist or was deleted; or the customer has locations but no default. | Check the arguments against the field guide and look the customer up again. The error doesn't name the field. |
| `api_access_not_enabled` | API and MCP access isn't enabled for this organization. | Request access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the call ran, or a replay would return data it can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same `operation_key`. |
| `idempotency_key_reused` | The `operation_key` was used with different arguments or a different customer. | Retry with the original arguments, or use a new key for a different location. |
| `operation_in_progress` | A call with the same key is still running. | Wait `retry_after` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `idempotency_window_expired` | The key is more than seven days old. This doesn't mean the original call failed. | List the customer's locations before creating anything new. |
| `resource_gone` | The key was replayed, but the location it created, or its customer, has since been deleted. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| `rate_limit_exceeded`, `daily_quota_exceeded` | A per-minute, concurrency or daily limit was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds. |
| `resource_not_found` | The tool or a feature it needs isn't available. | Refresh the client's tools; contact FieldTask if you expected it. |
| `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't complete the call. The location may or may not exist. | Retry with the same `operation_key`, or list the customer's locations first. |

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP transport rather than as a tool result. The client then asks you to sign in again.

## Recovery and follow-up work

Every successful result includes `operation_id`. To check a create later, the client calls [`fieldtask_get_operation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-operation/) with `id` set to that value. It needs `customer_locations:read` and `customers:read`, and works only on the same connection.

The operation reports `local_status: "committed"`: the location exists regardless of anything else. `integration.status` covers follow-up work, which for a location can be:

-   **A coordinate lookup**, when you didn't give coordinates. It's `pending` while queued or being retried, `succeeded` once the coordinates are saved, `blocked` with `configuration_required` where FieldTask hasn't enabled lookups, and `failed` with `invalid_upstream_data` if the address couldn't be found. If the location is edited or deleted before the lookup finishes, it's `blocked` with `reconciliation_required` and nothing is overwritten.
-   **A primary-address conflict**, reported as `blocked` with `reconciliation_required`, as described above.
-   **External synchronization of the customer's new primary address**, reported as `blocked` with `configuration_required` where your organization has external customer synchronization turned on. This is pending confirmation for the release.

Targets don't say which kind of work they are. See [What happens after the location is saved](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/#what-happens-after-the-location-is-saved) for details.

Operation results are kept for seven days.

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `false` | Each new call can create another record. Reuse operation_key to retry safely. |
| `openWorldHint` | `true` | Can start work outside FieldTask, such as external synchronization. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `false` | Changes data in FieldTask. |

Create a customer

# fieldtask_create_customer

Creates a record

-   **Permissions:** `customers:create`, `customers:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`POST /public/v1/customers`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/)
-   **Safe retries:** `operation_key`

`fieldtask_create_customer` lets an AI client connected to FieldTask through MCP create one customer. It accepts the same inputs as [`POST /public/v1/customers`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/) and runs the same checks, so a customer created here is identical to one created through REST.

The tool only creates. It never updates or merges with an existing customer, even one with the same name.

> **Preview:** This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Your client's discovered tool list is the authority for what your connection can use.

## Before you start

-   **MCP access for your organization.** FieldTask enables API and MCP access per organization. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **An organization owner or admin to approve the connection.** When the client connects, that person signs in to FieldTask, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. The tool then acts on their behalf within the approved permissions.
-   **An AI client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in.** You add FieldTask's MCP server address to the client; the address is shown with your connection settings. MCP uses its own sign-in: REST API tokens and client secrets don't work here.
-   **Customer creation enabled through MCP.** If `fieldtask_create_customer` isn't in your client's tool list after connecting, MCP customer creation isn't enabled by FieldTask, or the connection lacks `customers:create`.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:create` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

No argument needs an additional permission.

**Changing permissions.** An owner or admin can reduce an MCP connection's permissions or revoke it in **Settings → API connections**; removals apply to the next tool call. Added permissions stay pending until the person who connected the client signs in and approves again. Then refresh the client's tools so it discovers the new inputs and tools.

## Avoiding duplicate customers

FieldTask instructs the client to look for an existing customer with `fieldtask_list_customers`, following every page, before it creates one, and never to create a duplicate to avoid a lookup. These are instructions to the client, not guarantees, so check what was created.

The server does enforce one rule: an email address can belong to only one customer in your organization, including customers that were deleted in FieldTask. A second customer with an email address that's already in use is rejected with `validation_failed`, and nothing is created. Email addresses are compared exactly, including upper and lower case. See [Email addresses](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/#email-addresses).

## Example prompts and their effects

The client's wording and the exact sequence of lookups vary by client and model. What you can rely on is the effect in FieldTask and the identifiers in the tool result.

| You ask | Tools the client typically calls | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Add a new customer called *Example Property Services*, email [facilities@example.com](mailto:facilities@example.com), phone +1 555 555 0100." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_create_customer` | The customer appears under **Customers** with that email and phone number. The result's `data.id` is the new customer's ID and `replayed` is `false`. |
| "Add *Example Property Services* as a customer, with their main office at 100 Example Avenue, Springfield." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_create_customer`, `fieldtask_create_customer_location` | The customer has one location, *Main office*, which is its default. The customer's primary address is that address. |
| "Add *Example Property Services*" when a customer with that name already exists | `fieldtask_list_customers` | FieldTask instructs the client to avoid duplicates, so it typically points out the existing customer instead of creating one. If it went ahead, a second customer with the same name appears under **Customers**. |
| "Add a customer with the email [facilities@example.com](mailto:facilities@example.com)" when that email is already in use | `fieldtask_list_customers`, possibly `fieldtask_create_customer` | No new customer is created. If the client tried, the result is an error with `validation_failed`. |

If something looks wrong, open the customer in FieldTask, or ask the client to fetch it with `fieldtask_get_customer` using the returned `data.id`.

## Arguments

These are the arguments for the first example above:

fieldtask_create_customer arguments:

```json
{
  "name": "Example Property Services",
  "email": "facilities@example.com",
  "phone_number": "+15555550100",
  "operation_key": "3c9d2e7a-5b14-4f8e-a6d1-0e7b9c2f4a58"
}
```

Only `name` is required. The arguments follow the same rules as the REST request body: for example, `phone_number` must be in international format with no spaces, such as `+15555550100`, and `color` is `#RRGGBB`. See the [REST field guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/#field-guide). The only MCP-specific argument is `operation_key`.

You can't give the customer an address here. To add one, the client creates a location for the customer with [`fieldtask_create_customer_location`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-customer-location/).

Arguments for `fieldtask_create_customer`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `name`stringrequired
    
    Outer whitespace is trimmed; blank/control/surrogate text is rejected.
    
    `1–256 characters`
    
    Pattern`^[^\u0000-\u001F\u007F-\u009F\uD800-\uDFFF]+(?![\s\S])`
-   `color`string | nulloptional
    
-   `email`string (email) | nulloptional
    
    Exact-case uniqueness within the organization, including inactive rows; no trimming, normalization or upsert.
    
-   `external_reference`stringoptional
    
    Exact case-sensitive reference in this organization/client application. Never trimmed or normalized.
    
    `1–128 characters`
    
    Pattern`^[^\u0000-\u001F\u007F-\u009F\uD800-\uDFFF]+(?![\s\S])`
-   `operation_key`stringoptional
    
    `16–128 characters`
    
    Pattern `^[\u0020-\u007E]+(?![\s\S])`
    
-   `phone_number`string | nulloptional
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

A successful call returns the customer as `structuredContent`, with the operation details alongside it. The same JSON is also sent as text content for clients that only read text.

  "data": {
    "id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111",

  "replayed": false
}
```

## Retries and `operation_key`

`operation_key` makes a create safe to retry. It works like REST's `Idempotency-Key`:

-   The same key with the same arguments within seven days returns the original result with `replayed: true`. No second customer is created.
-   The same key with different arguments fails with `idempotency_key_reused`.
-   A key is 16–128 printable ASCII characters and can never be reused for a different customer, even after seven days.
-   Keys are scoped to the organization, the MCP connection and the person who approved it.
-   The JSON-RPC request ID isn't an operation key.

A replay returns the result as it was when the customer was created. Because the key is checked first, a retry with the same key never fails on the customer's own email address.

If the client doesn't send `operation_key`, the server generates one and returns it in the result. That protects retries only if the client receives the result. If a call times out or the client is unsure whether it succeeded, ask it to check first, for example "is Example Property Services in FieldTask now?", rather than asking it to create the customer again.

## Errors

When a call fails, the result has `isError: true` and an `error` object in `structuredContent` with `code`, `message`, `fix`, `docs_url` and `request_id`. Errors that ask you to wait also include `retry_after` in seconds. See [Create a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-job/#errors) for an example.

| `error.code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `missing_permission` | The connection lacks `customers:create` or `customers:read`. | Add it in **Settings → API connections**, approve it in the client's sign-in, then refresh the client's tools. |
| `validation_failed` | An argument is missing, unknown or invalid, or the email address already belongs to another customer, possibly a deleted one. | Check the arguments against the field guide. The error doesn't name the field. |
| `api_access_not_enabled` | API and MCP access isn't enabled for this organization. | Request access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the call ran, or a replay would return data it can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same `operation_key`. |
| `external_reference_conflict` | Another customer from this client application already uses the `external_reference`. | Find the existing customer instead of creating another. |
| `idempotency_key_reused` | The `operation_key` was used with different arguments. | Retry with the original arguments, or use a new key for a different customer. |
| `operation_in_progress` | A call with the same key is still running. | Wait `retry_after` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `idempotency_window_expired` | The key is more than seven days old. This doesn't mean the original call failed. | Check whether the customer exists before creating anything new. |
| `resource_gone` | The key was replayed, but the customer it created has since been deleted. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| `rate_limit_exceeded`, `daily_quota_exceeded` | A per-minute, concurrency or daily limit was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds. |
| `resource_not_found` | The tool or a feature it needs isn't available. | Refresh the client's tools; contact FieldTask if you expected it. |
| `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't complete the call. The customer may or may not exist. | Retry with the same `operation_key`, or check for the customer first. |

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP transport rather than as a tool result. The client then asks you to sign in again.

## Recovery

Every successful result includes `operation_id`. To check a create later, the client calls [`fieldtask_get_operation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-operation/) with `id` set to that value. It needs `customers:read` and works only on the same connection.

The operation reports `local_status: "committed"` and an `integration.status` for follow-up work. The customer exists regardless of that status.

> **Pending confirmation:** In the review contract, customers created through MCP aren't sent to a connected CRM. If your organization has external customer synchronization turned on, the operation reports a `blocked` target with `configuration_required`. Otherwise `integration.status` is `not_applicable`.

Operation results are kept for seven days.

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `false` | Each new call can create another record. Reuse operation_key to retry safely. |
| `openWorldHint` | `true` | Can start work outside FieldTask, such as external synchronization. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `false` | Changes data in FieldTask. |

Create a draft invoice

# fieldtask_create_invoice

Creates a record

-   **Permissions:** `customers:read`, `invoices:create`, `invoices:read`, `products:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`POST /public/v1/invoices`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/)
-   **Safe retries:** `operation_key`

`fieldtask_create_invoice` lets an AI client connected to FieldTask through MCP create one **draft** invoice for an existing customer, priced from your catalog, with optional taxes and a discount. It accepts the same inputs as [`POST /public/v1/invoices`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/) and runs the same checks, so an invoice created here is identical to one created through REST.

A draft invoice is only saved in FieldTask. The tool never sends the invoice to the customer, never collects or records a payment, and never links the invoice to a job. No FieldTask tool does those things; someone in your organization sends the invoice from FieldTask when it's ready.

You describe the invoice in plain language. The client looks up the customer and catalog items with FieldTask's other tools, then calls this tool with their IDs.

> **Preview:** This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Your client's discovered tool list is the authority for what your connection can use.

## Before you start

-   **MCP access for your organization.** FieldTask enables API and MCP access per organization. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **Invoicing enabled for your organization.** If your organization can't use invoices in FieldTask, the invoice tools aren't offered.
-   **An organization owner or admin to approve the connection.** When the client connects, that person signs in to FieldTask, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. The tool then acts on their behalf within the approved permissions.
-   **An AI client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in.** You add FieldTask's MCP server address to the client; the address is shown with your connection settings. MCP uses its own sign-in: REST API tokens and client secrets don't work here.
-   **Products and services in your catalog.** Every line item comes from the catalog, at a catalog price.

If `fieldtask_create_invoice` isn't in your client's tool list after connecting, invoicing isn't enabled for your organization, MCP invoice creation isn't enabled by FieldTask, or the connection lacks one of the permissions below.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `invoices:create` | Depends on `customers:read`, `invoices:read`, `products:read` |
| `invoices:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

No argument needs further permissions.

To resolve names into IDs, the client also needs read access for the lookup tools it uses: `fieldtask_list_customers` (`customers:read`) and `fieldtask_list_products` (`products:read`).

**Changing permissions.** An owner or admin can reduce an MCP connection's permissions or revoke it in **Settings → API connections**; removals apply to the next tool call. Added permissions stay pending until the person who connected the client signs in and approves again. Then refresh the client's tools so it discovers the new inputs and tools.

## How the client finds IDs

Every reference argument is an ID, but you never need to supply one:

| Argument | Where the ID comes from |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | `fieldtask_list_customers`, matched by name or contact details, or `data.id` from `fieldtask_create_customer` |
| `items[].product_id`, `items[].price_id` | `fieldtask_list_products`. A product with several prices needs `price_id`. |

FieldTask's tool descriptions also tell the client to ask you to choose when a name matches more than one record. That's an instruction to the client, not a guarantee. Check what was created, as described below.

## Example prompts and their effects

The client's wording and the exact sequence of lookups vary by client and model. What you can rely on is the effect in FieldTask and the identifiers in the tool result.

| You ask | Tools the client typically calls | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Create a draft invoice for Example Property Services for one condenser fan motor replacement, dated today and due in 30 days, with 8.25% sales tax." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_list_products`, `fieldtask_create_invoice` | A new draft invoice for that customer appears in FieldTask with the returned `data.invoice_number`. The result's `data.status` is `draft` and `data.discounted_amount` is `200.26`. Check `data.issued_date` and `data.due_date`: the client works out the dates. |
| "Invoice Example Property Services and email it to them." | The same lookups, then `fieldtask_create_invoice` | A draft invoice is created and nothing is sent: `data.status` is `draft`. Send it from FieldTask. |
| "Create an invoice and mark it paid." | The same lookups, then `fieldtask_create_invoice` | A draft invoice is created with `data.paid_amount` of `0.00`. No payment is recorded or collected. |
| "Did that invoice reach our CRM?" | `fieldtask_get_operation` | The result shows `local_status: "committed"` and the follow-up `integration.status`. |

If something looks wrong, open the invoice in FieldTask, or ask the client to fetch it with `fieldtask_get_invoice` using the returned `data.id`.

## Arguments

These are the arguments for the first example above, as the client sends them after looking up the customer and product:

fieldtask_create_invoice arguments:

```json
{
  "customer_id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111",
  "name": "Condenser fan motor replacement",
  "issued_date": "2026-11-03",
  "due_date": "2026-12-03",
  "items": [
    {
      "product_id": "44444444-4444-4444-8444-444444444444",
      "price_id": "55555555-5555-4555-8555-555555555555",
      "quantity": "1",
      "tax1": true
    }
  ],
  "tax1": { "name": "Sales tax", "type": "percent", "amount": "8.25" },
  "operation_key": "6e2f8b14-0c5a-4d97-a3e1-9b7c4f2d8a63"
}
```

The arguments follow the same rules as the REST request body: `issued_date` is required, a tax applies only to items flagged with `tax1` or `tax2`, a fixed tax is added once for each flagged item, and a percentage discount is taken from the total including tax. See the [REST field guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#field-guide) and [Totals, taxes and discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#totals-taxes-and-discounts). The only MCP-specific argument is `operation_key`.

## Result

A successful call returns the draft invoice, with its items, taxes and discount, as `structuredContent`, with the operation details alongside it. The same JSON is also sent as text content for clients that only read text.

`discounted_amount` is the final invoice total and `balance` is what's still owed. Amounts are decimal strings rounded half to even, so 8.25% of 185.00 (15.2625) becomes `15.26`. `subject`, `po_number` and `notes` are saved with the invoice but not returned.

## Retries and `operation_key`

`operation_key` makes a create safe to retry. It works like REST's `Idempotency-Key`:

-   The same key with the same arguments within seven days returns the original result with `replayed: true`. No second invoice is created.
-   The same key with different arguments fails with `idempotency_key_reused`.
-   A key is 16–128 printable ASCII characters and can never be reused for a different invoice, even after seven days.
-   Keys are scoped to the organization, the MCP connection and the person who approved it. A key from one connection means nothing on another.
-   The JSON-RPC request ID isn't an operation key.

If the client doesn't send `operation_key`, the server generates one and returns it in the result. That protects retries only if the client receives the result. If a call times out or the client is unsure whether it succeeded, ask it to check before trying again, for example "list the draft invoices for Example Property Services" or "check the operation for that invoice", rather than asking it to create the invoice again. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

## Errors

When a call fails, the result has `isError: true` and an `error` object in `structuredContent`:

Tool error result (structuredContent):

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_failed",
    "message": "The request contains invalid fields.",
    "fix": "Check the documented request fields.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/",
    "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999997"
  }
}
```

Errors that ask you to wait also include `retry_after` in seconds.

| `error.code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `missing_permission` | The connection lacks a permission for this call. | Add it in **Settings → API connections**, approve it in the client's sign-in, then refresh the client's tools. |
| `validation_failed` | An argument is missing, unknown or invalid; the customer or a product isn't eligible; a price choice matches no option or more than one; an item is flagged with a tax the invoice doesn't define; a percentage discount is over 100; or your plan's invoice allowance for today is used up. | Check the arguments against the field guide. The error doesn't name the field. |
| `api_access_not_enabled` | API and MCP access isn't enabled for this organization. | Request access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the call ran, or a replay would return a customer it can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same `operation_key`. |
| `idempotency_key_reused` | The `operation_key` was used with different arguments. | Retry with the original arguments, or use a new key for a different invoice. |
| `operation_in_progress` | A call with the same key is still running. | Wait `retry_after` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `idempotency_window_expired` | The key is more than seven days old. This doesn't mean the original call failed. | Check whether the invoice exists before creating anything new. |
| `rate_limit_exceeded`, `daily_quota_exceeded` | A per-minute, concurrency or daily limit was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds. |
| `response_too_large` | The draft invoice, expanded with all its items and descriptions, is too large to return through MCP. Nothing was created. | Send fewer items, or create the invoice through REST. Don't retry the same call unchanged. |
| `resource_gone` | A replay found that the invoice created with this key has since been deleted. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| `resource_not_found` | The tool, or invoicing for your organization, isn't available. | Refresh the client's tools; contact FieldTask if you expected it. |
| `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't complete the call. The invoice may or may not exist. | Retry with the same `operation_key`, or check for the invoice first. |

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP transport rather than as a tool result. The client then asks you to sign in again.

## Recovery

Every successful result includes `operation_id`. To check a create later, the client calls `fieldtask_get_operation` with `id` set to that value. It needs `invoices:read` and `customers:read`, and works only on the same connection.

The operation reports `local_status: "committed"` and an `integration.status` for follow-up work, such as creating the invoice in a connected CRM. The invoice exists regardless of that status, and the follow-up never sends it or records a payment. Never ask the client to create the invoice again to force synchronization: that creates a second invoice. See [Local creation and external synchronization](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#local-creation-and-external-synchronization) for what each status means for an invoice.

Operation results are kept for seven days.

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `false` | Each new call can create another record. Reuse operation_key to retry safely. |
| `openWorldHint` | `true` | Can start work outside FieldTask, such as external synchronization. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `false` | Changes data in FieldTask. |

Add a job item

# fieldtask_create_job_item

Creates a record

-   **Permissions:** `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`POST /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/)
-   **Safe retries:** `operation_key`

`fieldtask_create_job_item` lets an AI client connected to FieldTask through MCP add one catalog product or service to an existing job, priced from the catalog. It accepts the same inputs as [`POST /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/) and runs the same checks, so an item added here is identical to one added through REST.

You name the job, the product and, if it has several prices, the price to use. The client looks up the IDs with FieldTask's other tools, then calls this tool.

> **Preview:** This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Your client's discovered tool list is the authority for what your connection can use.

## Before you start

-   **MCP access for your organization.** FieldTask enables API and MCP access per organization. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **An organization owner or admin to approve the connection.** When the client connects, that person signs in to FieldTask, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. The tool then acts on their behalf within the approved permissions.
-   **An AI client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in.** See [Connect a client](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/connect-a-client/). REST API tokens and client secrets don't work here.
-   **Job items enabled through MCP.** If `fieldtask_create_job_item` isn't in your client's tool list after connecting, FieldTask hasn't enabled adding job items through MCP, or the connection lacks `job_items:create`.
-   **An existing job and an available catalog product.** To add a product that isn't in the catalog yet, create it first with [`fieldtask_create_product`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-product/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `job_items:create` | Depends on `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read` |
| `job_items:read` | Depends on `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

The lookup tools the client needs are covered by these permissions: [`fieldtask_list_jobs`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-jobs/) (`jobs:read`), [`fieldtask_list_products`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-products/) (`products:read`) and [`fieldtask_list_job_items`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-job-items/) (`job_items:read`).

**Changing permissions.** An owner or admin can reduce an MCP connection's permissions or revoke it in **Settings → API connections**; removals apply to the next tool call. Added permissions stay pending until the person who connected the client signs in and approves again. Then refresh the client's tools so it discovers the new tool.

## How the client finds IDs and chooses a price

Every reference argument is an ID, but you never need to supply one.

| Argument | Where the ID comes from |
| --- | --- |
| `job_id` | `fieldtask_list_jobs`, matched by name or job number, or `data.id` from `fieldtask_create_job` |
| `product_id` | `fieldtask_list_products`, searched by name, or `data.id` from `fieldtask_create_product` |
| `price_id`, `price_source` | The product's `prices`, as returned by `fieldtask_list_products` or `fieldtask_get_product` |

FieldTask's tool descriptions tell the client to:

-   ask you to choose when a job or product name matches more than one record;
-   ask you to choose a price when the product has several options, keeping options with the same amount separate, and never pick one itself.

These are instructions to the client, not guarantees. The server, however, never chooses a price: if the arguments don't identify exactly one eligible price option, the call fails with `validation_failed` and nothing is added. The rules are in [Choosing a price](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#choosing-a-price).

## Example prompts and their effects

The client's wording and the exact sequence of lookups vary by client and model. What you can rely on is the effect in FieldTask and the identifiers in the tool result.

| You ask | Tools the client typically calls | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Add a condenser fan motor replacement to the *Replace condenser fan motor* job." | `fieldtask_list_jobs`, `fieldtask_list_products` | The product has two prices, *Standard* 185.00 and *After hours* 260.00, so the client asks which to use. Nothing is added to the job until you answer. |
| "Use the standard price." | `fieldtask_create_job_item` | The job has a new item. The result's `data.price_name` is `Standard`, `data.unit_price` is `185.00` and `data.amount` is `185.0000`. The job's `job_value` goes up by 185.00. |
| "Add 4 air filters to the same job." | `fieldtask_list_products`, `fieldtask_create_job_item` | The product has only one price, so the client doesn't need to ask. The item has `quantity` `4.00`, `unit_price` `24.50` and `amount` `98.0000`. |
| "Add the condenser fan motor at $150." | Usually `fieldtask_list_products` only | Custom prices aren't supported: an item's unit price is always one of the product's catalog prices. Expect the client to offer those instead. |
| "Did that get added? Check the items on the job." | `fieldtask_list_job_items` | The new item is listed with the returned `data.id`. |

If something looks wrong, open the job in FieldTask, or ask the client to fetch the item with [`fieldtask_get_job_item`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-job-item/) using the returned `data.id` and `data.job_id`.

## Arguments

These are the arguments for the second example above, after you chose the Standard price:

fieldtask_create_job_item arguments:

```json
{
  "job_id": "77777777-7777-4777-8777-777777777777",
  "product_id": "44444444-4444-4444-8444-444444444444",
  "price_id": "55555555-5555-4555-8555-555555555555",
  "quantity": "1",
  "operation_key": "c41e7b90-5a2d-4e6f-8b13-9d07a6f2e5c8"
}
```

The arguments follow the same rules as the REST request: the product must be approved and available, `quantity` is a decimal string defaulting to `"1.00"`, and `price_id` or `price_source` must leave exactly one eligible price. See the [REST field guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#field-guide). The MCP-specific arguments are `job_id`, which REST takes from the URL, and `operation_key`.

Arguments for `fieldtask_create_job_item`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `job_id`string (uuid)required
    
    Resolve the job by name or job number with fieldtask_list_jobs and use its returned ID.
    
-   `product_id`string (uuid)required
    
-   `operation_key`stringoptional
    
    `16–128 characters`
    
    Pattern `^[\u0020-\u007E]+(?![\s\S])`
    
-   `price_id`string (uuid)optional
    
    Named price ID from products.prices. Required when more than one option is eligible.
    
-   `price_source`"price" | "legacy"optional
    
    Select legacy explicitly when using the legacy unit price.
    
-   `quantity`stringoptionaldefault "1.00"
    
    Pattern `^(0|[1-9][0-9]{0,7})(\.[0-9]{1,2})?$`
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

A successful call returns the new item as `structuredContent`, with the operation details alongside it. The same JSON is also sent as text content for clients that only read text.

fieldtask_create_job_item result:

```json
{
  "data": {
    "id": "aaaaaaaa-aaaa-4aaa-8aaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa",
    "job_id": "77777777-7777-4777-8777-777777777777",
    "name": "Condenser fan motor replacement",
    "description": "Remove and replace a failed condenser fan motor, including parts and labour.",
    "item_type": "service",

    "allow_evidences": false,
    "created_at": "2026-11-03T14:12:09.716Z",

  },

  "operation_key": "c41e7b90-5a2d-4e6f-8b13-9d07a6f2e5c8",

  "integration": { "status": "not_applicable", "updated_at": "2026-11-03T14:12:09.716Z", "targets": [] },
  "replayed": false
}
```

What the item means for the job:

-   Its name, description, type and unit price are copied from the catalog. Later catalog changes don't affect it, and it has no product or price ID.
-   It starts with `status: "to do"` and `allow_evidences: false`.
-   The job's `job_value` increases by `amount`. Quotes and invoices keep their own line items and don't change.
-   FieldTask doesn't check the job's status, so items can be added to completed or cancelled jobs. Ask the client to check the job first if that matters.

See [What's saved on the job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#whats-saved-on-the-job) for details.

## Retries and `operation_key`

`operation_key` makes a create safe to retry. It works like REST's `Idempotency-Key`:

-   The same key with the same arguments within seven days returns the original result with `replayed: true`. No second item is added.
-   The same key with different arguments, including a different `job_id`, fails with `idempotency_key_reused`.
-   A key is 16–128 printable ASCII characters and can never be reused for a different item, even after seven days.
-   Keys are scoped to the organization, the MCP connection and the person who approved it. A key from one connection means nothing on another.
-   The JSON-RPC request ID isn't an operation key.

If the client doesn't send `operation_key`, the server generates one and returns it in the result. That protects retries only if the client receives the result. Job items have no external reference, so if a call times out or the client is unsure whether it succeeded, ask it to list the job's items before trying again, rather than asking it to add the item again. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

## Errors

When a call fails, the result has `isError: true` and an `error` object in `structuredContent` with `code`, `message`, `fix`, `docs_url` and `request_id`. Errors that ask you to wait also include `retry_after` in seconds. See [Errors](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/#mcp-errors).

| `error.code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `missing_permission` | The connection lacks `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `jobs:read` or `products:read`. | Add it in **Settings → API connections**, approve it in the client's sign-in, then refresh the client's tools. |
| `validation_failed` | An argument is missing, unknown or invalid; the product isn't approved or available; or the price arguments don't identify exactly one eligible option. | Read the product again and choose a price. The error doesn't name the field. |
| `resource_not_found` | The job doesn't exist in your organization or has been deleted, or the tool or a feature it needs isn't available. | Look the job up again with `fieldtask_list_jobs`; refresh the client's tools if the tool is missing. |
| `api_access_not_enabled` | API and MCP access isn't enabled for this organization. | Request access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the call ran, or a replay would return data it can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same `operation_key`. |
| `idempotency_key_reused` | The `operation_key` was used with different arguments or a different job. | Retry with the original arguments, or use a new key for a different item. |
| `operation_in_progress` | A call with the same key is still running. | Wait `retry_after` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `idempotency_window_expired` | The key is more than seven days old. This doesn't mean the original call failed. | List the job's items before adding anything new. |
| `resource_gone` | The item this key added, or its job, has since been deleted. | Don't add it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| `rate_limit_exceeded`, `daily_quota_exceeded` | A per-minute, concurrency or daily limit was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds. |
| `response_too_large` | The new item is too large to return through MCP. Nothing was added. | Add the item through REST. Don't retry the same call unchanged. |
| `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't complete the call. The item may or may not have been added. | Retry with the same `operation_key`, or list the job's items first. |

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP transport rather than as a tool result. The client then asks you to sign in again.

## Recovery

Every successful result includes `operation_id`. To check a create later, the client calls [`fieldtask_get_operation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-operation/) with `id` set to that value. It needs `job_items:read` and `jobs:read` and works only on the same connection. Operation results are kept for seven days.

The operation reports `local_status: "committed"`. Adding a job item queues no follow-up work, so `integration.status` is always `not_applicable`.

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `false` | Each new call can create another record. Reuse operation_key to retry safely. |
| `openWorldHint` | `true` | Can start work outside FieldTask, such as external synchronization. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `false` | Changes data in FieldTask. |

Create a job

# fieldtask_create_job

Creates a record

-   **Permissions:** `customers:read`, `jobs:create`, `jobs:read` [\+ conditional](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-job/#permissions)
-   **REST equivalent:** [`POST /public/v1/jobs`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/)
-   **Safe retries:** `operation_key`

`fieldtask_create_job` lets an AI client connected to FieldTask through MCP create one field job for an existing customer. It accepts the same inputs as [`POST /public/v1/jobs`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/) and runs the same checks, so a job created here is identical to one created through REST.

You describe the job in plain language. The client looks up the customer, location and people with FieldTask's other tools, then calls this tool with their IDs.

> **Preview:** This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Your client's discovered tool list is the authority for what your connection can use.

## Before you start

-   **MCP access for your organization.** FieldTask enables API and MCP access per organization. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **An organization owner or admin to approve the connection.** When the client connects, that person signs in to FieldTask, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. The tool then acts on their behalf within the approved permissions.
-   **An AI client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in.** You add FieldTask's MCP server address to the client; the address is shown with your connection settings. MCP uses its own sign-in: REST API tokens and client secrets don't work here.
-   **Job creation enabled through MCP.** If `fieldtask_create_job` isn't in your client's tool list after connecting, MCP job creation isn't enabled by FieldTask, or the connection lacks `jobs:create`.

Some optional inputs need features that FieldTask enables separately: timed scheduling, initial assignment and job items.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `jobs:create` | Depends on `customers:read`, `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

Additional permissions for some arguments.

| When | Additional permission | Including its dependencies |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `assignee_member_ids` is not empty | `members:read` | `members:read` |
| `items` is not empty | `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `products:read` | `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read` |
| `location_id` is not null | `customer_locations:read` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |

To resolve names into IDs, the client also needs read access for the lookup tools it uses: `fieldtask_list_customers` (`customers:read`), `fieldtask_list_customer_locations` (`customer_locations:read`), `fieldtask_list_members` (`members:read`) and `fieldtask_list_products` (`products:read`).

**Changing permissions.** An owner or admin can reduce an MCP connection's permissions or revoke it in **Settings → API connections**; removals apply to the next tool call. Added permissions stay pending until the person who connected the client signs in and approves again. Then refresh the client's tools so it discovers the new inputs and tools.

## How the client finds IDs

Every reference argument is an ID, but you never need to supply one. FieldTask's tool descriptions tell the client how to resolve them.

1.  1Customer`fieldtask_list_customers`Matches the name or contact details you gave.
2.  2Job site`fieldtask_list_customer_locations`Picks a saved location, or asks for the address and creates one.
3.  3People`fieldtask_list_members`Finds member IDs by display name.
4.  4Create`fieldtask_create_job`Sends the IDs, the schedule and an operation_key.

Where each ID comes from:

| Argument | Where the ID comes from |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | `fieldtask_list_customers`, matched by name or contact details, or `data.id` from `fieldtask_create_customer` |
| `location_id` | `fieldtask_list_customer_locations` for the chosen customer, matched by name or address, or `data.id` from `fieldtask_create_customer_location` |
| `assignee_member_ids` | `fieldtask_list_members`, matched by display name. These are member IDs, not user IDs. |
| `items[].product_id`, `items[].price_id` | `fieldtask_list_products` |

The server also instructs the client to:

-   ask you to choose when a name matches more than one record, using readable details rather than IDs;
-   follow list pages before concluding a record doesn't exist, and never invent an ID or create a duplicate to avoid a lookup;
-   if the customer has no saved location, ask for the job site address, create the location (radius 100 metres unless you say otherwise) and use it, unless you explicitly choose to go without one;
-   explain a missing permission instead of treating it as "no results".

These are instructions to the client, not guarantees. Check what was created, as described below.

## Example prompts and their effects

The client's wording and the exact sequence of lookups vary by client and model. What you can rely on is the effect in FieldTask and the identifiers in the tool result.

| You ask | Tools the client typically calls | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Create an unscheduled job called *Inspect rooftop unit* for Example Property Services." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_list_customer_locations`, `fieldtask_create_job` | A new unscheduled job for that customer appears under **Jobs**. The result's `data.status` is `unscheduled` and `data.id` is the new job's ID. |
| "Schedule *Replace condenser fan motor* for Example Property Services at their Main office on 10 November, 9:00–11:30 New York time, and assign Alex." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_list_customer_locations`, `fieldtask_list_members`, `fieldtask_create_job` | The job is `scheduled` at the Main office, 14:00–16:30 UTC (shown in your local time in the app), assigned to Alex. |
| "Create a job for Example Property Services" when the customer has no saved location | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_list_customer_locations` | The client asks for the site address before creating anything. |
| "Did that job get created? Check the operation." | `fieldtask_get_operation` | The result shows `local_status: "committed"` and the follow-up `integration.status`. |

If something looks wrong, open the job in FieldTask, or ask the client to fetch it with `fieldtask_get_job` using the returned `data.id`.

## Arguments

These are the arguments for the unscheduled example above, as the client sends them after looking up the customer:

fieldtask_create_job arguments:

```json
{
  "name": "Inspect rooftop unit",
  "customer_id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111",
  "description": "Annual inspection. Ask at reception for roof access.",
  "operation_key": "8f1b6c1e-2f43-4d0a-9a51-3c7e2d9b4a10"
}
```

The arguments follow the same rules as the REST request body. For scheduling, time zones, assignees, line items and external references, see the [REST field guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#field-guide). The only MCP-specific argument is `operation_key`.

Arguments for `fieldtask_create_job`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `customer_id`string (uuid)required
    
    Active customer in the current organization; archived customers are allowed. Use the ID returned by customer lookup. Resolve the customer by name/contact details with fieldtask_list_customers, or reuse data.id from fieldtask_create_customer. Do not ask the user to supply an ID.

-   `assignee_member_ids`array of string (uuid)optionaldefault \[\]
    
    Active same-organization membership IDs; nonempty requires members:read. Owners also need an eligible membership. Use membership IDs returned by member lookup. Assignment fields in the response depend on publication and read permissions. Look up people by display_name with fieldtask_list_members and use their returned membership IDs. Requires members:read and enabled assignments. Ask about ambiguous names, not database IDs; never use a global user ID.

    -   `product_id`string (uuid)required
        
    -   `price_id`string (uuid)optional
        
        Named price ID from products.prices. Required when more than one option is eligible.
        
    -   `price_source`"price" | "legacy"optional
        
        Select legacy explicitly when using the legacy unit price.

        Pattern `^(0|[1-9][0-9]{0,7})(\.[0-9]{1,2})?$`
        
-   `location_id`string (uuid) | nulloptionaldefault null
    
    Active location belonging to customer_id; non-null requires customer_locations:read. Resolve the location by name/address with fieldtask_list_customer_locations for the selected customer, or reuse data.id from fieldtask_create_customer_location. If the customer has no saved location, ask for the service address before creating the record (reuse an address already supplied). Create the location first with permission; radius defaults to 100 metres. Omit location only when the user explicitly chooses to proceed without it. Do not treat missing lookup permissions as an empty location list.

Fields under `data` depend on the connection's read permissions: without `members:read` there are no assignee fields, and without `customer_locations:read` there's no `location` summary. The output schema your client discovers is calculated for its own connection.

## Retries and `operation_key`

`operation_key` makes a create safe to retry. It works like REST's `Idempotency-Key`:

-   The same key with the same arguments within seven days returns the original result with `replayed: true`. No second job is created.
-   The same key with different arguments fails with `idempotency_key_reused`.
-   A key is 16–128 printable ASCII characters and can never be reused for a different job, even after seven days.
-   Keys are scoped to the organization, the MCP connection and the person who approved it. A key from one connection means nothing on another.
-   The JSON-RPC request ID isn't an operation key.

If the client doesn't send `operation_key`, the server generates one and returns it in the result. That protects retries only if the client receives the result. If a call times out or the client is unsure whether it succeeded, ask it to check before trying again, for example "list today's jobs for Example Property Services" or "check the operation for that job", rather than asking it to create the job again.

## Errors

When a call fails, the result has `isError: true` and an `error` object in `structuredContent`:

Tool error result (structuredContent):

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "missing_permission",
    "message": "This token doesn't have members:read.",
    "fix": "Edit the token's permissions in Settings → API connections.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/",
    "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999994"
  }
}
```

Errors that ask you to wait also include `retry_after` in seconds.

| `error.code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `missing_permission` | The connection lacks a permission for this call or one of its arguments. | Add it in **Settings → API connections**, approve it in the client's sign-in, then refresh the client's tools. |
| `validation_failed` | An argument is missing, unknown or invalid, a referenced record isn't eligible, or an input needs a feature that isn't enabled. | Check the arguments against the field guide. The error doesn't name the field. |
| `api_access_not_enabled` | API and MCP access isn't enabled for this organization. | Request access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the call ran, or a replay would return data it can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same `operation_key`. |
| `external_reference_conflict` | Another job from this client application already uses the `external_reference`. | Find the existing job instead of creating another. |
| `idempotency_key_reused` | The `operation_key` was used with different arguments. | Retry with the original arguments, or use a new key for a different job. |
| `operation_in_progress` | A call with the same key is still running. | Wait `retry_after` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `idempotency_window_expired` | The key is more than seven days old. This doesn't mean the original call failed. | Check whether the job exists before creating anything new. |
| `rate_limit_exceeded`, `daily_quota_exceeded` | A per-minute, concurrency or daily limit was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds. |
| `response_too_large` | The created job, with its line items, is too large to return through MCP. Nothing was created. | Send fewer items, or create the job through REST. Don't retry the same call unchanged. |
| `resource_not_found` | The tool or a feature it needs isn't available. | Refresh the client's tools; contact FieldTask if you expected it. |
| `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't complete the call. The job may or may not exist. | Retry with the same `operation_key`, or check for the job first. |

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP transport rather than as a tool result. The client then asks you to sign in again.

## Recovery

Every successful result includes `operation_id`. To check a create later, the client calls `fieldtask_get_operation` with `id` set to that value. It needs `jobs:read` and works only on the same connection.

The operation reports `local_status: "committed"` and an `integration.status` for follow-up work, such as geocoding a location or synchronization with a connected system. The job exists regardless of that status. See [Local creation and external synchronization](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#local-creation-and-external-synchronization) for the status values.

Operation results are kept for seven days.

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `false` | Each new call can create another record. Reuse operation_key to retry safely. |
| `openWorldHint` | `true` | Can start work outside FieldTask, such as external synchronization. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `false` | Changes data in FieldTask. |

Invite a member

# fieldtask_create_member_invitation

Creates a record

-   **Permissions:** `members:invite`, `members:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`POST /public/v1/member-invitations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/)
-   **Safe retries:** `operation_key`

`fieldtask_create_member_invitation` lets an AI client invite one person, by email address, to join your organization as an ordinary member. It runs the same checks as [`POST /public/v1/member-invitations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/).

The tool creates a **pending invitation**, not a member. FieldTask then emails the person a link as separate follow-up work. They join only when they open the link, sign in with the invited address and accept. The tool can't invite admins, resend an invitation or accept one.

> **Preview:** This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Your client's discovered tool list is the authority for what your connection can use.

## Before you start

-   **MCP access for your organization.** FieldTask enables API and MCP access per organization. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **An owner or admin approves the connection.** When the client connects, that person signs in to FieldTask, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. Invitations are sent on their behalf.
-   **Invitation creation enabled by FieldTask.** If the tool isn't in your client's tool list after connecting, invitation creation isn't enabled, the connection lacks a permission below, or the person who approved it isn't currently an owner or admin.
-   **A plan that allows inviting members.** Solo plans can't invite members, and some plans limit how many invitations an organization can create.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:invite` | Depends on `members:read` |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |

To check email delivery afterwards with [`fieldtask_get_operation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-operation/), the connection needs the same two permissions.

**Changing permissions.** An owner or admin can reduce an MCP connection's permissions or revoke it in **Settings → API connections**; removals apply to the next tool call. Added permissions stay pending until the person who connected the client signs in and approves again. Then refresh the client's tools.

## Invitation authority

Through MCP, the invitation authority is the owner or admin who approved the connection, and it's checked on every call:

-   The person must still be the organization's owner or an active admin, with an active FieldTask account. If they lose that role, the invitation tools disappear from the client's tool list and calls return `operation_forbidden`.
-   Each invitation stays tied to the person who approved the connection when it was created. It can be emailed and accepted only while that person is still eligible, their approval of the connection is still in place, and the connection still has `members:read` and `members:invite`.

For REST connections the rule is different: invitations are sent on behalf of the connection's sponsor. See [Invitation authority (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#invitation-authority).

## Example prompts and their effects

The client's wording and the exact sequence of tool calls vary by client and model. What you can rely on is the effect in FieldTask and the identifiers in the tool result.

| You ask | Tools the client typically calls | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Invite [jordan.example@example.com](mailto:jordan.example@example.com) to join our team." | `fieldtask_create_member_invitation` | The result's `data.status` is `pending`, `data.role` is `member` and `data.id` is the invitation ID. The invitation appears in `fieldtask_list_member_invitations`. |
| "Did the invitation email go out?" | `fieldtask_get_operation` with the `operation_id` from the create | The email target's `status`: `pending`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `blocked` or `outcome_unknown`. See [Email delivery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#email-delivery). |
| "Has Jordan accepted yet?" | `fieldtask_get_member_invitation` | `data.status` changes from `pending` to `accepted`. Jordan then appears in `fieldtask_list_members`. |
| "Invite Jordan as an admin." | None, or `fieldtask_create_member_invitation` with `role: "member"` | No admin invitation can be created. Any invitation created has `role: "member"`. |
| "Invite [jordan.example@example.com](mailto:jordan.example@example.com) again." while the first invitation is pending | `fieldtask_create_member_invitation` | The call fails with `validation_failed`. No second invitation or email is created. |

Recipients aren't looked up: the client passes the address you give it, exactly as written. Check the address in the result before relying on the invitation.

## Arguments

These are the arguments for the first example above:

fieldtask_create_member_invitation arguments:

```json
{
  "email": "jordan.example@example.com",
  "operation_key": "8f1b6c1e-2f43-4d0a-9a51-3c7e2d9b4a20"
}
```

| Argument | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `email` | Yes | One email address, up to 256 characters, with no spaces at either end. Comparisons with other invitations are case-insensitive. |
| `role` | No | Only `member`. Defaults to `member`. |
| `operation_key` | No | A key that makes the call safe to retry. See [Retries and `operation_key`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-member-invitation/#retries-and-operation_key). |

If the address already has a pending invitation in your organization, including one created in the FieldTask app, the call fails with `validation_failed`. FieldTask doesn't check whether the address belongs to an existing account or member, and the result never reveals it. See the [REST field guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#field-guide) for all the rules.

Arguments for `fieldtask_create_member_invitation`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `email`string (email)required
    
    `at most 256 characters`
    
-   `operation_key`stringoptional
    
    `16–128 characters`
    
    Pattern `^[\u0020-\u007E]+(?![\s\S])`
    
-   `role`"member"optionaldefault "member"
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

A successful call returns the invitation as `structuredContent`, with the operation details alongside it. The same JSON is also sent as text content for clients that only read text.

fieldtask_create_member_invitation result:

```json
{
  "data": {
    "id": "dddddddd-dddd-4ddd-8ddd-dddddddddddd",
    "email": "jordan.example@example.com",
    "role": "member",
    "status": "pending",
    "created_at": "2026-11-03T15:20:41.118Z",
    "expires_at": "2026-11-10T15:20:41.118Z"
  },
  "operation_id": "88888888-8888-4888-8888-888888888802",
  "operation_key": "8f1b6c1e-2f43-4d0a-9a51-3c7e2d9b4a20",
  "local_status": "committed",
  "resource": { "type": "member_invitations", "id": "dddddddd-dddd-4ddd-8ddd-dddddddddddd" },
  "integration": {
    "status": "pending",
    "updated_at": "2026-11-03T15:20:41.118Z",
    "targets": [{ "id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999902", "status": "pending", "error_code": null }]
  },
  "replayed": false
}
```

-   `data.expires_at` is seven days after `data.created_at`. After that the link stops working and `status` becomes `expired`.
-   `integration` reports the invitation email. Right after the create it's `pending`. A `pending` or `succeeded` email doesn't mean the person has joined.
-   The acceptance link is never returned. It's only in the email.

Structured result of `fieldtask_create_member_invitation` (`structuredContent`).

-   `data`objectrequired
    
    -   `created_at`string (date-time)required
        
        Pattern`^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(\.\d+)?Z$`
    -   `email`string (email)required
        
        `at most 256 characters`
        
    -   `expires_at`string (date-time)required
        
        Pattern`^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(\.\d+)?Z$`
    -   `id`string (uuid)required
        
    -   `role`"member"required
        
    -   `status`"pending" | "accepted" | "revoked" | "expired"required
        
-   `integration`Integrationrequired
    
-   `local_status`"committed"required
    
-   `operation_id`string (uuid)required
    
-   `operation_key`stringrequired
    
    `16–128 characters`
    
    Pattern `^[\u0020-\u007E]+(?![\s\S])`
    
-   `replayed`booleanrequired
    
-   `resource`objectrequired
    
    -   `id`string (uuid)required
        
    -   `type`"member_invitations"required
        

## Retries and `operation_key`

`operation_key` makes a create safe to retry. It works like REST's `Idempotency-Key`:

-   The same key with the same arguments within seven days returns the original result with `replayed: true`. No second invitation or email is created. The replayed `data` is the original snapshot, so read the invitation for its current status.
-   The same key with different arguments fails with `idempotency_key_reused`. A different letter case in `email` counts as different arguments.
-   A key is 16–128 printable ASCII characters and can never be reused for a different invitation, even after seven days.
-   Keys are scoped to the organization, the MCP connection and the person who approved it. A key from one connection means nothing on another.
-   The JSON-RPC request ID isn't an operation key.

If the client doesn't send `operation_key`, the server generates one and returns it in the result. That protects retries only if the client receives the result. If a call times out or the client is unsure whether it succeeded, ask it to check first, for example "list pending invitations", rather than asking it to invite the person again. A second invitation for an address that already has a pending one is rejected anyway.

## If the email doesn't arrive

1.  Ask the client to check the operation with `fieldtask_get_operation`.
2.  If the email target is `pending`, wait; FieldTask retries temporary mail-server problems itself.
3.  If it's `succeeded` or `outcome_unknown`, ask the recipient to check spam or junk folders, and check the address on the invitation for typos.
4.  If it's `failed` with `invalid_upstream_data`, the address was probably wrong. Invite the correct address.

Don't ask the client to invite the same address again straight away: the call fails while the first invitation is pending, and the tool can't resend. To start over for the same address, have an owner or admin cancel the pending invitation in the FieldTask app, or wait until it expires. See [Accepting an invitation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#accepting-an-invitation) for what the recipient needs.

## Errors

When a call fails, the result has `isError: true` and an `error` object in `structuredContent`:

Tool error result (structuredContent):

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_failed",
    "message": "The request contains invalid fields.",
    "fix": "Check the documented request fields.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/",
    "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999998"
  }
}
```

Errors that ask you to wait also include `retry_after` in seconds.

| `error.code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `missing_permission` | The connection lacks `members:read` or `members:invite`. | Add it in **Settings → API connections**, approve it in the client's sign-in, then refresh the client's tools. |
| `operation_forbidden` | The person who approved the connection is no longer an owner or admin, the connection's access changed while the call ran, or a replay was refused. | Have a current owner or admin connect the client, or restore the approver's role. Then retry with the same `operation_key`. |
| `validation_failed` | `email` is missing or invalid, `role` isn't `member`, the address already has a pending invitation, or the plan doesn't allow more invitations. | Check the address. List invitations before trying again. The error doesn't name the rule. |
| `api_access_not_enabled` | API and MCP access isn't enabled for this organization. | Request access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| `idempotency_key_reused` | The `operation_key` was used with different arguments. | Retry with the original arguments, or use a new key for a different invitation. |
| `operation_in_progress` | A call with the same key is still running. | Wait `retry_after` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `idempotency_window_expired` | The key is more than seven days old. This doesn't mean the original call failed. | List invitations before creating anything new. |
| `resource_gone` | A replay found that the invitation was removed, for example cancelled in the FieldTask app. | Don't invite again automatically; check whether it was cancelled on purpose. |
| `rate_limit_exceeded` | A per-minute or concurrency limit, or an hourly or daily invitation limit for the organization, connection or recipient address, was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds, then retry with the same key. |
| `daily_quota_exceeded` | The daily create allowance was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds. |
| `resource_not_found` | The tool or a feature it needs isn't available. | Refresh the client's tools; contact FieldTask if you expected it. |
| `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't complete the call. The invitation may or may not exist. | Retry with the same `operation_key`, or list invitations first. |

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP transport rather than as a tool result. The client then asks you to sign in again.

## Recovery

Every successful result includes `operation_id`. To check a create later, the client calls `fieldtask_get_operation` with `id` set to that value. It needs `members:read` and `members:invite`, and works only on the same connection for the same approving person.

The operation reports `local_status: "committed"` and an `integration.status` for the invitation email. The invitation exists regardless of that status. Operation results are kept for seven days, the same as the invitation's lifetime.

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `false` | Each new call can create another record. Reuse operation_key to retry safely. |
| `openWorldHint` | `true` | Can start work outside FieldTask, such as external synchronization. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `false` | Changes data in FieldTask. |

Create a product

# fieldtask_create_product

Creates a record

-   **Permissions:** `products:create`, `products:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`POST /public/v1/products`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-product/)
-   **Safe retries:** `operation_key`

`fieldtask_create_product` lets an AI client connected to FieldTask through MCP add one product or service, with 1–20 one-time prices, to your organization's catalog. It accepts the same inputs as [`POST /public/v1/products`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-product/) and runs the same checks, so a product created here is identical to one created through REST.

You describe the product and its prices in plain language. The client turns them into arguments; no IDs are needed.

> **Preview:** This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Your client's discovered tool list is the authority for what your connection can use.

## Before you start

-   **MCP access for your organization.** FieldTask enables API and MCP access per organization. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **An organization owner or admin to approve the connection.** When the client connects, that person signs in to FieldTask, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. The tool then acts on their behalf within the approved permissions.
-   **An AI client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in.** See [Connect a client](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/connect-a-client/). REST API tokens and client secrets don't work here.
-   **Product creation enabled through MCP.** If `fieldtask_create_product` isn't in your client's tool list after connecting, FieldTask hasn't enabled product creation through MCP, or the connection lacks `products:create`.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `products:create` | Depends on `products:read` |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

To check for an existing product first, the client uses [`fieldtask_list_products`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-products/), which needs `products:read`, already part of this tool's permissions.

**Changing permissions.** An owner or admin can reduce an MCP connection's permissions or revoke it in **Settings → API connections**; removals apply to the next tool call. Added permissions stay pending until the person who connected the client signs in and approves again. Then refresh the client's tools so it discovers the new tool.

## Example prompts and their effects

The client's wording and the exact sequence of calls vary by client and model. What you can rely on is the effect in FieldTask and the identifiers in the tool result.

| You ask | Tools the client typically calls | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Add a service called *Condenser fan motor replacement* to our catalog, with a Standard price of $185 and an After hours price of $260." | `fieldtask_create_product`, sometimes after `fieldtask_list_products` | A new service appears in your catalog. The result's `data.id` is the product ID and `data.prices` has two options, *Standard* 185.00 and *After hours* 260.00, each with its own `id`. |
| "Add *Air filter, 20 x 25 x 1* as a product at $24.50 each." | `fieldtask_create_product` | A product with one price option, so it can be added to jobs without choosing a price. |
| "Create a monthly maintenance plan at $49 a month." | Varies | The tool only creates one-time prices. If a product is created anyway, every `data.prices[].price_type` is `one_time`, and no subscription or recurring job exists. |
| "Create *Condenser fan motor replacement*" when it already exists | `fieldtask_create_product` | FieldTask doesn't check names, so a second product with a new `data.id` is created. Ask the client to search first if you're not sure. |

If something looks wrong, ask the client to fetch the product with [`fieldtask_get_product`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-product/) using the returned `data.id`.

## Arguments

These are the arguments for the first example above:

fieldtask_create_product arguments:

```json
{
  "name": "Condenser fan motor replacement",
  "item_type": "service",
  "description": "Remove and replace a failed condenser fan motor, including parts and labour.",
  "prices": [
    { "name": "Standard", "amount": "185" },
    { "name": "After hours", "amount": "260.00" }
  ],
  "operation_key": "3c9a51e2-7d4b-4f08-b6a2-0e5f1c8d7b34"
}
```

The arguments follow the same rules as the REST request body: names, item types, decimal-string amounts, the optional currency and the one-time-only price type. See the [REST field guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-product/#field-guide). The only MCP-specific argument is `operation_key`.

Arguments for `fieldtask_create_product`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `item_type`"product" | "service" | "other"required
    
-   `name`stringrequired
    
    `1–256 characters`
    
-   `prices`array of objectrequired
    
    `at most 20 items`
    
    -   `amount`stringrequired
        
        Pattern `^(0|[1-9][0-9]{0,12})(\.[0-9]{1,2})?$`
        
    -   `name`stringrequired
        
        `1–256 characters`
        
    -   `currency`stringoptional
        
        Pattern `^[A-Z]{3}$`
        
    -   `price_type`"one_time"optionaldefault "one_time"
        
-   `description`stringoptional
    
    `at most 4096 characters`
    
-   `is_available`booleanoptionaldefault true
    
-   `operation_key`stringoptional
    
    `16–128 characters`
    
    Pattern `^[\u0020-\u007E]+(?![\s\S])`
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

A successful call returns the product as `structuredContent`, with the operation details alongside it. The same JSON is also sent as text content for clients that only read text.

Prices are listed newest first, so they can come back in a different order from the arguments. Match them by `name`. The product is approved in your catalog immediately and can be added to jobs with [`fieldtask_create_job_item`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-job-item/).

## Retries and `operation_key`

`operation_key` makes a create safe to retry. It works like REST's `Idempotency-Key`:

-   The same key with the same arguments within seven days returns the original result with `replayed: true`. No second product is created.
-   The same key with different arguments fails with `idempotency_key_reused`.
-   A key is 16–128 printable ASCII characters and can never be reused for a different product, even after seven days.
-   Keys are scoped to the organization, the MCP connection and the person who approved it. A key from one connection means nothing on another.
-   The JSON-RPC request ID isn't an operation key.

If the client doesn't send `operation_key`, the server generates one and returns it in the result. That protects retries only if the client receives the result. If a call times out or the client is unsure whether it succeeded, ask it to check before trying again, for example "search the catalog for condenser fan motor", rather than asking it to create the product again. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

## Errors

When a call fails, the result has `isError: true` and an `error` object in `structuredContent` with `code`, `message`, `fix`, `docs_url` and `request_id`. Errors that ask you to wait also include `retry_after` in seconds. See [Errors](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/#mcp-errors).

| `error.code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `missing_permission` | The connection lacks `products:create` or `products:read`. | Add it in **Settings → API connections**, approve it in the client's sign-in, then refresh the client's tools. |
| `validation_failed` | An argument is missing, unknown or invalid: an empty name, an unsupported item type, no prices or more than 20, an invalid amount or currency, or a non-one-time price. | Check the arguments against the field guide. The error doesn't name the field. |
| `api_access_not_enabled` | API and MCP access isn't enabled for this organization. | Request access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the call ran, or a replay would return data it can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same `operation_key`. |
| `idempotency_key_reused` | The `operation_key` was used with different arguments. | Retry with the original arguments, or use a new key for a different product. |
| `operation_in_progress` | A call with the same key is still running. | Wait `retry_after` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `idempotency_window_expired` | The key is more than seven days old. This doesn't mean the original call failed. | Search the catalog before creating anything new. |
| `resource_gone` | The product this key created has since been deleted or is no longer approved. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| `rate_limit_exceeded`, `daily_quota_exceeded` | A per-minute, concurrency or daily limit was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds. |
| `response_too_large` | The created product is too large to return through MCP. Nothing was created. | Shorten the description or use fewer prices, or create the product through REST. Don't retry the same call unchanged. |
| `resource_not_found` | The tool or a feature it needs isn't available. | Refresh the client's tools; contact FieldTask if you expected it. |
| `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't complete the call. The product may or may not exist. | Retry with the same `operation_key`, or search the catalog first. |

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP transport rather than as a tool result. The client then asks you to sign in again.

## Recovery and external synchronization

Every successful result includes `operation_id`. To check a create later, the client calls [`fieldtask_get_operation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-operation/) with `id` set to that value. It needs `products:read` and works only on the same connection. Operation results are kept for seven days.

The operation reports `local_status: "committed"`: the product exists and can be used. If your organization has a connected CRM set up to receive products, `integration` reports that external synchronization separately; otherwise it's `not_applicable`. Synchronization is attempted once, and an unconfirmed outcome is reported as `outcome_unknown` rather than retried. Check the connected CRM before asking the client to do anything that could duplicate the product. See [Local creation and external synchronization](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-product/#local-creation-and-external-synchronization).

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `false` | Each new call can create another record. Reuse operation_key to retry safely. |
| `openWorldHint` | `true` | Can start work outside FieldTask, such as external synchronization. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `false` | Changes data in FieldTask. |

Create a draft quote

# fieldtask_create_quote

Creates a record

-   **Permissions:** `customers:read`, `products:read`, `quotes:create`, `quotes:read` [\+ conditional](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-quote/#permissions)
-   **REST equivalent:** [`POST /public/v1/quotes`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/)
-   **Safe retries:** `operation_key`

`fieldtask_create_quote` lets an AI client connected to FieldTask through MCP create one **draft** quote for an existing customer, priced from your catalog. It accepts the same inputs as [`POST /public/v1/quotes`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/) and runs the same checks, with one difference: through MCP, a quote can include a discount.

A draft quote is only saved in FieldTask. The tool never sends the quote to the customer, never marks it accepted, and never turns it into a job or an invoice. No FieldTask tool does those things; someone in your organization sends the quote from FieldTask when it's ready.

You describe the quote in plain language. The client looks up the customer, location and catalog items with FieldTask's other tools, then calls this tool with their IDs.

> **Preview:** This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Your client's discovered tool list is the authority for what your connection can use.

## Before you start

-   **MCP access for your organization.** FieldTask enables API and MCP access per organization. An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **Quotes available for your organization.** FieldTask makes Quotes available organization by organization, your organization must not have switched Quotes off, and its currency must use no more than two decimal places.
-   **An organization owner or admin to approve the connection.** When the client connects, that person signs in to FieldTask, chooses the organization and permissions, and approves. The tool then acts on their behalf within the approved permissions.
-   **An AI client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in.** You add FieldTask's MCP server address to the client; the address is shown with your connection settings. MCP uses its own sign-in: REST API tokens and client secrets don't work here.
-   **Products and services in your catalog.** Every line item comes from the catalog, at a catalog price.

If `fieldtask_create_quote` isn't in your client's tool list after connecting, Quotes isn't available for your organization, MCP quote creation isn't enabled by FieldTask, or the connection lacks one of the permissions below.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |
| `quotes:create` | Depends on `customers:read`, `products:read`, `quotes:read` |
| `quotes:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

Additional permissions for some arguments.

| When | Additional permission | Including its dependencies |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `location_id` is not null | `customer_locations:read` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |

To resolve names into IDs, the client also needs read access for the lookup tools it uses: `fieldtask_list_customers` (`customers:read`), `fieldtask_list_customer_locations` (`customer_locations:read`) and `fieldtask_list_products` (`products:read`).

**Changing permissions.** An owner or admin can reduce an MCP connection's permissions or revoke it in **Settings → API connections**; removals apply to the next tool call. Added permissions stay pending until the person who connected the client signs in and approves again. Then refresh the client's tools so it discovers the new inputs and tools.

## How the client finds IDs

Every reference argument is an ID, but you never need to supply one:

| Argument | Where the ID comes from |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | `fieldtask_list_customers`, matched by name or contact details, or `data.id` from `fieldtask_create_customer` |
| `location_id` | `fieldtask_list_customer_locations` for the chosen customer, matched by name or address, or `data.id` from `fieldtask_create_customer_location` |
| `items[].product_id`, `items[].price_id` | `fieldtask_list_products`. A product with several prices needs `price_id`. |

FieldTask's tool descriptions also tell the client to ask you to choose when a name matches more than one record, and to ask for the site address and create a location when the customer has none, unless you choose to go without one. These are instructions to the client, not guarantees. Check what was created, as described below.

A location matters if your organization synchronizes quotes with a connected CRM: without one, the initial synchronization attempt is reported as `blocked`. See [Local creation and external synchronization](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#local-creation-and-external-synchronization).

## Example prompts and their effects

The client's wording and the exact sequence of lookups vary by client and model. What you can rely on is the effect in FieldTask and the identifiers in the tool result.

| You ask | Tools the client typically calls | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "Draft a quote for Example Property Services at their Main office: two condenser fan motor replacements, 8.25% tax, 10% off." | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_list_customer_locations`, `fieldtask_list_products`, `fieldtask_create_quote` | A new draft quote for that customer appears in FieldTask with the returned `data.quote_number`. The result's `data.status` is `draft`, `data.discount_amount` is `37.00` and `data.total` is `360.47`. |
| "Create that quote and send it to them." | The same lookups, then `fieldtask_create_quote` | A draft quote is created and nothing is sent: `data.status` is `draft` and `data.selected_revision.sent_at` is `null`. Send it from FieldTask. |
| "Quote a rooftop inspection for Example Property Services" when the product has several prices | `fieldtask_list_customers`, `fieldtask_list_products` | The client asks which price to use. If it calls the tool without choosing, the call fails with `validation_failed` and no quote is created. |
| "Did that quote reach our CRM?" | `fieldtask_get_operation` | The result shows `local_status: "committed"` and the `integration.status` of the initial synchronization attempt. That status doesn't cover later synchronization, so check the connected CRM itself to be sure. |

If something looks wrong, open the quote in FieldTask, or ask the client to fetch it with `fieldtask_get_quote` using the returned `data.id`.

## Arguments

These are the arguments for the first example above, as the client sends them after looking up the customer, location and product:

fieldtask_create_quote arguments:

```json
{
  "title": "Condenser fan motor replacement",
  "customer_id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111",
  "location_id": "22222222-2222-4222-8222-222222222222",
  "items": [
    {
      "product_id": "44444444-4444-4444-8444-444444444444",
      "price_id": "55555555-5555-4555-8555-555555555555",
      "quantity": "2"
    }
  ],
  "tax_rate": "8.25",
  "discount": { "type": "percent", "amount": "10" },
  "operation_key": "3c9e1a52-7d4b-4f0e-b6a8-2f5d9c0e7b41"
}
```

The arguments follow the same rules as the REST request body: 1–100 catalog items with positive quantities, decimal strings for amounts, and defaults from your organization's quote settings for the issue date, expiry, tax rate and terms. See the [REST field guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#field-guide). The only MCP-specific argument is `operation_key`.

### Discounts

Through MCP, `discount` can be a percentage of the subtotal or a fixed amount, because the tool acts for the owner or admin who approved the connection. REST connections can't apply a discount. The discount is never more than the subtotal, and tax is calculated after it. See [Totals, taxes and discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#totals-taxes-and-discounts).

## Result

A successful call returns the draft quote, with its items, as `structuredContent`, with the operation details alongside it. The same JSON is also sent as text content for clients that only read text.

The issue date and expiry here are the defaults: the current date in UTC, and the creation time plus your organization's default validity period. `terms` is your organization's default quote terms, if it has any. Amounts are decimal strings; 8.25% of 333.00 is 27.4725, which rounds to `27.47`.

Without `customer_locations:read`, the result has no `location` summary. The output schema your client discovers is calculated for its own connection.

## Retries and `operation_key`

`operation_key` makes a create safe to retry. It works like REST's `Idempotency-Key`:

-   The same key with the same arguments within seven days returns the original result with `replayed: true`. No second quote is created.
-   The same key with different arguments fails with `idempotency_key_reused`.
-   A key is 16–128 printable ASCII characters and can never be reused for a different quote, even after seven days.
-   Keys are scoped to the organization, the MCP connection and the person who approved it. A key from one connection means nothing on another.
-   The JSON-RPC request ID isn't an operation key.

If the client doesn't send `operation_key`, the server generates one and returns it in the result. That protects retries only if the client receives the result. If a call times out or the client is unsure whether it succeeded, ask it to check before trying again, for example "list the draft quotes for Example Property Services" or "check the operation for that quote", rather than asking it to create the quote again. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

## Errors

When a call fails, the result has `isError: true` and an `error` object in `structuredContent`:

Tool error result (structuredContent):

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "response_too_large",
    "message": "The expanded create response is too large for MCP.",
    "fix": "Reduce the number of items or use the REST API. No resource was created; do not retry the same request unchanged.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/",
    "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999996"
  }
}
```

Errors that ask you to wait also include `retry_after` in seconds.

| `error.code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `missing_permission` | The connection lacks a permission for this call or one of its arguments, such as `customer_locations:read` for `location_id`. | Add it in **Settings → API connections**, approve it in the client's sign-in, then refresh the client's tools. |
| `validation_failed` | An argument is missing, unknown or invalid; the customer, location or a product isn't eligible; a price choice matches no option or more than one; or a quantity is zero. | Check the arguments against the field guide, and choose a specific price for products with several. The error doesn't name the field. |
| `api_access_not_enabled` | API and MCP access isn't enabled for this organization. | Request access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the call ran, or a replay would return a customer or location it can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same `operation_key`. |
| `idempotency_key_reused` | The `operation_key` was used with different arguments. | Retry with the original arguments, or use a new key for a different quote. |
| `operation_in_progress` | A call with the same key is still running. | Wait `retry_after` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `idempotency_window_expired` | The key is more than seven days old. This doesn't mean the original call failed. | Check whether the quote exists before creating anything new. |
| `rate_limit_exceeded`, `daily_quota_exceeded` | A per-minute, concurrency or daily limit was reached. | Wait `retry_after` seconds. |
| `response_too_large` | The draft quote, expanded with all its items, descriptions and terms, is too large to return through MCP. Nothing was created. | Send fewer items or shorter terms, or create the quote through REST. Don't retry the same call unchanged. |
| `resource_gone` | A replay found that the quote created with this key has since been deleted. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| `resource_not_found` | The tool, or Quotes for your organization, isn't available. | Refresh the client's tools; contact FieldTask if you expected it. |
| `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't complete the call. The quote may or may not exist. | Retry with the same `operation_key`, or check for the quote first. |

Problems with the connection itself, such as an expired sign-in, are reported by the MCP transport rather than as a tool result. The client then asks you to sign in again.

## Recovery

Every successful result includes `operation_id`. To check a create later, the client calls `fieldtask_get_operation` with `id` set to that value. It needs `quotes:read` and `customers:read`, and works only on the same connection.

The operation reports `local_status: "committed"` and an `integration.status` for follow-up work, such as synchronization with a connected CRM. For quotes, that status covers only the initial synchronization attempt: FieldTask can still send the quote to the connected CRM after an attempt reported as `blocked`. The quote exists regardless of that status, and the follow-up never sends it to the customer. See [Local creation and external synchronization](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#local-creation-and-external-synchronization) for what each status means for a quote.

Operation results are kept for seven days.

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `false` | Each new call can create another record. Reuse operation_key to retry safely. |
| `openWorldHint` | `true` | Can start work outside FieldTask, such as external synchronization. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `false` | Changes data in FieldTask. |

Get a customer location

# fieldtask_get_customer_location

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/customer-locations/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-customer-location/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_customer_location` lets an AI client read one customer location by its ID. The client gets the ID from `fieldtask_list_customer_locations`, from a job's `location_id` or from a create result; you never need to supply it.

It's also how the client sees coordinates that FieldTask looked up after a location was created without them. The result of `fieldtask_create_customer_location` always shows the values from the moment of creation.

A location that was deleted, or whose customer was deleted, returns `resource_not_found`.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/customer-locations/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-customer-location/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_locations:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_customer_location`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use the record ID returned by the corresponding list or create tool; resolve user-provided names through those tools first.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

The location is returned in `data`, with the same fields as [Get a customer location (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-customer-location/). `latitude` and `longitude` are both `null` until the position is known, and `radius` is in metres.

Structured result of `fieldtask_get_customer_location` (`structuredContent`).

-   `data`objectrequired
    
    -   `address`stringrequired
        
    -   `created_at`string (date-time) | nullrequired
        
    -   `customer_id`string (uuid)required
        
    -   `id`string (uuid)required
        
    -   `is_default`booleanrequired
        
    -   `latitude`number | nullrequired
        
    -   `longitude`number | nullrequired
        
    -   `name`stringrequired
        
    -   `radius`integer | nullrequired
        
    -   `revision`integerrequired
        
    -   `updated_at`string (date-time) | nullrequired
        

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `true` | Repeating the same call has no further effect. |
| `openWorldHint` | `false` | Works only within FieldTask. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `true` | Only reads data. |

Get a customer

# fieldtask_get_customer

Read-only

-   **Permission:** `customers:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/customers/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-customer/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_customer` lets an AI client read one customer by its ID. The client gets the ID from `fieldtask_list_customers`, from a job's `customer_id` or from a create result; you never need to supply it.

Archived customers are returned, with `is_archived: true`. A customer deleted in FieldTask returns `resource_not_found`.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/customers/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-customer/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_customer`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use the record ID returned by the corresponding list or create tool; resolve user-provided names through those tools first.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

The customer is returned in `data`, with the same fields as [Get a customer (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-customer/). To read the customer's service locations, the client uses [`fieldtask_list_customer_locations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-customer-locations/).

Get an invoice

# fieldtask_get_invoice

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `customers:read`, `invoices:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/invoices/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-invoice/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_invoice` lets an AI client read one invoice by its ID, including its line items, taxes and discount. The client gets the ID from `fieldtask_list_invoices` or from a `fieldtask_create_invoice` result; you never need to supply it.

Reading an invoice never changes it. No FieldTask tool sends an invoice, records a payment or collects money.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/invoices/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-invoice/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `invoices:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

The tool is offered only when invoicing is enabled for your organization.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "What's on invoice Ex-1038, and how much is still owed?" | Lists invoices to match `invoice_number`, then calls this tool and reports the items and `balance`. |
| "How much sales tax is on Example Property Services' last invoice?" | Lists the customer's invoices newest first, then reads `total_tax1` or `total_tax2` and the matching tax `name`. |

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_invoice`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use the record ID returned by the corresponding list or create tool; resolve user-provided names through those tools first.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

The invoice is returned in `data`, with the same fields as [Get an invoice (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-invoice/): its items with their per-item taxes, the `tax1`, `tax2` and `discount` settings, and the totals. For how the amounts are calculated and rounded, see [Totals, taxes and discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#totals-taxes-and-discounts).

An invoice with more than 200 items, or one too large for an MCP response, fails with `temporarily_unavailable`. Read it through REST or in FieldTask instead.

Get a job item

# fieldtask_get_job_item

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job-item/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_job_item` lets an AI client read one item on a job. It needs both the job's ID and the item's ID, which the client gets from [`fieldtask_list_jobs`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-jobs/) and [`fieldtask_list_job_items`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-job-items/) or from a create result; you never need to supply them.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job-item/).

If the item belongs to a different job, or either record has been deleted, the tool reports `resource_not_found`.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `job_items:read` | Depends on `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_job_item`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use the record ID returned by the corresponding list or create tool; resolve user-provided names through those tools first.
    
-   `job_id`string (uuid)required
    
    Resolve the job with fieldtask_list_jobs. Use the returned job ID; do not ask the user to copy IDs.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

The item is returned in `data`, with the same fields as [Get a job item (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job-item/). See [Item fields](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-job-items/#item-fields) for what each field means.

Structured result of `fieldtask_get_job_item` (`structuredContent`).

    -   `allow_evidences`booleanrequired
        
    -   `amount`stringrequired
        
        Exact quantity × unit_price, without per-line rounding. This is not an invoice total.
        
        Pattern `^\d+\.\d{4}$`
        
    -   `created_at`string (date-time) | nullrequired
        
    -   `currency`stringrequired
        
        Pattern `^[A-Z]{3}$`

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `true` | Repeating the same call has no further effect. |
| `openWorldHint` | `false` | Works only within FieldTask. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `true` | Only reads data. |

Get a job

# fieldtask_get_job

Read-only

-   **Permission:** `jobs:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/jobs/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_job` lets an AI client read one job by its ID. The client gets the ID from `fieldtask_list_jobs` or from a create result; you never need to supply it.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/jobs/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_job`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use the record ID returned by the corresponding list or create tool; resolve user-provided names through those tools first.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

The job is returned in `data`, with the same fields as [Get a job (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job/). Customer, location and assignee summaries depend on the connection's other read permissions.

Structured result of `fieldtask_get_job` (`structuredContent`).

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `true` | Repeating the same call has no further effect. |
| `openWorldHint` | `false` | Works only within FieldTask. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `true` | Only reads data. |

Get a member invitation

# fieldtask_get_member_invitation

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `members:invite`, `members:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/member-invitations/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-member-invitation/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_member_invitation` lets an AI client read one ordinary-member invitation by its ID. The client gets the ID from [`fieldtask_create_member_invitation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-member-invitation/) or [`fieldtask_list_member_invitations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-member-invitations/); you never need to supply it.

Typical use: "Has Jordan accepted yet?" right after the client created an invitation in the same conversation.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/member-invitations/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-member-invitation/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:invite` | Depends on `members:read` |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |

Like the other invitation tools, it acts on behalf of the owner or admin who approved the connection, and appears only while that person is still the owner or an active admin.

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_member_invitation`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use the record ID returned by the corresponding list or create tool; resolve user-provided names through those tools first.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

The invitation is returned in `data`, with the same fields as [Get a member invitation (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-member-invitation/). `status` reflects the invitation now: `pending` until it's accepted or `expires_at` passes. An invitation cancelled in the FieldTask app no longer exists, and the tool returns `resource_not_found`.

-   `data`objectrequired
    
    -   `created_at`string (date-time)required
        
        Pattern`^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(\.\d+)?Z$`
    -   `email`string (email)required
        
        `at most 256 characters`
        
    -   `expires_at`string (date-time)required
        
        Pattern`^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(\.\d+)?Z$`
    -   `id`string (uuid)required
        
    -   `role`"member"required
        
    -   `status`"pending" | "accepted" | "revoked" | "expired"required
        

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `true` | Repeating the same call has no further effect. |
| `openWorldHint` | `false` | Works only within FieldTask. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `true` | Only reads data. |

Get an operation

# fieldtask_get_operation

Read-only

-   **Permissions:**
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/operations/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-operation/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_operation` lets an AI client confirm what a create call did: which record it saved, and the status of follow-up work such as geocoding an address or synchronization with a connected system.

Every create tool returns an `operation_id`. Ask the client to "check the operation" after a create, or when you're not sure a create went through, instead of asking it to create the record again.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/operations/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-operation/).

## Permissions

The tool appears whenever the connection can use at least one read tool. Reading a particular operation also needs read access to the kind of record it created, for example `jobs:read` for a job. Only operations created through the same connection, approved by the same person, can be read.

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_operation`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use operation_id returned by the earlier create call.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

`data.local_status` is always `committed`: the record exists in FieldTask. `data.integration.status` describes the follow-up work; see [Get an operation (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-operation/#reading-the-result) for every value.

Operation results are kept for seven days. After that the tool returns `operation_result_expired`, which doesn't mean the create failed.

Get a product

# fieldtask_get_product

Read-only

-   **Permission:** `products:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/products/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-product/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_product` lets an AI client read one product or service and its current price options by ID. The client gets the ID from [`fieldtask_list_products`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-products/) or from a create result; you never need to supply it.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/products/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-product/).

The product must be approved in your organization's catalog. A deleted product, or an ID from another organization, is reported as `resource_not_found`.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_product`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use the record ID returned by the corresponding list or create tool; resolve user-provided names through those tools first.

## Result

The product is returned in `data`, with the same fields as [Get a product (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-product/). See [Reading prices](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/#reading-prices) for how `prices` is built, and [Choosing a price](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#choosing-a-price) for which option a job item needs.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `true` | Repeating the same call has no further effect. |
| `openWorldHint` | `false` | Works only within FieldTask. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `true` | Only reads data. |

Get a quote

# fieldtask_get_quote

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `customers:read`, `quotes:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/quotes/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-quote/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_quote` lets an AI client read one quote by its ID, including its line items, terms and customer note. The client gets the ID from `fieldtask_list_quotes` or from a `fieldtask_create_quote` result; you never need to supply it.

Reading a quote never changes it. No FieldTask tool sends, accepts, declines or converts a quote.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/quotes/{resource_id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-quote/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `quotes:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

The `location` summary needs `customer_locations:read`. The tool is offered only when Quotes is available for your organization.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "Show the items and total on Example Property Services' latest quote." | Lists the customer's quotes newest first, then calls this tool with that quote's `id`. |
| "Has the customer accepted quote QT-1037?" | Reads the quote and checks `status` and `selected_revision.accepted_at`. |

## Arguments

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_quote`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `id`string (uuid)required
    
    Use the record ID returned by the corresponding list or create tool; resolve user-provided names through those tools first.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

The quote is returned in `data`, with the same fields as [Get a quote (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-quote/). Items, terms, the customer note and the totals all come from `selected_revision`. For a sent quote that someone is editing, that's the new `draft` revision, not the version the customer has; the client should check `selected_revision.state` before describing the values as what the customer received.

A quote with more than 200 items, or one too large for an MCP response, fails with `temporarily_unavailable`. Read it through REST or in FieldTask instead.

Get a member's timesheet totals

# fieldtask_get_timesheet_range

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `members:read`, `timesheets:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/timesheets/range`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-timesheet-range/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_get_timesheet_range` lets an AI client answer questions such as "how many hours did Alex work last week?". It returns one member's worked time for each day of a range of 1–31 days, and the total, in seconds.

It covers one member per call and has no approval status, pay rates or pay amounts.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/timesheets/range`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-timesheet-range/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |
| `timesheets:read` | Depends on `members:read` |

The tool appears only where FieldTask has enabled timesheet reads. To resolve a name into a member ID, the client also uses [`fieldtask_list_members`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-members/), which needs the same `members:read`.

## How the client uses it

FieldTask's tool description tells the client to:

-   resolve the person by name with `fieldtask_list_members` first, use their member ID rather than a user account ID, and ask you when a name is ambiguous;
-   for relative periods such as "last week", use the organization's own first day of the week, not an assumed Sunday;
-   ask you for explicit dates when it can't tell which dates you mean.

The result states the time zone and first day of the week it used, so you can check the period.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does | What you can verify |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "How many hours did Alex work from 2 to 8 November?" | Calls `fieldtask_list_members`, then this tool with `start_date: "2026-11-02"` and `end_date: "2026-11-08"`. | `data.start_date`, `data.end_date` and `data.total_duration` in the result. 140,400 seconds is 39 hours. |
| "Show Alex's hours per day this month." | Works out the month's dates and calls the tool once. | One entry in `data.days` for every day of the month, including days with `0`. |
| "Hours for the whole team last week." | Calls the tool once per member. | There's no organization-wide total; each call reports one member. |
| "Alex's hours for the last quarter." | Splits the period into ranges of up to 31 days. | Each call's range is 31 days or fewer. |

## Arguments

fieldtask_get_timesheet_range arguments:

```json
{
  "member_id": "33333333-3333-4333-8333-333333333333",
  "start_date": "2026-11-02",
  "end_date": "2026-11-08"
}
```

-   `start_date` and `end_date` are both included and are calendar days in your organization's time zone, formatted `YYYY-MM-DD`.
-   The range must be 1–31 days, and `end_date` can't be before `start_date`. Otherwise the call fails with `invalid_query`. An argument in the wrong format fails with `validation_failed`.
-   `member_id` must be an active member. Otherwise the call fails with `resource_not_found`.

Arguments for `fieldtask_get_timesheet_range`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `end_date`string (date)required
    
    Last included organization-local date; at most 31 days.
    
    Pattern `^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$`
    
-   `member_id`string (uuid)required
    
    Resolve the person with fieldtask_list_members. Use their membership ID, not a global user ID. Ask about ambiguous names.
    
-   `start_date`string (date)required
    
    First included organization-local date.
    
    Pattern `^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$`
    

Additional properties are rejected.

## Result

fieldtask_get_timesheet_range result:

```json
{
  "data": {
    "member": { "id": "33333333-3333-4333-8333-333333333333", "display_name": "Alex Example" },
    "start_date": "2026-11-02",
    "end_date": "2026-11-08",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "week_starts_on": "monday",
    "duration_unit": "seconds",
    "total_duration": 140400,
    "days": [
      { "date": "2026-11-02", "duration": 28800 },
      { "date": "2026-11-03", "duration": 30600 },
      { "date": "2026-11-04", "duration": 27000 },
      { "date": "2026-11-05", "duration": 28800 },
      { "date": "2026-11-06", "duration": 25200 },
      { "date": "2026-11-07", "duration": 0 },
      { "date": "2026-11-08", "duration": 0 }
    ]
  }
}
```

`days` has one entry for every date in the range, and `total_duration` is their sum. A `0` means no recorded time that day. If FieldTask can't compute the report, the call fails with `temporarily_unavailable`; it never reports zero hours in place of an error.

List customer locations

# fieldtask_list_customer_locations

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-locations/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_customer_locations` lets an AI client list one customer's service locations, page by page. It's how the client finds the location for a job: it first finds the customer with `fieldtask_list_customers`, then lists that customer's locations and matches the name or address you mention.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-locations/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_locations:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

Without these permissions the client can't see any locations. FieldTask instructs it to explain the missing permission rather than treat the customer as having no locations.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "Where does Example Property Services have sites?" | Finds the customer, then lists its locations. |
| "Create a job at Example Property Services' Main office." | Lists the customer's locations and matches *Main office* before calling `fieldtask_create_job` with its `location_id`. |
| "Create a job for Example Property Services" when the customer has no locations | Gets an empty list, then asks you for the job site address before creating anything. |

Before creating a job without a location, FieldTask instructs the client to check the customer's saved locations, unless you've said you don't want one. If there are none, it asks for the job site address, creates the location and uses it for the job.

## Arguments

`customer_id` is required. The client resolves it with `fieldtask_list_customers` or takes it from `fieldtask_create_customer`. There's no search by name or address, and no `external_reference` lookup for locations.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_customer_locations`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `customer_id`string (uuid)required
    
    Resolve the customer by name/contact details with fieldtask_list_customers, or reuse data.id from fieldtask_create_customer. Do not ask the user to supply an ID.
    
-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    

Additional properties are rejected.

If the customer doesn't exist or was deleted, the call fails with `resource_not_found`. A customer with no locations returns an empty `data` list.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping `customer_id` and the other arguments unchanged. A page can hold fewer locations than `page_size`, even when more exist, because FieldTask keeps each MCP result within a size limit. Rely on `page.has_more`.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of locations, and `page`. Each location has the same fields as in [List customer locations (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-locations/#location-fields), including `is_default`, which marks the customer's default location.

List customers

# fieldtask_list_customers

Read-only

-   **Permission:** `customers:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/customers`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customers/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_customers` lets an AI client list the customers in your organization, page by page. It's how the client turns a customer name you mention into the customer ID that other tools need, for example before creating a job or a location.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/customers`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customers/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "Which customers do we have?" | Calls the tool and follows the pages. |
| "Create a job for Example Property Services." | Lists customers to find the one with that name before calling `fieldtask_create_job`. It asks you to choose if several customers match. |
| "Find the customer with the email [facilities@example.com](mailto:facilities@example.com)." | Lists customers and compares email addresses. |

There's no search by name, email or phone number. The client reads pages of customers and compares them itself. FieldTask instructs it to follow every page before deciding a customer doesn't exist, to ask you to choose using readable details when names are ambiguous, and never to create a duplicate customer to avoid a lookup.

Archived customers are included, with `is_archived: true`. Customers deleted in FieldTask aren't.

## Arguments

All arguments are optional. `external_reference` finds the one customer created with that reference through the same client application, and can't be combined with any other argument.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_customers`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `external_reference`stringoptional
    
    Exact case-sensitive reference for this organization and application. Exclusive query mode: cannot be combined with other arguments.
    
    `1–128 characters`
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    

Additional properties are rejected.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping the other arguments unchanged.

A page can hold fewer customers than `page_size`, even when more exist, because FieldTask keeps each MCP result within a size limit. Rely on `page.has_more`, not on the number of customers returned.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of customers, and `page`. Each customer has the same fields as in [List customers (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customers/#customer-fields).

Structured result of `fieldtask_list_customers` (`structuredContent`).

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `true` | Repeating the same call has no further effect. |
| `openWorldHint` | `false` | Works only within FieldTask. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `true` | Only reads data. |

List invoices

# fieldtask_list_invoices

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `customers:read`, `invoices:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/invoices`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-invoices/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_invoices` lets an AI client list the invoices in your organization, page by page, with their totals, paid amounts and balances. It's how the client answers questions such as "which invoices are unpaid?" and finds an invoice before reading its items with `fieldtask_get_invoice`.

Listing invoices never changes them. No FieldTask tool sends an invoice, records a payment or collects money.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/invoices`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-invoices/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `invoices:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

The tool is offered only when invoicing is enabled for your organization.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "Which invoices are still unpaid?" | Calls the tool with `status: "unpaid"`, which covers sent and partly paid invoices, and follows the pages. |
| "Show unpaid October invoices for Example Property Services, with their balances." | Finds the customer with `fieldtask_list_customers`, then calls this tool with `customer_id`, `status: "unpaid"`, `issued_from: "2026-10-01"` and `issued_to: "2026-10-31"`. |
| "List this month's draft invoices." | Calls it with `status: "draft"` and an `issued_from`/`issued_to` range. |

## Arguments

All arguments are optional and can be combined.

-   `status` filters on the stored status. `unpaid` means `sent` or `partial`; it excludes drafts, paid and void invoices.
-   `issued_from` and `issued_to` are inclusive **issue dates** in `YYYY-MM-DD` format, not due dates or creation dates. `issued_from` can't be later than `issued_to`.
-   `customer_id` must be a customer in your organization; otherwise the call fails with `resource_not_found`.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_invoices`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `customer_id`string (uuid)optional
    
-   `issued_from`string (date)optional
    
    Inclusive invoice issue date, not due/creation date.
    
-   `issued_to`string (date)optional
    
    Inclusive invoice issue date.
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    
-   `status`"draft" | "sent" | "paid" | "partial" | "void" | "unpaid"optional
    
    unpaid means sent or partial; excludes draft, paid and void.
    

Additional properties are rejected.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping the other arguments unchanged. A page can hold fewer invoices than `page_size` so that it fits in an MCP response; `page.has_more` is still `true` when more remain.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of invoices, and `page`. Each invoice has its number, status, customer, dates and amounts, but not its items, taxes or discount. Those come from `fieldtask_get_invoice`.

Amounts are decimal strings in `currency`:

-   `total_amount` is the total including tax, before the invoice discount.
-   `discounted_amount` is the final invoice total.
-   `paid_amount` is the sum of payments recorded in FieldTask.
-   `balance` is `discounted_amount` minus `paid_amount`, and can be negative.

List job items

# fieldtask_list_job_items

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-job-items/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_job_items` lets an AI client list the items on one job, page by page: products and services added to it, and work steps added in the FieldTask app. Each item shows its saved name, quantity, unit price, amount and status.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-job-items/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `job_items:read` | Depends on `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "What's on the Replace condenser fan motor job?" | Finds the job with [`fieldtask_list_jobs`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-jobs/), asking you to choose if several match, then lists its items. |
| "Which steps on that job are still to do?" | Lists the items and reports those with `status: "to do"`. |
| "What's that job worth?" | Reads `job_value` with [`fieldtask_get_job`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-job/). FieldTask tells the client to use `job_value` for the job's total rather than adding up a page of items. |

## Arguments

`job_id` is required. The client resolves it with `fieldtask_list_jobs`; you never need to supply it. There are no filters.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_job_items`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `job_id`string (uuid)required
    
    Resolve the job with fieldtask_list_jobs. Use the returned job ID; do not ask the user to copy IDs.
    
-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    

Additional properties are rejected.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping `job_id` and the other arguments unchanged. To fit MCP's response size limit, a page can hold fewer items than `page_size` even when more exist; `page.has_more` still tells the client to continue.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of items, and `page`. Each item has the same fields as in [List job items (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-job-items/#item-fields). In short:

-   Items are saved values, not catalog links: there's no product or price ID.
-   Work steps and priced items look the same. A unit price of `0.00` doesn't make an item a work step.
-   `amount` is `quantity` × `unit_price` exactly, with four decimal places.
-   `status` is currently `to do`, `done` or `not done`.
-   `allow_evidences` only says whether evidence collection is turned on. Photos, audio and notes aren't available.

Structured result of `fieldtask_list_job_items` (`structuredContent`).

-   `data`array of objectrequired
    
    `at most 100 items`
    
    -   `allow_evidences`booleanrequired
        
    -   `amount`stringrequired
        
        Exact quantity × unit_price, without per-line rounding. This is not an invoice total.
        
        Pattern `^\d+\.\d{4}$`
        
    -   `created_at`string (date-time) | nullrequired
        
    -   `currency`stringrequired
        
        Pattern `^[A-Z]{3}$`
        
    -   `description`string | nullrequired
        
    -   `id`string (uuid)required
        
    -   `item_type`stringrequired
        
    -   `job_id`string (uuid)required
        
    -   `name`string | nullrequired

List jobs

# fieldtask_list_jobs

Read-only

-   **Permission:** `jobs:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/jobs`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-jobs/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_jobs` lets an AI client list the jobs in your organization, page by page. It's how the client answers questions such as "what's on today?" and finds a job by name before reading or changing anything related to it.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/jobs`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-jobs/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

The `customer`, `location` and assignee fields in each job need `customers:read`, `customer_locations:read` and `members:read` respectively. Without them the client still gets the job but not those summaries.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "What jobs are scheduled today?" | Calls the tool with `scheduled_date: "today"` and follows the pages. The result's `page.schedule_filter` shows which date and time zone FieldTask used. |
| "Show jobs for 10 November." | Calls it with `scheduled_date: "2026-11-10"`. |
| "Find the job for Example Property Services' rooftop inspection." | Lists jobs, newest first, and matches by name and customer. It asks you to choose if several match. |

For daily questions, FieldTask instructs the client to use `scheduled_date` rather than scanning all jobs. The day is interpreted in your organization's time zone, and jobs that overlap the day, including overnight jobs, are included. Unscheduled jobs aren't.

## Arguments

All arguments are optional. Use at most one of `scheduled_date` and `external_reference`; `external_reference` can't be combined with any other argument.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_jobs`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `external_reference`stringoptional
    
    Exact case-sensitive reference for this organization and application. Exclusive query mode: cannot be combined with other arguments.
    
    `1–128 characters`
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    
-   `scheduled_date`stringoptional
    
    Use 'today' or YYYY-MM-DD in the organization's timezone. Returns jobs whose stored start/end interval overlaps that day, including overnight and anytime jobs. Unscheduled jobs and missing/invalid intervals are excluded; recurrence is not expanded. Use this for daily reports instead of scanning job history. Keep unchanged across pages.
    
    Pattern `^(today|[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2})$`
    

Additional properties are rejected.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping the other arguments unchanged.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of jobs, and `page`. Each job has the same fields as in [List jobs (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-jobs/#fields-that-depend-on-permissions).

Structured result of `fieldtask_list_jobs` (`structuredContent`).

List member invitations

# fieldtask_list_member_invitations

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `members:invite`, `members:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/member-invitations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-member-invitations/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_member_invitations` lets an AI client list the invitations for ordinary members of your organization, with each one's status and expiry. It includes invitations created in the FieldTask app as well as through the API. Invitations for admins aren't shown.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/member-invitations`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-member-invitations/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:invite` | Depends on `members:read` |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |

The invitation tools act on behalf of the owner or admin who approved the AI client's connection, and that person's **current** role counts. The tools appear only while they're still the organization's owner or an active admin. If they lose that role, the tools disappear from the client's tool list, and calls return `operation_forbidden`. The tools also need invitation reads enabled by FieldTask.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "Which invitations are still pending?" | Lists invitations and reports those with `status: "pending"`, with their `expires_at`. |
| "Did Jordan accept their invitation?" | Lists invitations, newest first, and finds the one for Jordan's address. |
| "Show invitations sent this week." | Lists newest first and stops once `created_at` is older than the week. |

The tool has no filters. The client pages through and filters the results itself.

## Arguments

All arguments are optional.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_member_invitations`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    

Additional properties are rejected.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping `page_size` and `ordering` unchanged. A page can hold fewer invitations than `page_size` while `page.has_more` is still `true`, to stay within MCP's size limit.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of invitations, and `page`. Each invitation has `id`, `email`, `role` (always `member`), `status`, `created_at` and `expires_at`. `status` is `pending`, `accepted`, `revoked` or `expired`; see [Invitation status](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-member-invitations/#invitation-status).

An invitation's `id` isn't a member ID. Once someone accepts, find their member ID with [`fieldtask_list_members`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-members/).

    -   `next_cursor`string | nullrequired
        
        `at most 4096 characters`
        

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `true` | Repeating the same call has no further effect. |
| `openWorldHint` | `false` | Works only within FieldTask. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `true` | Only reads data. |

It's how the client turns a person's name, such as "Alex", into the member ID that other tools need: assignees for [`fieldtask_create_job`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-job/), and `member_id` for [timesheet totals](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-timesheet-range/) and [timesheet entries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-timesheet-entries/).

There's no MCP tool for reading a single member. The REST endpoint [`GET /public/v1/members/{id}`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-member/) has no MCP equivalent; the client finds people with this list instead.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/members`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |

The tool appears only where FieldTask has enabled member roster reads.

## How the client uses it

FieldTask's tool description tells the client to:

-   match people by `display_name`, and not ask you to copy IDs;
-   treat `id` as the organization **member ID** used for job assignment, not a user account ID;
-   use `page.next_cursor` to read the next page.

When a name matches more than one member, a well-behaved client asks you which one you mean. These are instructions to the client, not guarantees, so check the result of anything it does with the ID.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "Who's on the team?" | Calls the tool and follows the pages, then lists the members' names and job titles. |
| "Assign Alex to the rooftop inspection." | Calls this tool to find Alex's member ID before creating the job. |
| "How many hours did Alex work last week?" | Calls this tool for Alex's member ID, then `fieldtask_get_timesheet_range`. |

## Arguments

All arguments are optional.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_members`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    

Additional properties are rejected.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping `page_size` and `ordering` unchanged. To keep results within MCP's size limit, a page can hold fewer members than `page_size` while `page.has_more` is still `true`.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of members, and `page`. Each member has `id`, `display_name`, `designation` (job title, or `null`), `status` and, where FieldTask has enabled change tracking for members, `revision`. Only active members are listed, so `status` is always `active`. Members don't include email addresses, roles or user account IDs. See [List members (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/#what-a-member-includes).

# fieldtask_list_products

Read-only

-   **Permission:** `products:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/products`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_products` lets an AI client search your organization's catalog of products and services, page by page, and see each one's price options. It's how the client turns "the condenser fan motor job, standard rate" into the product and price IDs it needs to add a line item to a job, a quote or an invoice.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/products`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/).

Only products and services approved in your catalog are listed. Unavailable ones are included unless the client filters them out.

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "What prices do we have for condenser fan motor replacement?" | Calls the tool with `search: "condenser"` and shows each option by name and amount, for example Standard 185.00 USD and After hours 260.00 USD. |
| "List the services we can add to jobs." | Calls it with `item_type: "service"` and `is_available: true`, following pages. |
| "Add a condenser fan motor replacement to the Replace condenser fan motor job." | Searches here first, then asks you which price to use if the product has more than one, before calling [`fieldtask_create_job_item`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-job-item/). |

FieldTask's tool description tells the client to search by name, then inspect `prices`; to keep named options separate even when their amounts match; and to ask you to choose among them. These are instructions to the client, not guarantees.

## Arguments

All arguments are optional, and filters can be combined. `search` matches anywhere in the name, ignoring case; descriptions aren't searched.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_products`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `is_available`booleanoptional
    
-   `item_type`"product" | "service" | "other"optional
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    
-   `search`stringoptional
    
    Case-insensitive match in product/service name.
    
    `1–256 characters`
    

Additional properties are rejected.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping the other arguments unchanged. To fit MCP's response size limit, a page can hold fewer products than `page_size` even when more exist; `page.has_more` still tells the client to continue.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of products, and `page`. Each product has the same fields as in [List products (REST)](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/#product-fields).

Each entry in `prices` is one price option:

-   A legacy unit price (`source: "legacy"`, with `id` and `name` set to `null`) comes first, when the product has one greater than zero. Named options (`source: "price"`) follow, newest first.
-   An empty `prices` list means no price is configured, not that the product is free.
-   A `recurring` option doesn't create a subscription or a recurring job.

See [Reading prices](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/#reading-prices) for every field.

List quotes

# fieldtask_list_quotes

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `customers:read`, `quotes:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/quotes`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_quotes` lets an AI client list the quotes in your organization, page by page, with their status and totals. It's how the client answers questions such as "which quotes are still waiting for Example Property Services?" and finds a quote before reading its items with `fieldtask_get_quote`.

Listing quotes never changes them. No FieldTask tool sends, accepts, declines or converts a quote.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/quotes`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `quotes:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

The `location` summary in each quote needs `customer_locations:read`. Without it the client still gets the quote, but not that summary.

The tool is offered only when Quotes is available for your organization.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "Which quotes have we sent to Example Property Services?" | Finds the customer with `fieldtask_list_customers`, then calls this tool with `customer_id` and `status: "sent"`. |
| "Show our draft quotes, newest first." | Calls it with `status: "draft"` and `ordering: "-created_at"`. |
| "What's the total of quote QT-1037?" | Lists quotes and matches `quote_number`, then reads `total` and `currency`. |

## Arguments

All arguments are optional and can be combined. `customer_id` must be a customer in your organization; otherwise the call fails with `resource_not_found`. There's no date filter.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_quotes`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `customer_id`string (uuid)optional
    
-   `ordering`"created_at" | "-created_at"optionaldefault "created_at"
    
    Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at). Keep unchanged when following a cursor.
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    
-   `status`"draft" | "sent" | "accepted" | "declined" | "expired" | "archived"optional
    

Additional properties are rejected.

To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor`, keeping the other arguments unchanged. A page can hold fewer quotes than `page_size` so that it fits in an MCP response; `page.has_more` is still `true` when more remain.

## Result

The result has `data`, a list of quotes, and `page`. Each quote has its number, title, status, customer, dates, `selected_revision` and totals, but not its items, terms or customer note. Those come from `fieldtask_get_quote`.

Amounts are decimal strings in `currency`. They describe `selected_revision`: the accepted revision if there is one, otherwise the current revision, which for a sent quote being edited is a `draft`. See [Which version the values come from](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/#which-version-the-values-come-from) and the [field descriptions](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/#quote-fields).

## Tool annotations

Tool annotations your client receives.

| Annotation | Value | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `destructiveHint` | `false` | Never modifies or removes existing records. |
| `idempotentHint` | `true` | Repeating the same call has no further effect. |
| `openWorldHint` | `false` | Works only within FieldTask. |
| `readOnlyHint` | `true` | Only reads data. |

List a member's timesheet entries

# fieldtask_list_timesheet_entries

Read-only

-   **Permissions:** `members:read`, `timesheets:read`
-   **REST equivalent:** [`GET /public/v1/timesheets/entries`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-timesheet-entries/)
-   **Safe retries:** Reads only; safe to repeat

`fieldtask_list_timesheet_entries` lets an AI client list one member's individual timesheet entries over a range of 1–31 days, ordered by start time. Each entry has its start and end time and, where available, the job it was recorded against.

Use it for "what did Alex work on on Tuesday?". For "how many hours", the client should use [`fieldtask_get_timesheet_range`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-timesheet-range/) instead.

Same checks and results as REST [`GET /public/v1/timesheets/entries`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-timesheet-entries/).

## Permissions

Permissions the connection must hold for the tool to appear and run.

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |
| `timesheets:read` | Depends on `members:read` |

Job names on entries also need `jobs:read`. Without it, every entry's `job` is `null`. The tool appears only where FieldTask has enabled timesheet reads.

## How the client uses it

FieldTask's tool description tells the client to:

-   resolve the person with [`fieldtask_list_members`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-list-members/) and use their member ID;
-   follow cursors with the same member, dates and page size;
-   use `fieldtask_get_timesheet_range` for worked hours, and not add up paged entries as a total.

Entries keep their full start and end times, even where they extend beyond the range, so adding them up can give a different figure from the report.

## Example prompts

| You ask | What the client typically does |
| --- | --- |
| "What did Alex work on on 2 November?" | Calls `fieldtask_list_members`, then this tool with `start_date` and `end_date` both `2026-11-02`, and lists the jobs. |
| "Show Alex's time entries this week." | Calls this tool for the week's dates and follows `page.next_cursor` until `page.has_more` is `false`. |
| "List every entry Alex has this year." | Splits the period into ranges of up to 31 days, and shorter ones if a range has too many entries. |

## Arguments

fieldtask_list_timesheet_entries arguments:

```json
{
  "member_id": "33333333-3333-4333-8333-333333333333",
  "start_date": "2026-11-02",
  "end_date": "2026-11-08",
  "page_size": 50
}
```

-   `member_id`, `start_date` and `end_date` are required. The dates follow the same rules as [timesheet totals](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-get-timesheet-range/#arguments).
-   `page_size` is 1–100 and defaults to 25. To keep results within MCP's size limit, a page can hold fewer entries than `page_size` while `page.has_more` is still `true`.
-   To read the next page, the client passes `page.next_cursor` back as `cursor` with every other argument unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours.

A range can contain at most 5,000 entries for the member. If it has more, the call fails with `report_too_large` on every page. A smaller `page_size` doesn't help; the client must use a shorter range.

Arguments for `fieldtask_list_timesheet_entries`. Descriptions are the text your AI client receives.

-   `end_date`string (date)required
    
    Last included organization-local date; at most 31 days.
    
    Pattern `^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$`
    
-   `member_id`string (uuid)required
    
    Resolve the person with fieldtask_list_members. Use their membership ID, not a global user ID. Ask about ambiguous names.
    
-   `start_date`string (date)required
    
    First included organization-local date.
    
    Pattern `^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$`
    
-   `cursor`stringoptional
    
    `1–4096 characters`
    
-   `page_size`integeroptionaldefault 25
    

Additional properties are rejected.

Times are in UTC. `job` is `null` when the entry has no job, the connection lacks `jobs:read`, job details aren't published, or the job is no longer available. Entries don't include approval status, pay, location tracking, idle time or edit history.

# Create a customer location

`POST /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`

Required permissions: `customer_locations:create`, `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read`.

Creates one service location for an existing customer: a named address where your team works, with an optional map position and geofence radius.

Locations belong to a customer. You can then attach a location to a job with `location_id` in [Create a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/).

This endpoint only creates. It never matches or updates an existing location. If you send the same body twice without the same `Idempotency-Key`, you get two locations with the same name and address. See [Idempotency and safe retries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/#idempotency-and-safe-retries).

:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**. Until FieldTask enables it, every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
2. **A REST credential** with the permissions below: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.
3. **The ID of an existing customer**, for the `customer_id` in the URL. Find it with `GET /public/v1/customers`, or create the customer first with `POST /public/v1/customers`. Archived customers can be used; deleted customers can't.
4. **A check that the location doesn't already exist.** List the customer's locations with `GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations` and compare names and addresses. Locations don't accept an `external_reference`, so this is the only way to find one again.

### Permissions

Every request needs all of these permissions:

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_locations:create` | Depends on `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |
| `customer_locations:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

No field needs an additional permission.

Adding a permission to a connection doesn't happen automatically. An owner or admin edits it in **Settings → API connections**. API tokens keep the same token string when their permissions change. OAuth integrations must also request the new scope when they get an access token.

## Parameters

- `customer_id` (path, required, string)
- `Idempotency-Key` (header, optional, string)

## Field guide

The customer comes from the URL: `POST /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`. It must be a customer in your organization that hasn't been deleted; archived customers are accepted. An ID that doesn't match such a customer is rejected with `422 validation_failed`, not `404`.

The request body is a single JSON object. `name` and `address` are required.

| Field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | Yes | A label for the location, such as `Main office`. At most 256 characters; spaces at either end are removed and what remains can't be empty. Control characters, including tabs and line breaks, aren't allowed. |
| `address` | Yes | The full street address, with the same length and character rules as `name`. It's saved as sent, apart from removing spaces at either end, and it's what FieldTask uses to look up coordinates. |
| `latitude` | No | A number from -90 to 90. Send it together with `longitude`, and only when you already know the position. See [Coordinates](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/#coordinates). |
| `longitude` | No | A number from -180 to 180. Send it together with `latitude`. |
| `radius` | No | The geofence radius around the location, in **metres**, as a whole number from 1 to 2,147,483,647. Defaults to `100`. It's always metres, whatever distance unit your organization displays. `null` and numbers with a decimal point, such as `100.0`, are rejected. |

Anything else in the body is rejected with `422 validation_failed`. That includes `customer_id`, `is_default` and `external_reference`: locations don't accept an external reference.

### Body and header rules

- Send `Content-Type: application/json` with an uncompressed body. A `Content-Encoding` header is rejected with `415`.
- The body can be at most 256 KiB and nest at most 10 levels deep.
- Duplicate property names, `NaN` and `Infinity` are rejected with `400 invalid_json`.
- The URL must have no query string.

## Coordinates

You have two options:

- **You know the position.** Send `latitude` and `longitude` together. They're saved immediately and FieldTask doesn't look anything up. Sending only one of them, or `null` for either, is rejected with `422`.
- **You don't.** Leave both out. The location is saved with `latitude` and `longitude` set to `null`, and FieldTask looks up the address after the request, as follow-up work. Never guess or derive coordinates yourself just to fill the fields.

The lookup only fills in `latitude` and `longitude`. It never changes the address, name, radius or default location. It runs only where FieldTask has enabled it; elsewhere the coordinates stay `null`.

The `201` response is a snapshot from the moment of creation, so it shows `null` coordinates even if the lookup finishes a moment later. So does a replay with the same key. To see the coordinates, wait until the operation is no longer `pending` (see [What happens after the location is saved](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/#what-happens-after-the-location-is-saved)), then read the location with `GET /public/v1/customer-locations/{resource_id}`.

## The default location

Each customer has one default location.

- The customer's **first** location becomes the default. Deleted locations don't count. The response has `"is_default": true`.
- Every later location is created with `"is_default": false`, and the existing default doesn't change. The API can't change which location is the default.
- If the customer already has locations but none of them is the default, which can happen with older data, the request is rejected with `422 validation_failed`. Make one of the customer's locations the default in FieldTask, then retry with the same key.

## The customer's primary address

A customer's `primary_address` is a single address shown on the customer record. Locations don't change it, with one exception: the customer's first location.

| When you create | And the customer's `primary_address` is | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The customer's first location | `null` or empty | It's set to this location's `address`. |
| The customer's first location | Already this address | Nothing changes. |
| The customer's first location | A different address | It stays as it is. The operation reports a `blocked` target with `reconciliation_required`. The location is still created. |
| Any later location | Anything | Nothing changes. |

Customers created through the API start with no primary address, so their first location sets it unless someone has added one in FieldTask in the meantime.

## Idempotency and safe retries

Send an `Idempotency-Key` header with a new value, such as a UUID, for every new location, and save it with your own record before sending. If you get no response, a timeout or a `5xx`, send **the same body to the same URL with the same key** again, with backoff.

| Situation | Result |
| --- | --- |
| New key | The location is created. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: false`. |
| Same key, same customer, same body, within 7 days | The original response is returned again. No second location is created and it isn't counted against your daily create allowance. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: true`. |
| Same key, different body **or a different `customer_id`** | `409 idempotency_key_reused`. Nothing is created. The customer in the URL is part of the request. |
| Same key while the first request is still running | `409 operation_in_progress` with `Retry-After`. Retry with the same key and body. |
| Same key more than 7 days later | `409 idempotency_window_expired`. A key can never be reused for a different location. |
| Same key, but the location or its customer was deleted since | `410 resource_gone`. Don't create it again automatically. |

"Same body" means the same JSON value: leaving `radius` out is different from sending `"radius": 100`, even though the result is the same.

Keys are 16–128 printable ASCII characters and are scoped to the organization, the connection and the kind of request. Without a key, the server generates one and returns it in the `Idempotency-Key` response header, which only helps if you receive the response.

## What happens after the location is saved

A `201` response means the location is saved in FieldTask, together with any change to the customer's primary address. Nothing further is needed for it to exist, and later follow-up work never removes it. No external system is contacted during the request.

Follow-up work is reported on the operation, not on the location. Read the `Operation-Location` URL from the `201` response with the same credential (needs `customer_locations:read` and `customers:read`):

```bash
curl "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/operations/OPERATION_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"
```

While FieldTask is looking up coordinates, the operation looks like this:

```json
{
  "data": {
    "id": "88888888-8888-4888-8888-888888888821",
    "command": "customer_location.create",
    "local_status": "committed",
    "created_at": "2026-11-03T14:01:05.732Z",
    "result_expires_at": "2026-11-10T14:01:05.732Z",
    "http_status": 201,
    "resource": { "type": "customer_locations", "id": "22222222-2222-4222-8222-222222222222" },
    "integration": {
      "status": "pending",
      "updated_at": "2026-11-03T14:01:05.732Z",
      "targets": [
        { "id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999931", "status": "pending", "error_code": null }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

A location create can have up to three kinds of follow-up work, each reported as one entry in `integration.targets`:

| Follow-up work | When it's added | What the target reports |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Coordinate lookup | You left out `latitude` and `longitude`. | `pending` while queued, including automatic retries after temporary lookup failures. `succeeded` once the coordinates are saved. `blocked` with `configuration_required` where FieldTask hasn't enabled the lookup. `failed` with `invalid_upstream_data` if the address couldn't be resolved. `blocked` with `reconciliation_required` if the location was edited or deleted before the lookup finished; FieldTask never overwrites a newer change. |
| Primary address conflict | This is the customer's first location and the customer already had a different primary address. | `blocked` with `reconciliation_required`. Nothing is done automatically. |
| External synchronization of the customer's address | This location set the customer's primary address and your organization has external customer synchronization turned on. | `blocked` with `configuration_required`. See the note below. |

When there's no follow-up work, `integration.status` is `not_applicable`. Targets don't say which kind of work they are; when there's more than one, use each target's `status` and `error_code`. See [Get an operation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-operation/) for how target statuses combine into `integration.status`.

:::caution Pending confirmation
In the review contract, primary-address changes made through the API aren't sent to a connected CRM. If your organization has external customer synchronization turned on, the operation reports a `blocked` target with `configuration_required`. The location and the customer's primary address are still saved.
:::

If the coordinate lookup fails or is blocked, the location keeps `null` coordinates. The public API can't update a location, so correct it in FieldTask, or create future locations with known coordinates.

Operation results are kept for seven days. After that, `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}` returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the location wasn't created.

## Recovering from failures

| What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Timeout, connection error or `5xx` | Retry the same body to the same URL with the same key, with exponential backoff. |
| `409 operation_in_progress` or `429` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `201` received | Store `data.id` and the `Location` and `Operation-Location` headers. Stop retrying. |
| Key older than 7 days, or the result expired | Don't create again yet. List the customer's locations and look for the name and address you sent. |

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost. A new key means a new location.

## Errors

Errors use `application/problem+json`. The top-level `code` is the stable machine-readable value; `error` adds a readable message, a suggested fix and a documentation link. For a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`. Validation errors don't say which field failed, and error responses never echo submitted values. See [Errors](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/).

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The URL has a query string. Create requests accept none. | Send the request to `/public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations` with no query parameters. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses `NaN`/`Infinity` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | `Idempotency-Key` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `customer_locations:create`, `customer_locations:read` or `customers:read`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection, then retry with the same key. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the request was processed, or the result would include data the connection can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry. Retry creates with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The URL is wrong, for example `customer_id` isn't a UUID, or the public API isn't available in this environment. A well-formed `customer_id` that doesn't match a customer returns `422`, not `404`. | Check the API origin and path. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Location creation isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Contact FieldTask if you expected location creation to be available. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used with a different body or for a different `customer_id`. | Resend the original body to the original URL with this key, or use a new key for a different location. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | Reconcile using your saved location ID, or list the customer's locations, before creating anything new. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | You replayed a key whose location, or its customer, has since been deleted in FieldTask. | Don't create the location again automatically. Check with an owner or admin whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Send a smaller body. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | `Content-Type` isn't `application/json`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with `Content-Type: application/json`. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | A field is missing, unknown or invalid; only one coordinate was sent; `customer_id` doesn't match a customer in your organization that hasn't been deleted; or the customer has locations but no default location. | Check the request against the field guide and the customer ID. The response doesn't name the field. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds. Retry creates with the same key. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily create allowance. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. The location may or may not have been created. | Retry with the same key and body, with exponential backoff. |

Every response, including errors, has an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it, with the time and the status code, when you contact support. Never send tokens or secrets.

## Limits

Location creates count against the same per-minute, concurrency and daily create limits as other creates. Replaying an already-created location with its original key doesn't count as another create. See [Rate limits](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/rate-limits/).

## Response headers

A successful create returns `201 Created` with these headers:

| Header | Always present | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Cache-Control` | Yes | Always `no-store` |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Yes | string |
| `Idempotency-Replayed` | Yes | `true` or `false` |
| `Location` | Yes | uri-reference |
| `Operation-Location` | Yes | uri-reference |
| `X-Request-ID` | Yes | uuid |

`Location` is the location's own URL, `/public/v1/customer-locations/{id}`, not a path under the customer. The server also returns the `Idempotency-Key` that was used, including one it generated.

# Create a customer

`POST /public/v1/customers`

Required permissions: `customers:create`, `customers:read`.

Creates one customer in the organization your credential is connected to.

Only `name` is required. You can also save an email address, a phone number, a display color and your own system's identifier for the customer.

This endpoint only creates. It never matches, updates or restores an existing customer, even one with the same name. If you send the same body twice without the same `Idempotency-Key`, you get two customers, or a `422` if the body includes an email address that's now in use. See [Idempotency and safe retries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/#idempotency-and-safe-retries).

:::info Preview
This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**. Until FieldTask enables it, every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
2. **A REST credential** with the permissions below: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.
3. **A check that the customer doesn't already exist.** If you created it earlier with an `external_reference`, look it up with `GET /public/v1/customers?external_reference=…`. Otherwise page through `GET /public/v1/customers` and compare names and email addresses.

To add the customer's service address, create a location for it next with `POST /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`. A customer can't be given an address in this request.

### Permissions

Every request needs all of these permissions:

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:create` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

No field needs an additional permission.

Adding a permission to a connection doesn't happen automatically. An owner or admin edits it in **Settings → API connections**. API tokens keep the same token string when their permissions change. OAuth integrations must also request the new scope when they get an access token.

## Parameters

- `Idempotency-Key` (header, optional, string)

## Field guide

The request body is a single JSON object. Only `name` is required. Every optional field you leave out is saved as `null`.

| Field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | Yes | The customer's name, at most 256 characters. Spaces at either end are removed; what remains can't be empty. Control characters, including tabs and line breaks, aren't allowed. Names don't have to be unique. |
| `email` | No | A valid email address of at most 256 characters, or `null`. It must not already belong to another customer in your organization. See [Email addresses](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/#email-addresses). Defaults to `null`. |
| `phone_number` | No | International format: `+`, the country code and the number, with no spaces or punctuation, such as `+15555550100`. The first digit after `+` can't be `0`, and there can be 2–15 digits. Defaults to `null`. |
| `color` | No | A display color as `#` followed by six hexadecimal digits, such as `#336699`. Defaults to `null`. |
| `external_reference` | No | Your system's identifier for this customer. See [External references](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/#external-references). Omit it rather than sending `null`. |

Anything else in the body is rejected with `422 validation_failed`. That includes fields that appear in the response, such as `primary_address` and `is_archived`, and `organization_id`. The organization always comes from your credential.

A new customer is never archived, and its `primary_address` is `null`. The first location you add to the customer can fill in `primary_address`; see [Create a customer location](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/#the-customers-primary-address).

### Body and header rules

- Send `Content-Type: application/json` with an uncompressed body. A `Content-Encoding` header is rejected with `415`.
- The body can be at most 256 KiB and nest at most 10 levels deep.
- Duplicate property names, `NaN` and `Infinity` are rejected with `400 invalid_json`.
- The URL must have no query string.

## Email addresses

Each customer email address can belong to only one customer in your organization.

- If another customer already has the address, the request is rejected with `422 validation_failed`. The response doesn't say which customer has it, or that the email was the problem.
- The check includes customers that were deleted in FieldTask. A deleted customer doesn't appear in lists but still holds its email address.
- The address is stored exactly as sent. It isn't trimmed or lowercased, and spaces at either end are rejected. Uniqueness is case-sensitive, so `Facilities@example.com` and `facilities@example.com` count as different addresses. Normalize case in your own system if you want to avoid near-duplicates.
- Customers without an email address never conflict with each other.

If you get a `422` and the rest of the body is valid, look for the existing customer with `GET /public/v1/customers` and compare email addresses. If you don't find it, it may have been deleted; create the customer without `email`, or ask an owner or admin to check in FieldTask.

## External references

`external_reference` stores your own system's identifier for the customer, so you can find it again without keeping FieldTask IDs.

- It's 1–128 characters, can't be only whitespace and can't contain control characters.
- It's stored exactly as sent: case-sensitive and never trimmed.
- It's unique per organization and client application. A second customer with the same reference is rejected with `409 external_reference_conflict`; the existing customer isn't changed.
- It isn't returned in the customer body. Look a customer up with `GET /public/v1/customers?external_reference=…`. That parameter can't be combined with any other.

An external reference is not an idempotency key. Use both: the reference identifies the record in your system, and the key makes one request safe to retry. See [External references](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/external-references/).

## Idempotency and safe retries

Send an `Idempotency-Key` header with a new value, such as a UUID, for every new customer, and save it with your own record before sending. If you get no response, a timeout or a `5xx`, send **the same body with the same key** again, with backoff.

| Situation | Result |
| --- | --- |
| New key | The customer is created. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: false`. |
| Same key, same body, within 7 days | The original response is returned again. No second customer is created and it isn't counted against your daily create allowance. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: true`. |
| Same key, different body | `409 idempotency_key_reused`. Nothing is created. |
| Same key while the first request is still running | `409 operation_in_progress` with `Retry-After`. Retry with the same key and body. |
| Same key more than 7 days later | `409 idempotency_window_expired`. A key can never be reused for a different customer. |
| Same key, but the customer was deleted since | `410 resource_gone`. Don't create it again automatically. |

A replay returns the response as it was when the customer was created, not the customer's current state. Read the customer with `GET /public/v1/customers/{resource_id}` for current values.

A retry with the same key never fails because of the customer's own email address: the key is checked first, so you get the original `201` back. If you lost a response and then sent the body again with a **new** key, a `422` can mean the first attempt succeeded.

Keys are 16–128 printable ASCII characters and are scoped to the organization, the connection and the kind of request. Without a key, the server generates one and returns it in the `Idempotency-Key` response header, which only helps if you receive the response. For the full rules, see [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

## What happens after the customer is saved

A `201` response means the customer is saved in FieldTask. Nothing further is needed for it to exist, and later follow-up work never removes it. No external system is contacted during the request.

Any follow-up work is reported on the operation, not on the customer. Read the `Operation-Location` URL from the `201` response with the same credential (needs `customers:read`). See [Get an operation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-operation/) for the status values.

:::caution Pending confirmation
In the review contract, customers created through the API aren't sent to a connected CRM. If your organization has external customer synchronization turned on, the operation reports a `blocked` target with `configuration_required`. Otherwise `integration.status` is `not_applicable`. The customer itself is created either way.
:::

Operation results are kept for seven days. After that, `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}` returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the customer wasn't created.

## Recovering from failures

| What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Timeout, connection error or `5xx` | Retry the same body with the same key, with exponential backoff. |
| `409 operation_in_progress` or `429` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `201` received | Store `data.id` and the `Location` and `Operation-Location` headers. Stop retrying. |
| `422` on a body that was accepted before | The email address may already be in use, possibly by the customer your first attempt created. See [Email addresses](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/#email-addresses). |
| Key older than 7 days, or the result expired | Don't create again yet. Look for the customer with `GET /public/v1/customers?external_reference=…` or your saved customer ID. |

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost. A new key means a new customer.

## Errors

Errors use `application/problem+json`. The top-level `code` is the stable machine-readable value; `error` adds a readable message, a suggested fix and a documentation link. For a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`. Validation errors don't say which field failed, and error responses never echo submitted values. See [Errors](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/).

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The URL has a query string. Create requests accept none. | Send the request to `/public/v1/customers` with no query parameters. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses `NaN`/`Infinity` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | `Idempotency-Key` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `customers:create` or `customers:read`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection, then retry with the same key. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the request was processed, or the result would include data the connection can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry. Retry creates with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The public API isn't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the API origin and path. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Customer creation isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Contact FieldTask if you expected customer creation to be available. |
| 409 | `external_reference_conflict` | Another customer created through this client application already uses this `external_reference`. Nothing was updated. | Find the existing customer with `GET /public/v1/customers?external_reference=…`. Use a new reference only for a genuinely new customer. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used with a different body. | Resend the original body with this key, or use a new key for a different customer. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | Reconcile using your saved customer ID or `external_reference` before creating anything new. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | You replayed a key whose customer has since been deleted in FieldTask. | Don't create the customer again automatically. Check with an owner or admin whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Send a smaller body. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | `Content-Type` isn't `application/json`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with `Content-Type: application/json`. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | A field is missing, unknown or invalid, or `email` already belongs to another customer in the organization, including a deleted one. | Check the request against the field guide. If only the email can be wrong, see [Email addresses](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer/#email-addresses). The response doesn't name the field. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds. Retry creates with the same key. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily create allowance. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. The customer may or may not have been created. | Retry with the same key and body, with exponential backoff. |

Every response, including errors, has an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it, with the time and the status code, when you contact support. Never send tokens or secrets.

## Limits

Customer creates count against the same per-minute, concurrency and daily create limits as other creates. Replaying an already-created customer with its original key doesn't count as another create. See [Rate limits](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/rate-limits/).

## Response headers

A successful create returns `201 Created` with these headers:

| Header | Always present | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Cache-Control` | Yes | Always `no-store` |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Yes | string |
| `Idempotency-Replayed` | Yes | `true` or `false` |
| `Location` | Yes | uri-reference |
| `Operation-Location` | Yes | uri-reference |
| `X-Request-ID` | Yes | uuid |

`Location` is the customer's URL, `/public/v1/customers/{id}`. The server also returns the `Idempotency-Key` that was used, including one it generated.

# Create a draft invoice

`POST /public/v1/invoices`

Required permissions: `invoices:create`, `invoices:read`, `customers:read`, `products:read`.

Creates one **draft** invoice for an existing customer, priced from your product and service catalog, with optional taxes and a discount.

A draft invoice is only saved in FieldTask. Creating it doesn't send it to the customer, doesn't collect or record a payment, and doesn't link it to a job or copy a job's items. The invoice stays a draft until someone in your organization sends it from FieldTask.

The invoice, its line items, taxes and discount are saved together or not at all. This endpoint only creates: it never matches or updates an existing invoice. If you send the same body twice without the same `Idempotency-Key`, you get two invoices. See [Idempotency and safe retries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#idempotency-and-safe-retries).

:::info Preview
This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**. Until FieldTask enables it, every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
2. **Invoicing enabled for your organization.** If your organization can't use invoices in FieldTask, every invoice request returns `404 resource_not_found`.
3. **A REST credential** with the permissions below: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.
4. **The ID of an existing customer.** Find it with `GET /public/v1/customers`, or create the customer first with `POST /public/v1/customers`. Archived customers can be used.
5. **The product and price IDs for every line item.** Find them with `GET /public/v1/products`. Each line item is priced from the catalog; you can't send your own prices.

### Permissions

Every request needs all of these permissions:

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `invoices:create` | Depends on `customers:read`, `invoices:read`, `products:read` |
| `invoices:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

No input needs further permissions. REST and MCP connections can both apply taxes and a discount.

Adding a permission to a connection doesn't happen automatically. An owner or admin edits it in **Settings → API connections**. API tokens keep the same token string when their permissions change. OAuth integrations must also request the new scope when they get an access token.

## Field guide

The request body is a single JSON object. `customer_id`, `issued_date` and `items` are required.

| Field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | Yes | ID of a customer in this organization. Archived customers are accepted. |
| `issued_date` | Yes | The invoice date, such as `2026-11-03`. See [Dates](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#dates). |
| `items` | Yes | 1–100 catalog line items. See [Line items](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#line-items). |
| `due_date` | No | The payment due date, such as `2026-12-03`. Defaults to `null`. |
| `name` | No | A label for the invoice, up to 256 characters. Returned as `name`. Defaults to `null`. |
| `subject` | No | Up to 256 characters. Saved with the invoice but not returned by the API. |
| `po_number` | No | Your customer's purchase order number, up to 256 characters. Saved with the invoice but not returned by the API. |
| `notes` | No | Up to 1,024 characters. Saved with the invoice but not returned by the API. |
| `tax1`, `tax2` | No | Up to two named taxes, each `{"name": "…", "type": "percent" or "fixed", "amount": "…"}`. See [Taxes](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#taxes). |
| `discount` | No | `{"type": "percent" or "fixed", "amount": "…"}`. A percentage can't be more than 100. See [Totals and discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#totals-taxes-and-discounts). |

Anything else in the body is rejected with `422 validation_failed`, including fields you might expect to set such as `status`, `invoice_number`, `currency`, `job_id` or a custom unit price. The organization and the currency always come from your credential's organization, and FieldTask assigns the next invoice number automatically.

Decimal values are JSON strings with up to 2 decimal places, never numbers. Send `"8.25"`, not `8.25`.

### Body and header rules

- Send `Content-Type: application/json` with an uncompressed body. A `Content-Encoding` header is rejected with `415`.
- The body can be at most 256 KiB and nest at most 10 levels deep.
- Duplicate property names, `NaN` and `Infinity` are rejected with `400 invalid_json`.
- The URL must have no query string and no trailing slash.

## Line items

Each entry in `items` adds one product or service from your catalog to the invoice.

| Item field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `product_id` | Yes | ID of a product or service from `GET /public/v1/products`. |
| `price_id` | Sometimes | ID of one of the product's named prices. Required when more than one price option applies. |
| `price_source` | No | `price` or `legacy`. Send `legacy` to use the product's legacy unit price explicitly. |
| `quantity` | No | A positive decimal string with up to 8 whole digits and 2 decimal places, such as `"1"` or `"2.50"`. Zero isn't allowed. Defaults to `"1.00"`. |
| `tax1` | No | `true` to apply the invoice's `tax1` to this item. Defaults to `false`. |
| `tax2` | No | `true` to apply the invoice's `tax2` to this item. Defaults to `false`. |

- The product must be active and available in your catalog. A product marked unavailable is rejected.
- Only prices in your organization's currency are considered. If no price option matches your selection, or more than one does, the request is rejected with `422 validation_failed` rather than FieldTask choosing one for you. Send `price_id` whenever a product has more than one price.
- The item's name, description, type and unit price are copied from the catalog when the invoice is created. Later catalog changes don't change the invoice. A product whose description is longer than 1,200 characters can't be added to an invoice.
- If any item is invalid, no invoice is created.

## Taxes

An invoice can have up to two taxes, `tax1` and `tax2`. Each has a `name` (1–64 characters, such as `"Sales tax"`), a `type` and an `amount`:

- `"type": "percent"`: `amount` is a percentage of each flagged item's amount. `"8.25"` means 8.25%.
- `"type": "fixed"`: `amount` is added once **for each flagged item**, not once per invoice.

A tax applies only to the items where you set `"tax1": true` or `"tax2": true`. Flagging an item with a tax the invoice doesn't define is rejected with `422 validation_failed`. Taxes aren't compounded: both are calculated on the item's amount before tax.

## Totals, taxes and discounts

FieldTask calculates the invoice's amounts; you can't send them. For each item:

1. `amount` is quantity × unit price, rounded to cents.
2. `tax1_amount` and `tax2_amount` are the item's taxes, each rounded to cents, or `"0.00"` when the item isn't flagged.
3. `taxed_amount` is the amount plus both taxes.

For the invoice:

| Response field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `total_tax1`, `total_tax2` | The sum of each tax over the items. |
| `total_amount` | The sum of the items' taxed amounts: the total **including tax, before the discount**. |
| `discount` | The discount you sent, or `null`. A percentage discount is taken from `total_amount`, including tax. |
| `discounted_amount` | The **final invoice total**: `total_amount` minus the discount, rounded to cents. |
| `paid_amount` | The sum of recorded payments. Always `"0.00"` for a new draft. |
| `balance` | `discounted_amount` minus `paid_amount`. |

Rounding uses round-half-to-even at each step, so a value exactly halfway rounds to the nearest even cent. For example, 8.25% of 370.00 is 30.525, which becomes `"30.52"`. Quotes round halves up instead, so the same figures give `"30.53"` on a quote. Display the returned values rather than recalculating them, and parse them as decimals, not floating-point numbers.

`tax1`, `tax2` and `discount` in the response show what's stored: their `type` and both `percent_amount` and `fixed_amount`, where the one that doesn't apply is `"0.00"`.

## Dates

`issued_date` and `due_date` are calendar dates in `YYYY-MM-DD` format, with no time or time zone. FieldTask stores them exactly as sent. List filters use `issued_date`. See [Dates and times](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/dates-and-times/).

## The draft you get back

A successful create returns the invoice with every field, including its items, taxes and discount:

- `status` is `draft`.
- `invoice_number` is assigned by FieldTask. You can't choose it.
- `currency` is your organization's currency.
- `customer` summarizes the customer.

Read the invoice again later with `GET /public/v1/invoices/{id}`, using the ID from `data.id` or the `Location` header.

## Idempotency and safe retries

Networks fail after a request is sent. The `Idempotency-Key` header lets you retry without creating a duplicate invoice.

1. Before sending, generate a new key for the invoice, such as a UUID, and save it with your own record.
2. Send the request with that key.
3. If you get no response, a timeout or a `5xx`, send **the same body with the same key** again, with backoff.

| Situation | Result |
| --- | --- |
| New key | The invoice is created. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: false`. |
| Same key, same body, within 7 days | The original result is returned again. No second invoice is created and no further allowance is used. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: true`. |
| Same key, different body | `409 idempotency_key_reused`. Nothing is created. |
| Same key while the first request is still running | `409 operation_in_progress` with `Retry-After`. Retry with the same key and body. |
| Same key more than 7 days later | `409 idempotency_window_expired`. A key can never be reused for a different invoice. |

A replay returns the original response, not the invoice's current state. If the customer in that response is no longer visible to the connection, the replay is rejected with `403 operation_forbidden`; if the invoice has been deleted, with `410 resource_gone`.

Invoices have no `external_reference`, so keep the returned `data.id` with your own record. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/) for key scope, what counts as the same body, and how replays are authorized.

## Local creation and external synchronization

A `201` response means the draft invoice is saved in FieldTask. Nothing further is needed for it to exist, and follow-up work never removes it.

If your organization creates invoices in a connected CRM, FieldTask also sends the new draft there after it's saved. That follow-up only creates the record in the connected CRM. It doesn't send the invoice to the customer, record a payment or attach files. Its progress is reported on the operation, not on the invoice.

To check it, read the `Operation-Location` URL from the `201` response with the same credential. It needs `invoices:read` and `customers:read`, which the create already requires:

```bash
curl "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/operations/OPERATION_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"
```

`data.local_status` is always `committed`. `data.integration.status` is `not_applicable` when your organization doesn't create invoices in a connected CRM. For the other values, see [Local creation and external synchronization](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#local-creation-and-external-synchronization).

FieldTask makes one attempt to create the invoice in the connected CRM:

- It's reported as `blocked` with `configuration_required` when an item uses a **fixed** tax. The connected CRM can't represent a fixed per-item tax, and FieldTask won't publish a lower total. Use percentage taxes if the invoice must be synchronized.
- It's reported as `blocked` with `reconciliation_required` when the invoice was changed in FieldTask or is no longer a draft before synchronization ran, the customer was removed, or the customer is linked to more than one contact in the connected CRM.
- It's reported as `failed` with `provider_unavailable` when a request to the connected CRM failed before the invoice was sent.
- It's reported as `outcome_unknown` when the request reached the connected CRM but FieldTask couldn't confirm the result. Check there before doing anything that could create a duplicate.

:::caution Pending confirmation
In the review contract, invoices created through the API aren't sent to a connected CRM. If your organization creates invoices in a connected CRM, the operation reports a `blocked` target with `configuration_required`. The invoice itself is still created.
:::

Never create another invoice under a new key to force synchronization. That creates a second invoice in FieldTask.

Operation results are kept for seven days. After that, `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}` returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the invoice wasn't created.

## Recovering from failures

| What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Timeout, connection error or `5xx` | Retry the same body with the same key, with exponential backoff. |
| `409 operation_in_progress` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `429` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `201` received | Store `data.id`, `data.invoice_number` and the `Location` and `Operation-Location` headers. Stop retrying. |
| Key older than 7 days, or the result expired | Don't create again yet. Look for the invoice with `GET /public/v1/invoices?customer_id=…&status=draft` or your saved invoice ID. |

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost. A new key means a new invoice.

## Errors

Errors use `application/problem+json`. The top-level `code` is the stable machine-readable value; `error` adds a readable message, a suggested fix and a documentation link:

```json
{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Unprocessable Entity",
  "status": 422,
  "code": "validation_failed",
  "detail": "The request contains invalid fields.",
  "instance": "urn:uuid:99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999993",
  "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999993",
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_failed",
    "message": "The request contains invalid fields.",
    "fix": "Check the documented request fields.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/"
  }
}
```

`error.code` usually equals `code`. For a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`. Validation errors don't say which field failed, and error responses never echo submitted values.

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The URL has a query string. Create requests accept none. | Send the request to `/public/v1/invoices` with no query parameters. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses `NaN`/`Infinity` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | `Idempotency-Key` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks one of the permissions this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection, then retry with the same key. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the request was processed, or a replay would return a customer the connection can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Invoicing isn't enabled for your organization, invoices aren't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check that your organization can use invoices in FieldTask, and that the path has no trailing slash. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Invoice creation isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Contact FieldTask if you expected invoice creation to be available. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used with a different body. | Resend the original body with this key, or use a new key for a different record. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | Reconcile using your saved invoice ID, or list the customer's draft invoices, before creating anything new. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | A replay of this key found that the invoice it created has since been deleted. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Reduce the body, for example by sending fewer line items. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | `Content-Type` isn't `application/json`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with `Content-Type: application/json`. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | A field is missing, unknown or invalid; the customer or a product isn't eligible; a price selection matches no option or more than one; an item is flagged with a tax the invoice doesn't define; a percentage discount is over 100; or your plan's invoice allowance for today is used up. | Check the request against the field guide, and send `price_id` for products with several prices. The response doesn't name the field. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds. Retry creates with the same key. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily API create allowance. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. The invoice may or may not have been created. | Retry with the same key and body, with exponential backoff. |

Every response, including errors, has an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it, with the time and the status code, when you contact support. Never send tokens or secrets.

## Limits

Invoice creates count against the same limits as other creates: per-minute and concurrency limits, and a daily create allowance that resets at 00:00 UTC, for both the organization and each connection. When you hit a limit you get `429` with a `Retry-After` header in seconds. Replaying an already-created invoice with its original key doesn't count as another create. See [Rate limits](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/rate-limits/).

Your FieldTask plan also applies. On the free plan, or without a plan, an organization can create one invoice per day in its own time zone, counting invoices created in FieldTask as well as through the API. A further create that day is rejected with `422 validation_failed`.

## Response headers

A successful create returns `201 Created` with these headers:

| Header | Always present | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Cache-Control` | Yes | Always `no-store` |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Yes | string |
| `Idempotency-Replayed` | Yes | string |
| `Location` | Yes | string |
| `Operation-Location` | Yes | string |
| `X-Request-ID` | Yes | uuid |

The server also returns the `Idempotency-Key` that was used, including one it generated.

# Add a job item

`POST /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items`

Required permissions: `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read`.

Adds one catalog product or service to an existing job as a line item, priced from the catalog.

You choose the product, one of its price options and a quantity. FieldTask copies the product's name, description and type and the option's price onto the job. The item keeps those values even if the catalog changes later. You can't set a custom name or price.

This endpoint only creates. It never matches or updates an existing item, so adding the same product twice gives the job two items. If you send the same body twice without the same `Idempotency-Key`, you get two items. See [Idempotency and safe retries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#idempotency-and-safe-retries).

To add items while you create a job, use the `items` field of [Create a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#line-items) instead. It follows the same rules.

:::info Preview
This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Job items work only where FieldTask has enabled them.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**. Until FieldTask enables it, every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
2. **A REST credential** with the permissions below: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.
3. **The ID of an existing job.** Find it with `GET /public/v1/jobs`, or use `data.id` from `POST /public/v1/jobs`.
4. **A product ID and, usually, a price ID** from `GET /public/v1/products`. The product must be available, and you may need to choose a price. See [Choosing a price](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#choosing-a-price).

### Permissions

Every request needs all of these permissions:

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `job_items:create` | Depends on `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read` |
| `job_items:read` | Depends on `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

No inputs need additional permissions.

Adding a permission to a connection doesn't happen automatically. An owner or admin edits it in **Settings → API connections**. API tokens keep the same token string when their permissions change. OAuth integrations must also request the new scope when they get an access token.

## Parameters

- `job_id` (path, required, string)
- `Idempotency-Key` (header, optional, string)

## Request body (JSON Schema)

## Field guide

The job is identified by `job_id` in the URL. It must be a job in your organization that hasn't been deleted.

The request body is a single JSON object. Only `product_id` is required.

| Field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `product_id` | Yes | ID of a product or service from `GET /public/v1/products`. It must be approved in your catalog and have `is_available: true`. |
| `price_id` | Sometimes | ID of one of the product's named price options. Required when the product has more than one eligible option. See [Choosing a price](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#choosing-a-price). |
| `price_source` | No | `price` or `legacy`. Send `legacy` to charge the product's legacy unit price. |
| `quantity` | No | Decimal string, such as `"1"`, `"2.5"` or `"2.50"`. Defaults to `"1.00"`. See [Quantity](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#quantity). |

Anything else in the body is rejected with `422 validation_failed`, including fields you might expect to set such as `name`, `unit_price`, `status` or `allow_evidences`.

### Body and header rules

- Send `Content-Type: application/json` with an uncompressed body. A `Content-Encoding` header is rejected with `415`.
- The body can be at most 256 KiB and nest at most 10 levels deep.
- Duplicate property names, `NaN` and `Infinity` are rejected with `400 invalid_json`.
- The URL must have no query string and no trailing slash.

## Choosing a price

FieldTask never picks a price for you. The request must identify exactly one of the product's eligible price options.

A product's **eligible options** are the entries in its `prices` array whose `currency` is your organization's currency. That includes the legacy unit price (`source: "legacy"`), which is listed only when it's greater than zero, and every named option (`source: "price"`), including `recurring` ones and zero-price ones.

FieldTask narrows the eligible options by what you send:

- `price_id` keeps only the named option with that ID. Send it exactly as returned by the products endpoint.
- `price_source` keeps only options with that `source`.

If exactly one option is left, it's used. If none or more than one is left, the request is rejected with `422 validation_failed`.

| The product's eligible options | What to send |
| --- | --- |
| One option of any kind | Nothing. You can still send its `price_id` or `price_source`. |
| Several named options | The chosen option's `price_id`. |
| The legacy price and one named option | `price_source: "legacy"` for the legacy price; `price_id` or `price_source: "price"` for the named option. |
| The legacy price and several named options | `price_source: "legacy"` for the legacy price; `price_id` for a named option. |
| None (empty `prices`, or only other currencies) | The product can't be added through the API. |

When several options have the same amount, they're still different options. Choose by name and send the matching `price_id`; don't pick one because the amounts agree. If you're acting for a person, ask them which option they want.

A `recurring` option is charged once as the item's unit price. It doesn't create a subscription or a recurring job.

## Quantity

- `quantity` is a string, not a JSON number.
- Up to 8 digits before the decimal point and up to 2 after: `"1"`, `"2.5"` and `"99999999.99"` are valid.
- No sign, no exponent and no leading zeros: `"-1"`, `"1e2"` and `"01"` are rejected.
- `"0"` is accepted.
- Responses always show two decimal places: `"1"` comes back as `"1.00"`.

## What's saved on the job

The `201` response returns the new item as [Get a job item](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job-item/) would:

| Item field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `name`, `description`, `item_type` | Copied from the product. |
| `price_name` | The chosen option's `name`; `null` for the legacy price. |
| `unit_price` | The chosen option's `amount`. |
| `quantity` | Your quantity, with two decimal places. |
| `amount` | `quantity` × `unit_price` exactly, with four decimal places, such as `"185.0000"`. |
| `currency` | Your organization's currency. |
| `status` | `to do`. |
| `allow_evidences` | `false`. |

The item doesn't keep a link to the product or price. Later changes to the catalog, including price changes or deleting the product, don't change existing items.

### Effect on the job

- The job's `job_value` increases by the item's `amount`. Read it with [Get a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job/).
- The API doesn't check the job's status. You can add items to a job in any status, including `completed` and `cancelled`. Check `status` first if your workflow shouldn't change finished jobs.
- Quotes and invoices keep their own line items. Adding a job item doesn't change any quote or invoice.
- Changes to `job_value` aren't covered by the job's `revision`, and job items have no events. The [event feed and webhooks](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/) don't report added items.

## Idempotency and safe retries

Send an `Idempotency-Key` header with every create, and reuse the same key and body when you retry after a timeout, a connection error, a `5xx`, `409 operation_in_progress` or `429`. A replay within seven days returns the original item with `Idempotency-Replayed: true` and adds nothing.

The full rules, including key format, scoping and the seven-day window, are in [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/). Two points are specific to job items:

- **The job is part of the request.** Sending the same key and body to a different job's URL returns `409 idempotency_key_reused`.
- **Removed items aren't replayed.** If the item or its job has since been deleted, replaying the key returns `410 resource_gone`.

Job items have no external reference, so the key is your only protection against duplicates. Save it with your own record before you send.

## Local creation and external synchronization

A `201` response means the item is saved on the job. Adding a job item doesn't queue any follow-up work: the operation at `Operation-Location` always reports `integration.status: "not_applicable"`. Reading it needs `job_items:read` and `jobs:read`. See [Get an operation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-operation/).

Operation results are kept for seven days. After that, `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}` returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the item wasn't added.

## Recovering from failures

| What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Timeout, connection error or `5xx` | Retry the same body with the same key, with exponential backoff. |
| `409 operation_in_progress` or `429` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `201` received | Store `data.id` and the `Location` and `Operation-Location` headers. Stop retrying. |
| `422 validation_failed` | Read the product again with `GET /public/v1/products/{id}`. Check that it's available and choose a price as described above. |
| Key older than 7 days, or the result expired | Don't add the item again yet. List the job's items with `GET /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items` and compare. |

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost. A new key means a new item.

## Errors

Errors use `application/problem+json`. The top-level `code` is the stable machine-readable value. For a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`. Validation errors don't say which field failed, and error responses never echo submitted values. See [Errors](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/).

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The URL has a query string. Create requests accept none. | Send the request to `/public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items` with no query parameters. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses `NaN`/`Infinity` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | `Idempotency-Key` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `jobs:read` or `products:read`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection, then retry with the same key. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the request was processed, product details aren't readable in this environment, or a replay would return fields the connection can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | No job with this ID exists in your organization, the job has been deleted, job item creation isn't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the job ID with `GET /public/v1/jobs`, and check the API origin and path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Job item creation isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Contact FieldTask if you expected job item creation to be available. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used with a different body or for a different job. | Resend the original body to the original job with this key, or use a new key for a different item. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | List the job's items with `GET /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items` before adding anything new. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | This key added an item that has since been removed, or whose job has been deleted. | Don't add it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Send only the documented fields. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | `Content-Type` isn't `application/json`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with `Content-Type: application/json`. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | A field is missing, unknown or invalid; the product doesn't exist, isn't approved or isn't available; or `price_id` and `price_source` don't identify exactly one eligible price option. | Read the product with `GET /public/v1/products/{id}` and choose a price as described in [Choosing a price](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#choosing-a-price). The response doesn't name the field. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. The item may or may not have been added. | Retry with the same key and body, with exponential backoff. |

Every response, including errors, has an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it, with the time and the status code, when you contact support. Never send tokens or secrets.

## Limits

Adding a job item counts against the same per-minute, concurrency and daily create allowances as other creates. A replay with the original key doesn't use another create. See [Rate limits and quotas](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/rate-limits/).

## Response headers

A successful create returns `201 Created` with these headers:

| Header | Always present | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Cache-Control` | Yes | Always `no-store` |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Yes | string |
| `Idempotency-Replayed` | Yes | string |
| `Location` | Yes | string |
| `Operation-Location` | Yes | string |
| `X-Request-ID` | Yes | uuid |

`Location` is the item's path, `/public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items/{id}`. The server also returns the `Idempotency-Key` that was used, including one it generated.

# Create a job

`POST /public/v1/jobs`

Required permissions: `customers:read`, `jobs:create`, `jobs:read`.

Also needs `members:read` when `non_empty_assignee_member_ids`.

Also needs `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `products:read` when `non_empty_items`.

Also needs `customer_locations:read` when `non_null_location_id`.

Creates one field job for an existing customer in the organization your credential is connected to.

A job can be unscheduled or have a start and end time. You can also attach a customer location, assign members and add catalog line items in the same request; these are saved together with the job or not at all.

This endpoint only creates. It never matches or updates an existing job. If you send the same body twice without the same `Idempotency-Key`, you get two jobs. See [Idempotency and safe retries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#idempotency-and-safe-retries).

:::info Preview
This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Some optional inputs work only where FieldTask has enabled the feature.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**. Until FieldTask enables it, every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
2. **A REST credential** with the permissions below: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.
3. **The ID of an existing customer.** Find it with `GET /public/v1/customers`, or create the customer first with `POST /public/v1/customers`. Archived customers can be used.
4. **Optional references**, only if you use those fields: a location ID from `GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`, member IDs from `GET /public/v1/members`, and product and price IDs from `GET /public/v1/products`.

### Permissions

Every request needs all of these permissions:

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `jobs:create` | Depends on `customers:read`, `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

Some inputs need more:

| When | Additional permission | Including its dependencies |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `assignee_member_ids` is not empty | `members:read` | `members:read` |
| `items` is not empty | `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `products:read` | `job_items:create`, `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`, `products:read` |
| `location_id` is not null | `customer_locations:read` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |

Adding a permission to a connection doesn't happen automatically. An owner or admin edits it in **Settings → API connections**. API tokens keep the same token string when their permissions change. OAuth integrations must also request the new scope when they get an access token.

## Field guide

The request body is a single JSON object. Only `name` and `customer_id` are required.

| Field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | Yes | The job title. Spaces at either end are removed; what remains must be 1–512 characters with no control characters. |
| `customer_id` | Yes | ID of an active customer in this organization. Archived customers are accepted. |
| `description` | No | Up to 1,024 characters. Tabs and line breaks are allowed; other control characters aren't. Defaults to `null`. |
| `location_id` | No | ID of an active location that belongs to `customer_id`. Needs `customer_locations:read`. Defaults to `null`. |
| `schedule` | No | Leave unscheduled, or give a start and end time. See [Scheduling and time zones](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#scheduling-and-time-zones). Defaults to `{"mode": "unscheduled"}`. |
| `assignee_member_ids` | No | Up to 50 distinct member IDs from `GET /public/v1/members`. See [Assignees](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#assignees). Defaults to `[]`. |
| `items` | No | Up to 100 catalog line items saved with the job. See [Line items](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#line-items). |
| `external_reference` | No | Your system's identifier for this job. See [External references](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#external-references). |

Anything else in the body is rejected with `422 validation_failed`, including fields you might expect to set such as `status`, `job_number` or `organization_id`. The organization always comes from your credential.

### Body and header rules

- Send `Content-Type: application/json` with an uncompressed body. A `Content-Encoding` header is rejected with `415`.
- The body can be at most 256 KiB and nest at most 10 levels deep.
- Duplicate property names, `NaN` and `Infinity` are rejected with `400 invalid_json`.
- The URL must have no query string and no trailing slash.

## Scheduling and time zones

Omit `schedule`, or send `{"mode": "unscheduled"}`, to create an unscheduled job.

For a job with a time slot, send `"mode": "timed"` with `starts_at` and `ends_at`:

```json
"schedule": {
  "mode": "timed",
  "starts_at": "2026-11-10T09:00:00-05:00",
  "ends_at": "2026-11-10T11:30:00-05:00"
}
```

- Both times must be full timestamps with seconds and an explicit UTC offset, such as `-05:00`, or `Z`. Up to six fractional-second digits are accepted. Timestamps without an offset, and the offset `-00:00`, are rejected.
- `ends_at` must be later than `starts_at`, and the job can last at most 24 hours.
- The API doesn't accept time-zone names. Use the offset in effect at the job site on that date, including any daylight-saving change.
- Jobs may overlap, including jobs for the same assignee.
- Timed scheduling must be enabled by FieldTask. Where it isn't, a timed `schedule` is rejected with `422 validation_failed`.

A timed job is created with status `scheduled`; an unscheduled job with status `unscheduled`.

Responses always return times in UTC with a `Z` suffix, so `09:00:00-05:00` comes back as `14:00:00Z`. Compare instants, not strings. FieldTask uses your organization's time zone only to place the job on calendar days in the app; it doesn't change the times you send.

## Assignees

`assignee_member_ids` takes **member IDs**: the `id` values returned by `GET /public/v1/members`. They aren't user IDs, and the API never falls back to a user ID.

- Each ID must belong to an active member of this organization. An organization owner can be assigned only through their own member ID.
- IDs must be distinct; you can assign up to 50 members.
- A non-empty list needs `members:read`, and initial assignment must be enabled by FieldTask. Otherwise the request is rejected.
- Assignees can only be set when the job is created. The public API can't change them afterwards.

When the connection has `members:read`, the response includes `assignee_member_ids` and, where available, `assignees` summaries.

## Line items

Each entry in `items` adds a catalog product or service to the job, priced from the catalog when the job is created.

| Item field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `product_id` | Yes | ID of a product or service from `GET /public/v1/products`. |
| `price_id` | Sometimes | ID of one of the product's named prices. Required when more than one price option applies. |
| `price_source` | No | `price` or `legacy`. Send `legacy` to use the product's legacy unit price explicitly. |
| `quantity` | No | Decimal string with up to 8 whole digits and 2 decimal places, such as `"1"` or `"2.50"`. Defaults to `"1.00"`. |

- Items are saved together with the job. If any item is invalid, no job is created.
- A non-empty `items` array needs `job_items:create`, `job_items:read` and `products:read`, and job items must be enabled by FieldTask.
- The job's `job_value` is the sum of quantity × unit price over its items, as a decimal string whose number of decimal places isn't fixed. It isn't an amount paid.

## External references

`external_reference` stores your own system's identifier for the job, so you can find it again without keeping FieldTask IDs.

- It's 1–128 characters, can't be only whitespace and can't contain control characters.
- It's stored exactly as sent: case-sensitive and never trimmed.
- It's unique per organization and client application. A second job with the same reference is rejected with `409 external_reference_conflict`; the existing job isn't changed.
- It isn't returned in the job body. Look a job up with `GET /public/v1/jobs?external_reference=…`. That parameter can't be combined with any other.

An external reference is not an idempotency key. Use both: the reference identifies the record in your system, and the key makes one request safe to retry.

## Idempotency and safe retries

Networks fail after a request is sent. The `Idempotency-Key` header lets you retry without creating a duplicate job.

1. Before sending, generate a new key for the job, such as a UUID, and save it with your own record.
2. Send the request with that key.
3. If you get no response, a timeout or a `5xx`, send **the same body with the same key** again, with backoff.

How the server treats a key:

| Situation | Result |
| --- | --- |
| New key | The job is created. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: false`. |
| Same key, same body, within 7 days | The original result is returned again. No second job is created and it isn't counted against your daily create allowance. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: true`. |
| Same key, different body | `409 idempotency_key_reused`. Nothing is created. |
| Same key while the first request is still running | `409 operation_in_progress` with `Retry-After`. Retry with the same key and body. |
| Same key more than 7 days later | `409 idempotency_window_expired`. A key can never be reused for a different job. |

Details that matter:

- **Keys** are 16–128 printable ASCII characters.
- **"Same body"** means the same JSON value. Property order and whitespace don't matter, but leaving a field out is different from sending its default: a body without `description` doesn't match one with `"description": null`.
- **Keys are scoped** to the organization, the connection and the kind of request. Rotating a token within a connection keeps the scope. Sending the same key through a different connection is treated as a new request and creates another job.
- **Replays are authorized again.** If the connection has lost a permission since the first request, the replay is rejected rather than returned.
- **Without a key**, the server generates one and returns it in the `Idempotency-Key` response header. That only helps if you receive the response, so always send your own key.

## Local creation and external synchronization

A `201` response means the job is saved in FieldTask. Nothing further is needed for the job to exist, and later follow-up work never removes it.

Some work can run separately after the job is saved, such as geocoding the job's location address, or sending the job to an external system your organization has connected. Its progress is reported on the operation, not on the job.

To check it, read the `Operation-Location` URL from the `201` response with the same credential (needs `jobs:read`):

```bash
curl "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/operations/OPERATION_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"
```

`data.local_status` is always `committed`. `data.integration.status` summarizes the follow-up work:

| `integration.status` | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `not_applicable` | There's no follow-up work for this job. |
| `pending` | Follow-up work is queued or running. |
| `succeeded` | All follow-up work finished. |
| `partial` | Some follow-up work finished; the rest was blocked or failed. |
| `blocked` | Follow-up work can't run until something is configured or reconciled. |
| `failed` | Follow-up work failed. |
| `outcome_unknown` | FieldTask couldn't confirm whether follow-up work took effect. Check the external system before doing anything that could duplicate it. |

Each entry in `integration.targets` has its own `status` and, when it didn't succeed, an `error_code`: `provider_unavailable`, `authorization_required`, `invalid_upstream_data`, `reconciliation_required` or `configuration_required`. A target doesn't say what kind of work it is, so don't infer geocoding or CRM synchronization from its `id`.

:::caution Pending confirmation
In the review contract, jobs created through the API aren't sent to a connected CRM. If your organization has external job synchronization turned on, the operation reports a `blocked` target with `configuration_required`. The job itself is still created.
:::

Operation results are kept for seven days. After that, `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}` returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the job wasn't created.

## Recovering from failures

| What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Timeout, connection error or `5xx` | Retry the same body with the same key, with exponential backoff. |
| `409 operation_in_progress` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `429` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `201` received | Store `data.id` and the `Location` and `Operation-Location` headers. Stop retrying. |
| Key older than 7 days, or the result expired | Don't create again yet. Look for the job with `GET /public/v1/jobs?external_reference=…` or your saved job ID. |

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost. A new key means a new job.

## Errors

Errors use `application/problem+json`. The top-level `code` is the stable machine-readable value; `error` adds a readable message, a suggested fix and a documentation link:

```json
{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Unprocessable Entity",
  "status": 422,
  "code": "validation_failed",
  "detail": "The request contains invalid fields.",
  "instance": "urn:uuid:99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999993",
  "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999993",
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_failed",
    "message": "The request contains invalid fields.",
    "fix": "Check the documented request fields.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/"
  }
}
```

`error.code` usually equals `code`. For a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`. Validation errors don't say which field failed, and error responses never echo submitted values.

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The URL has a query string. Create requests accept none. | Send the request to `/public/v1/jobs` with no query parameters. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses `NaN`/`Infinity` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | `Idempotency-Key` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs, including permissions triggered by `location_id`, `assignee_member_ids` or `items`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection, then retry with the same key. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the request was being processed, or a replay would return fields the connection can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The public API or job creation isn't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the API origin and path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Job creation isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Contact FieldTask if you expected job creation to be available. |
| 409 | `external_reference_conflict` | Another job created through this client application already uses this `external_reference`. Nothing was updated. | Find the existing job with `GET /public/v1/jobs?external_reference=…`. Use a new reference only for a genuinely new job. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used with a different body. | Resend the original body with this key, or use a new key for a different job. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | Reconcile using your saved job ID or `external_reference` before creating anything new. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | You replayed an idempotency key, but the job it created has since been deleted. | Don't recreate the job automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Reduce the body, for example by sending fewer line items. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | `Content-Type` isn't `application/json`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with `Content-Type: application/json`. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | A field is missing, unknown or invalid; a referenced customer, location, member or product isn't eligible; or the input uses a capability that isn't enabled for your organization (such as timed scheduling). | Check the request against the field guide. The response doesn't name the field. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds. Retry creates with the same key. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily create allowance. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. The job may or may not have been created. | Retry with the same key and body, with exponential backoff. |

Every response, including errors, has an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it, with the time and the status code, when you contact support. Never send tokens or secrets.

## Limits

Requests are limited per minute and by concurrency, for both the organization and each connection, and both have a daily create allowance that resets at 00:00 UTC. FieldTask sets these limits per organization, and a connection can have a lower allowance than its organization. Owners and admins can see remaining allowances in **Settings → API connections**.

When you hit a limit you get `429` with a `Retry-After` header in seconds. Replaying an already-created job with its original key doesn't count as another create.

## Response headers

A successful create returns `201 Created` with these headers:

| Header | Always present | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Cache-Control` | Yes | Always `no-store` |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Yes | string |
| `Idempotency-Replayed` | Yes | `true` or `false` |
| `Location` | Yes | uri-reference |
| `Operation-Location` | Yes | uri-reference |
| `X-Request-ID` | Yes | uuid |

The server also returns the `Idempotency-Key` that was used, including one it generated.

# Invite a member

`POST /public/v1/member-invitations`

Required permissions: `members:read`, `members:invite`.

Invites one person, by email address, to join your organization as an ordinary member.

The request creates a **pending invitation**, not a member. After it's saved, FieldTask emails the person a link as separate follow-up work. They become a member only when they open that link, sign in with the invited address and accept. Until then they don't appear in [List members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/) and have no member ID.

This endpoint only creates. It never resends, replaces or changes an existing invitation, and it can't invite admins. To retry safely after a lost response, send the same body with the same `Idempotency-Key`. See [Idempotency and safe retries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#idempotency-and-safe-retries).

:::info Preview
This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Invitation creation works only where FieldTask has enabled it.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**. Until FieldTask enables it, every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
2. **A REST credential** with the permissions below: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.
3. **An eligible invitation sponsor.** The connection invites on behalf of an organization owner or admin, who must still hold that role. See [Invitation authority](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#invitation-authority).
4. **A plan that allows inviting members.** Solo plans can't invite members, and some plans limit how many invitations an organization can create. Either case returns `422 validation_failed`.

### Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |
| `members:invite` | Depends on `members:read` |

No inputs need additional permissions.

To check the outcome later with `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}`, the connection needs the same two permissions.

Adding a permission to a connection doesn't happen automatically. An owner or admin edits it in **Settings → API connections**. API tokens keep the same token string when their permissions change. OAuth integrations must also request the new scope when they get an access token.

## Parameters

- `Idempotency-Key` (header, optional, string)

## Invitation authority

Invitations are always sent on behalf of a person who is allowed to invite: the organization's owner or an active admin. The API calls this person the connection's **invitation sponsor**.

- For a REST connection, the sponsor is the owner or admin who created the connection with `members:invite`, or who most recently saved its permissions in **Settings → API connections**.
- The sponsor must stay eligible: their FieldTask account must be active and they must still be the owner or an admin. Their role is checked on every invitation request, not just when the connection was set up.
- If the sponsor is no longer eligible, every invitation request on the connection (create, list and get) returns `403 operation_forbidden`.
- To fix it, a current owner or admin edits the connection's permissions in **Settings → API connections** and saves. The person who saves becomes the sponsor.

Each invitation stays tied to the sponsor who was in place when it was created. It can be emailed and accepted only while that person is still the connection's sponsor and still eligible. If the sponsor changes, or loses their role, invitations that are still pending can no longer be accepted; invite those people again once the old invitations have expired or been cancelled.

Through MCP, the sponsor is the owner or admin who approved the AI client's connection. See [`fieldtask_create_member_invitation`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-member-invitation/).

## Field guide

The request body is a single JSON object. Only `email` is required.

| Field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `email` | Yes | One email address, up to 256 characters, with no spaces at either end. It's stored exactly as sent. |
| `role` | No | Only `member` is accepted. Defaults to `member`. Any other value, such as `admin`, is rejected. |

Anything else in the body is rejected with `422 validation_failed`, including fields such as `name`, `projects` or `organization_id`. The organization always comes from your credential.

About `email`:

- Comparisons are case-insensitive. `Jordan.Example@example.com` and `jordan.example@example.com` are the same recipient.
- If the address already has a **pending** invitation in your organization, the request is rejected with `422 validation_failed`. This includes invitations created in the FieldTask app. A new key never resends or replaces a pending invitation.
- FieldTask doesn't check whether the address belongs to an existing FieldTask account or member, and the response never reveals it.
- The response doesn't say which rule failed. Validation errors never echo the submitted address.

### Body and header rules

- Send `Content-Type: application/json` with an uncompressed body. A `Content-Encoding` header is rejected with `415`.
- The body can be at most 256 KiB and nest at most 10 levels deep.
- Duplicate property names, `NaN` and `Infinity` are rejected with `400 invalid_json`.
- The URL must have no query string and no trailing slash.

## What happens after you create an invitation

| Step | What happens | What you see |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1. Created | The invitation is saved with status `pending`. It expires seven days after `created_at`. | `201` with the invitation. `expires_at` is set. |
| 2. Emailed | FieldTask emails the recipient a link, as follow-up work after the request. | The operation's `integration` status. See [Email delivery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#email-delivery). |
| 3. Accepted | The recipient signs in with the invited address and accepts. They join as an ordinary member. | The invitation's `status` becomes `accepted`, and the person appears in [List members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/). |
| Or: expired | Nobody accepted before `expires_at`. The link stops working. | `status` becomes `expired`. |

A `201` response means the invitation exists. It doesn't mean the email was sent or that the person has joined. To follow the invitation, read it with [Get a member invitation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-member-invitation/) using `data.id` or the `Location` header.

The acceptance link is never returned by the API. It's only in the email.

## Email delivery

Sending the email is follow-up work reported on the operation, not on the invitation. Read the `Operation-Location` URL from the `201` response with the same credential:

```bash
curl "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/operations/OPERATION_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"
```

`data.local_status` is always `committed`: the invitation exists. Right after the create, `data.integration.status` is `pending` with one target for the email. That target's `status` and `error_code` tell you what happened:

| Target `status` | `error_code` | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `pending` | `null` | The email is queued, being sent, or waiting to be retried after a temporary mail-server problem. FieldTask retries those automatically. |
| `succeeded` | `null` | The mail server accepted the message. This isn't proof that it reached the inbox. |
| `failed` | `invalid_upstream_data` | The mail server refused the message, for example because the address doesn't exist. |
| `failed` | `provider_unavailable` | The mail server couldn't be reached after repeated attempts. |
| `blocked` | `configuration_required` | Invitation email isn't available in this environment. |
| `blocked` | `authorization_required` | When it was time to send, the invitation was no longer pending, or the connection or its sponsor was no longer allowed to invite. |
| `outcome_unknown` | `reconciliation_required` | FieldTask couldn't confirm whether the email was sent. It may have been. |

Delivery problems never remove the invitation. Once the invitation is accepted, more follow-up work for the new membership can appear on the same operation.

Operation results are kept for seven days, the same as the invitation's lifetime. After that, `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}` returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the invitation wasn't created.

### If the email doesn't arrive

1. Read the operation and check the email target.
2. If it's `pending`, wait and read it again later.
3. If it's `succeeded` or `outcome_unknown`, ask the recipient to check spam or junk folders, and check the `email` on the invitation for typos.
4. If it's `failed` with `invalid_upstream_data`, the address is probably wrong. Invite the correct address; that's a different recipient, so it isn't blocked by the first invitation.

**Don't create another invitation for the same address straight away.** While the first one is pending, a second one is rejected with `422 validation_failed`, and the API can't resend. FieldTask also limits how many invitations one address can receive per day. If you need to start over for the same address, have an owner or admin cancel the pending invitation in the FieldTask app, or wait until it has expired, then create a new one.

## Accepting an invitation

Acceptance happens in FieldTask, not through the API. The recipient:

1. Opens the link in the email before `expires_at`.
2. Signs in to FieldTask with an account whose **verified** email address matches the invitation. Someone without an account creates one and verifies the address first, then returns to the link.
3. Accepts. They join as an ordinary member, never as an admin.

Each link works once: after the invitation is accepted it can't be used again. Acceptance is refused when:

- the invitation has expired, been cancelled or already been accepted;
- the signed-in account's verified addresses don't include the invited address;
- the person was previously removed from the organization. An API invitation doesn't restore a removed member;
- the connection that created the invitation has been revoked or has lost `members:read` or `members:invite`, or the invitation's sponsor is no longer the connection's sponsor or no longer an owner or admin;
- the organization's plan doesn't allow another member.

If the invited address belongs to someone who is already an active member, accepting marks the invitation `accepted` and leaves their membership unchanged.

## What the API can't do

- Resend an invitation email, or extend an invitation.
- Cancel or revoke an invitation. Owners and admins do that in the FieldTask app.
- Accept an invitation on someone's behalf.
- Invite admins, change a member's role, or remove members.

## Idempotency and safe retries

Networks fail after a request is sent. The `Idempotency-Key` header lets you retry without creating a second invitation. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/) for the general rules.

1. Before sending, generate a new key for the invitation, such as a UUID, and save it with your own record.
2. Send the request with that key.
3. If you get no response, a timeout or a `5xx`, send **the same body with the same key** again, with backoff.

| Situation | Result |
| --- | --- |
| New key | The invitation is created. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: false`. |
| Same key, same body, within 7 days | The original response is returned again. No second invitation is created, no second email is sent, and it isn't counted against your allowances. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: true`. |
| Same key, different body | `409 idempotency_key_reused`. Nothing is created. |
| Same key while the first request is still running | `409 operation_in_progress` with `Retry-After`. Retry with the same key and body. |
| Same key more than 7 days later | `409 idempotency_window_expired`. A key can never be reused for a different invitation. |

Details that matter:

- **Keys** are 16–128 printable ASCII characters.
- **"Same body"** means the same JSON value. Property order and whitespace don't matter, but leaving out `role` is different from sending `"role": "member"`, and a different letter case in `email` is a different body.
- **A replay returns the original response**, so `data.status` is `pending` even if the invitation has since been accepted. Read the invitation for its current status.
- **Keys are scoped** to the organization, the connection and the kind of request. Sending the same key through a different connection is treated as a new request.
- **Replays are authorized again.** If the connection has lost a permission, or its sponsor is no longer eligible, the replay is rejected rather than returned. If the invitation was cancelled in the app, a replay returns `410 resource_gone`.
- **Without a key**, the server generates one and returns it in the `Idempotency-Key` response header. That only helps if you receive the response, so always send your own key.

## Limits

Invitations count against the organization's and the connection's daily create allowance, which resets at 00:00 UTC.

Invitations also have their own hourly and daily limits, per organization, per connection and per recipient address. Hourly windows start on the hour and daily windows at 00:00 UTC. FieldTask sets these limits.

When you hit a limit you get `429` with a `Retry-After` header in seconds: until the window resets for invitation limits, or until 00:00 UTC for the daily create allowance. Retry with the same key. Replaying an already-created invitation with its original key doesn't count again.

## Recovering from failures

| What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Timeout, connection error or `5xx` | Retry the same body with the same key, with exponential backoff. |
| `409 operation_in_progress` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `429` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `422 validation_failed` and you aren't sure whether an earlier attempt worked | List invitations newest first and look for the address before trying anything else. A pending invitation for it blocks a new one. |
| `403 operation_forbidden` | A current owner or admin re-saves the connection's permissions to become its sponsor, then retry with the same key. |
| `201` received | Store `data.id` and the `Location` and `Operation-Location` headers. Stop retrying. |
| Key older than 7 days, or the result expired | Don't create again yet. Look for the invitation with `GET /public/v1/member-invitations?ordering=-created_at`. |

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost.

## Errors

Errors use `application/problem+json`. The top-level `code` is the stable machine-readable value; `error` adds a readable message, a suggested fix and a documentation link:

```json
{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Unprocessable Entity",
  "status": 422,
  "code": "validation_failed",
  "detail": "The request contains invalid fields.",
  "instance": "urn:uuid:99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999993",
  "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999993",
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_failed",
    "message": "The request contains invalid fields.",
    "fix": "Check the documented request fields.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/"
  }
}
```

`error.code` usually equals `code`. For a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`. Validation errors don't say which rule failed, and error responses never echo submitted values.

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The URL has a query string. Create requests accept none. | Send the request to `/public/v1/member-invitations` with no query parameters. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses `NaN`/`Infinity` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | `Idempotency-Key` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `members:read` or `members:invite`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection, then retry with the same key. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection has no eligible invitation sponsor, its access changed while the request was being processed, or a replay was refused because the connection can no longer read the result. | A current owner or admin re-saves the connection's permissions in **Settings → API connections** to become the sponsor. Then retry with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Invitations or invitation creation aren't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the API origin and path (no trailing slash). Contact FieldTask if you expected invitation creation to be available. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Invitation reads are enabled but invitation creation isn't. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Contact FieldTask if you expected invitation creation to be available. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used with a different body. | Resend the original body with this key, or use a new key for a different invitation. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | Look for the invitation with `GET /public/v1/member-invitations?ordering=-created_at` before creating anything new. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | A replay found that the invitation created with this key no longer exists, for example because it was cancelled in the FieldTask app. | Don't create it again automatically. Check with an owner or admin whether it was cancelled on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Send only `email` and, optionally, `role`. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | `Content-Type` isn't `application/json`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with `Content-Type: application/json`. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | `email` is missing or invalid, `role` isn't `member`, the body has another field, the address already has a pending invitation, or the organization's plan doesn't allow more invitations. | Check the request against the field guide. If you may have invited this address already, list invitations before retrying. The response doesn't name the rule. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, too many concurrent requests, or an hourly or daily invitation limit for the organization, connection or recipient address was reached. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily create allowance. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. The invitation may or may not have been created. | Retry with the same key and body, with exponential backoff. |

Every response, including errors, has an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it, with the time and the status code, when you contact support. Never send tokens or secrets.

## Response headers

A successful create returns `201 Created` with these headers:

| Header | Always present | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Cache-Control` | Yes | Always `no-store` |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Yes | string |
| `Idempotency-Replayed` | Yes | string |
| `Location` | Yes | string |
| `Operation-Location` | Yes | string |
| `X-Request-ID` | Yes | uuid |

The server also returns the `Idempotency-Key` that was used, including one it generated.

# Create a product

`POST /public/v1/products`

Required permissions: `products:create`, `products:read`.

Creates one catalog product or service, with 1–20 one-time prices, in the organization your credential is connected to.

The product and all of its prices are saved together or not at all. The new product is ready to use straight away: it appears in [List products](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/), and you can add it to jobs with its price IDs.

This endpoint only creates. It never matches or updates an existing product, and it doesn't check whether a product with the same name already exists. If you send the same body twice without the same `Idempotency-Key`, you get two products. Search with `GET /public/v1/products?search=…` first if you're not sure. See [Idempotency and safe retries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-product/#idempotency-and-safe-retries).

:::info Preview
This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. Product creation works only where FieldTask has enabled it.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**. Until FieldTask enables it, every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
2. **A REST credential** with the permissions below: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.

No other records are needed. Prices are created with the product, so you don't send any IDs.

### Permissions

Every request needs all of these permissions:

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `products:create` | Depends on `products:read` |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

No inputs need additional permissions.

Adding a permission to a connection doesn't happen automatically. An owner or admin edits it in **Settings → API connections**. API tokens keep the same token string when their permissions change. OAuth integrations must also request the new scope when they get an access token.

## Parameters

- `Idempotency-Key` (header, optional, string)

## Field guide

The request body is a single JSON object. `name`, `item_type` and `prices` are required.

| Field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | Yes | The product or service name, 1–256 characters. It can't be only spaces. Spaces at either end are removed before saving. |
| `item_type` | Yes | `product`, `service` or `other`. |
| `prices` | Yes | 1–20 price options. See [Prices](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-product/#prices). |
| `description` | No | Up to 4,096 characters, saved exactly as sent. Omit it to leave the description empty (`null`); sending `null` is rejected. |
| `is_available` | No | `true` or `false`. Defaults to `true`. Products with `is_available: false` stay in the catalog but can't be added to jobs through the API. |

Anything else in the body is rejected with `422 validation_failed`, including fields such as `id`, `unit_price`, `organization_id`, images or stock levels. The organization always comes from your credential.

### Prices

Each entry in `prices` becomes one named price option with its own ID.

| Price field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | Yes | The option's label, such as `Standard` or `After hours`, 1–256 characters. It can't be only spaces. Spaces at either end are removed. |
| `amount` | Yes | A decimal string. See [Amounts and currency](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-product/#amounts-and-currency). |
| `currency` | No | Three uppercase letters, such as `USD`. Defaults to your organization's currency. |
| `price_type` | No | Only `one_time` is accepted, and it's the default. You can't create recurring prices. |

- Give each option a name your users will recognize. When a product has more than one price, anyone adding it to a job has to choose one by ID, and an AI client asks the user to choose by name.
- You can't add, change or remove prices later through the API. Plan the full set of options in this request.

### Amounts and currency

`amount` is a string, not a JSON number, so amounts are never rounded in transit.

- Up to 13 digits before the decimal point and up to 2 after: `"0"`, `"185"`, `"185.5"` and `"185.50"` are all valid.
- No sign, no exponent, no thousands separators and no leading zeros: `"-5"`, `"1e3"`, `"1,250.00"` and `"0185"` are rejected.
- `"0"` is accepted and creates a zero-price option.
- Responses always show two decimal places: `"185"` comes back as `"185.00"`.

FieldTask stores the currency you send, or your organization's currency if you omit it, and never converts amounts. Only prices in your organization's currency can be added to jobs through the API, so leave `currency` out unless you have a reason to set it.

### Body and header rules

- Send `Content-Type: application/json` with an uncompressed body. A `Content-Encoding` header is rejected with `415`.
- The body can be at most 256 KiB and nest at most 10 levels deep.
- Duplicate property names, `NaN` and `Infinity` are rejected with `400 invalid_json`.
- The URL must have no query string and no trailing slash.

## The created product

The `201` response returns the product as [Get a product](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-product/) would:

- `prices` lists every option with its new `id`, `source: "price"` and `currency_source: "price"`. Options are listed newest first, so they can come back in a different order from your request. Match them by `name`.
- Products created through the API have no legacy unit price, so there's no `source: "legacy"` option.
- The product is approved in your catalog immediately. Products that reach FieldTask in other ways may need approval before the API shows them.

To add it to a job, use [Add a job item](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/) or the `items` field of [Create a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/) with the product's `id` and the `id` of the price to charge.

## Idempotency and safe retries

Send an `Idempotency-Key` header with every create, and reuse the same key and body when you retry after a timeout, a connection error, a `5xx`, `409 operation_in_progress` or `429`. A replay within seven days returns the original product with `Idempotency-Replayed: true` and creates nothing. A key is tied to this kind of request, so the same key on [Create a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/) is a separate request.

The full rules, including key format, scoping and the seven-day window, are in [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/).

If the product has since been deleted or is no longer approved in the catalog, replaying its key returns `410 resource_gone` instead of the original result.

## Local creation and external synchronization

A `201` response means the product and its prices are saved in FieldTask and can be used straight away. Nothing further is needed, and later follow-up work never removes them.

If your organization has a connected CRM set up to receive products created in FieldTask, the product is also queued for external synchronization. That work runs separately and is reported on the operation, not on the product. Read the `Operation-Location` URL from the `201` response with the same credential (needs `products:read`):

```bash
curl "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/operations/OPERATION_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"
```

- Without a connected CRM receiving products, `data.integration.status` is `not_applicable`.
- With one, the operation has a target for the product. Once the product has been sent, a further target is added for each price, so `integration.targets` can grow between reads.
- Synchronization is attempted once. If its outcome can't be confirmed, the target reports `outcome_unknown` with `reconciliation_required` and isn't retried automatically. Check the connected CRM before doing anything else; creating the product again in FieldTask creates a second product.

See [Get an operation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-operation/#reading-the-result) for every status and error code.

:::caution Pending confirmation
In the review contract, FieldTask hasn't enabled product synchronization. If your organization's connected CRM is set to receive products, the operation reports a `blocked` target with `configuration_required`. The product itself is still created.
:::

Operation results are kept for seven days. After that, `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}` returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the product wasn't created.

## Recovering from failures

| What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Timeout, connection error or `5xx` | Retry the same body with the same key, with exponential backoff. |
| `409 operation_in_progress` or `429` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `201` received | Store `data.id`, each price `id`, and the `Location` and `Operation-Location` headers. Stop retrying. |
| Key older than 7 days, or the result expired | Don't create again yet. Search with `GET /public/v1/products?search=…` for a product with the same name. |

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost. A new key means a new product.

## Errors

Errors use `application/problem+json`. The top-level `code` is the stable machine-readable value. For a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`. Validation errors don't say which field failed, and error responses never echo submitted values. See [Errors](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/errors/).

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The URL has a query string. Create requests accept none. | Send the request to `/public/v1/products` with no query parameters. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses `NaN`/`Infinity` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | `Idempotency-Key` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `products:create` or `products:read`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection, then retry with the same key. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the request was processed, or the result would include data the connection can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry. Retry creates with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Product creation isn't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the API origin and path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Product creation isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Contact FieldTask if you expected product creation to be available. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used to create a product with a different body. | Resend the original body with this key, or use a new key for a different product. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | Search with `GET /public/v1/products?search=…` before creating anything new. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | This key created a product that has since been deleted or is no longer approved in the catalog. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Shorten the description or price names. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | `Content-Type` isn't `application/json`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with `Content-Type: application/json`. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | A required field is missing; a field is unknown; a name is empty or only spaces; `item_type` isn't `product`, `service` or `other`; `prices` has fewer than 1 or more than 20 entries; or an amount, currency or `price_type` isn't valid. | Check the request against the field guide. The response doesn't name the field. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. The product may or may not have been created. | Retry with the same key and body, with exponential backoff. |

Every response, including errors, has an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it, with the time and the status code, when you contact support. Never send tokens or secrets.

## Limits

Product creates count against the same per-minute, concurrency and daily create allowances as other creates. A replay with the original key doesn't use another create. See [Rate limits and quotas](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/rate-limits/).

## Response headers

A successful create returns `201 Created` with these headers:

| Header | Always present | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Cache-Control` | Yes | Always `no-store` |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Yes | string |
| `Idempotency-Replayed` | Yes | string |
| `Location` | Yes | string |
| `Operation-Location` | Yes | string |
| `X-Request-ID` | Yes | uuid |

`Location` is the product's path, `/public/v1/products/{id}`. The server also returns the `Idempotency-Key` that was used, including one it generated.

# Create a draft quote

`POST /public/v1/quotes`

Required permissions: `quotes:create`, `quotes:read`, `customers:read`, `products:read`.

Also needs `customer_locations:read` when `non_null_location_id`.

Creates one **draft** quote for an existing customer, priced from your product and service catalog.

A draft quote is only saved in FieldTask. Creating it doesn't send anything to the customer, doesn't ask them to accept it, and doesn't create a job or an invoice. The quote stays a draft until someone in your organization sends it from FieldTask.

The quote and all of its line items are saved together or not at all. This endpoint only creates: it never matches or updates an existing quote. If you send the same body twice without the same `Idempotency-Key`, you get two quotes. See [Idempotency and safe retries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#idempotency-and-safe-retries).

:::info Preview
This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**. Until FieldTask enables it, every request returns `403 api_access_not_enabled`.
2. **Quotes available for your organization.** FieldTask makes Quotes available organization by organization, and your organization must not have switched Quotes off. Your organization's currency must also use no more than two decimal places. If any of these isn't true, every quote request returns `404 resource_not_found`.
3. **A REST credential** with the permissions below: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.
4. **The ID of an existing customer.** Find it with `GET /public/v1/customers`, or create the customer first with `POST /public/v1/customers`. Archived customers can be used.
5. **The product and price IDs for every line item.** Find them with `GET /public/v1/products`. Each line item is priced from the catalog; you can't send your own prices.
6. **Optionally, a location ID** from `GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`, if the quote is for a particular site.

### Permissions

Every request needs all of these permissions:

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `quotes:create` | Depends on `customers:read`, `products:read`, `quotes:read` |
| `quotes:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

Some inputs need more:

| When | Additional permission | Including its dependencies |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `location_id` is not null | `customer_locations:read` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |

Without `customer_locations:read`, a request that includes `location_id` is rejected with `403 insufficient_scope`.

REST connections can't apply a discount to a quote. See [Discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#discounts).

Adding a permission to a connection doesn't happen automatically. An owner or admin edits it in **Settings → API connections**. API tokens keep the same token string when their permissions change. OAuth integrations must also request the new scope when they get an access token.

## Field guide

The request body is a single JSON object. Only `customer_id` and `items` are required.

| Field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | Yes | ID of a customer in this organization. Archived customers are accepted. |
| `items` | Yes | 1–100 catalog line items. See [Line items](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#line-items). |
| `title` | No | Up to 512 characters. Defaults to an empty string. |
| `location_id` | No | ID of an active location that belongs to `customer_id`. Needs `customer_locations:read`. Without it, the quote has no location. |
| `issue_date` | No | A calendar date such as `2026-11-03`. Defaults to the current date in UTC. See [Dates and time zones](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#dates-and-time-zones). |
| `expiry_at` | No | The time the quote stops being valid, as a timestamp with a UTC offset. Defaults to the creation time plus your organization's default quote validity period. |
| `tax_rate` | No | A percentage as a decimal string, such as `"8.25"` for 8.25%. From `0` to `999.99`, with up to 2 decimal places. Defaults to your organization's default quote tax rate. |
| `discount` | No | `{"type": "percent" or "fixed", "amount": "…"}`. REST connections can only send an amount of zero. See [Discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#discounts). |
| `terms` | No | Up to 8,192 characters. Defaults to your organization's default quote terms. |
| `customer_note` | No | A note for the customer, up to 4,096 characters. Defaults to `null`. |

Anything else in the body is rejected with `422 validation_failed`, including fields you might expect to set such as `status`, `quote_number`, `currency` or a custom unit price. The organization and the currency always come from your credential's organization.

Decimal values are JSON strings, never numbers. Send `"8.25"`, not `8.25`.

### Body and header rules

- Send `Content-Type: application/json` with an uncompressed body. A `Content-Encoding` header is rejected with `415`.
- The body can be at most 256 KiB and nest at most 10 levels deep.
- Duplicate property names, `NaN` and `Infinity` are rejected with `400 invalid_json`.
- The URL must have no query string and no trailing slash.

## Line items

Each entry in `items` adds one product or service from your catalog to the quote.

| Item field | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `product_id` | Yes | ID of a product or service from `GET /public/v1/products`. |
| `price_id` | Sometimes | ID of one of the product's named prices. Required when more than one price option applies. |
| `price_source` | No | `price` or `legacy`. Send `legacy` to use the product's legacy unit price explicitly. |
| `quantity` | No | A positive decimal string with up to 8 whole digits and 2 decimal places, such as `"1"` or `"2.50"`. Zero isn't allowed. Defaults to `"1.00"`. |

- The product must be active and available in your catalog. A product marked unavailable is rejected.
- Only prices in your organization's currency are considered. If no price option matches your selection, or more than one does, the request is rejected with `422 validation_failed` rather than FieldTask choosing one for you. Send `price_id` whenever a product has more than one price.
- The item's name, description and unit price are copied from the catalog when the quote is created. Later catalog changes don't change the quote.
- Every item created through the API is a catalog item. You can't add custom-priced lines or text-only lines through the API.
- If any item is invalid, no quote is created.

## Totals, taxes and discounts

FieldTask calculates the quote's totals; you can't send them. The calculation is:

1. Each line amount is quantity × unit price.
2. `subtotal` is the sum of the line amounts.
3. `discount_amount` is a percentage of the subtotal, or a fixed amount. It's never less than zero or more than the subtotal.
4. `tax_amount` is `tax_rate` percent of the subtotal minus the discount.
5. `total` is the subtotal minus the discount plus the tax.

Each step is rounded to the currency's smallest unit, with halves rounded up: cents for currencies such as USD, whole units for currencies without decimals. For example, 8.25% of 370.00 is 30.525, which becomes `"30.53"`.

| Response field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `subtotal` | Sum of line amounts, before discount and tax. |
| `discount_type` | `percent`, `fixed`, or `null` when no discount was sent. |
| `discount_value` | The discount you sent: a percentage or an amount. `"0.00"` when none. |
| `discount_amount` | The discount in money, as applied. |
| `tax_rate` | The tax percentage used. |
| `tax_amount` | The tax in money. |
| `total` | The final quote total. |

All amounts are decimal strings with two decimal places in the quote's `currency`. Parse them as decimals, not floating-point numbers, and display the returned values rather than recalculating them. Invoices round differently; see [Create a draft invoice](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#totals-taxes-and-discounts).

### Discounts

Whether a request can apply a discount depends on who it acts for:

- **REST connections** (API tokens and OAuth client-credentials connections) act as the connection, not as a person, so they can't apply a discount. A `discount` with an amount other than zero is rejected with `403 operation_forbidden`, and nothing is created. Leave `discount` out, and add the discount in FieldTask before the quote is sent.
- **MCP connections** act for the owner or admin who approved them, so `fieldtask_create_quote` can apply a discount. See [fieldtask_create_quote](https://developer.fieldtask.io/mcp/tools/fieldtask-create-quote/).

## Dates and time zones

- `issue_date` is a calendar date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format, with no time or time zone. When you leave it out, FieldTask uses the current date in UTC, which can differ from your local date late in the day. Send it explicitly if the date matters.
- `expiry_at` is an instant. Send a full timestamp with seconds and an explicit UTC offset or `Z`, such as `2026-12-03T23:59:59-05:00`. A timestamp without an offset, or with the offset `-00:00`, is rejected with `422 validation_failed`. FieldTask stores and returns it in UTC with a `Z` suffix, so that value comes back as `2026-12-04T04:59:59Z`. Use the offset in effect for your customer on that date.

See [Dates and times](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/dates-and-times/) for the conventions every endpoint follows.

## The draft you get back

A successful create returns the quote with every field, including its items, terms and note:

- `status` is `draft`.
- `quote_number` is assigned by FieldTask from your organization's quote numbering. You can't choose it.
- `selected_revision` describes the version of the quote whose values are shown: for a new quote, revision `1` with `state` `draft` and no `sent_at` or `accepted_at`.
- `customer` and `location` summarize the customer and location. `location` is included only when the connection has `customer_locations:read`, and is `null` when the quote has no location.

Read the quote again later with `GET /public/v1/quotes/{id}`, using the ID from `data.id` or the `Location` header.

## Idempotency and safe retries

Networks fail after a request is sent. The `Idempotency-Key` header lets you retry without creating a duplicate quote.

1. Before sending, generate a new key for the quote, such as a UUID, and save it with your own record.
2. Send the request with that key.
3. If you get no response, a timeout or a `5xx`, send **the same body with the same key** again, with backoff.

| Situation | Result |
| --- | --- |
| New key | The quote is created. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: false`. |
| Same key, same body, within 7 days | The original result is returned again. No second quote is created. Response `201`, `Idempotency-Replayed: true`. |
| Same key, different body | `409 idempotency_key_reused`. Nothing is created. |
| Same key while the first request is still running | `409 operation_in_progress` with `Retry-After`. Retry with the same key and body. |
| Same key more than 7 days later | `409 idempotency_window_expired`. A key can never be reused for a different quote. |

A replay returns the original response, not the quote's current state. If the customer or location in that response is no longer visible to the connection, the replay is rejected with `403 operation_forbidden`; if the quote has been deleted, with `410 resource_gone`.

Quotes have no `external_reference`, so keep the returned `data.id` with your own record. See [Idempotency and recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/idempotency/) for key scope, what counts as the same body, and how replays are authorized.

## Local creation and external synchronization

A `201` response means the draft quote is saved in FieldTask. Nothing further is needed for it to exist, and follow-up work never removes it.

If your organization synchronizes quotes with a connected CRM, FieldTask also sends the new draft there after it's saved. That follow-up only creates the record in the connected CRM. It doesn't send the quote to the customer. Its progress is reported on the operation, not on the quote.

To check it, read the `Operation-Location` URL from the `201` response with the same credential. It needs `quotes:read` and `customers:read`, which the create already requires:

```bash
curl "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/operations/OPERATION_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN"
```

`data.local_status` is always `committed`. `data.integration.status` is `not_applicable` when your organization doesn't synchronize quotes. For the other values, see [Local creation and external synchronization](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#local-creation-and-external-synchronization).

The initial synchronization attempt is reported as `blocked` with `reconciliation_required` when:

- the quote has no location: send `location_id` if you want the quote synchronized;
- the quote was changed in FieldTask, or is no longer a draft, before synchronization ran;
- the customer or location was removed in the meantime.

It's reported as `outcome_unknown` when FieldTask couldn't confirm whether the connected CRM received the quote. Check there before doing anything that could create a duplicate.

:::caution The operation reports only the first synchronization attempt
For quotes, `integration.status` describes FieldTask's initial attempt to synchronize the new quote, not everything that happens to it afterwards. FieldTask's own quote synchronization can still send the quote to the connected CRM after that attempt was reported as `blocked`. A `blocked` status therefore doesn't mean the quote never reached the connected CRM.

Before you create or update the quote in the connected CRM yourself, check whether it's already there. The quote is always created in FieldTask, whatever the status.
:::

Operation results are kept for seven days. After that, `GET /public/v1/operations/{id}` returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the quote wasn't created.

## Recovering from failures

| What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Timeout, connection error or `5xx` | Retry the same body with the same key, with exponential backoff. |
| `409 operation_in_progress` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `429` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds and retry with the same key. |
| `201` received | Store `data.id`, `data.quote_number` and the `Location` and `Operation-Location` headers. Stop retrying. |
| Key older than 7 days, or the result expired | Don't create again yet. Look for the quote with `GET /public/v1/quotes?customer_id=…&status=draft` or your saved quote ID. |

Never switch to a new key just because a response was lost. A new key means a new quote.

## Errors

Errors use `application/problem+json`. The top-level `code` is the stable machine-readable value; `error` adds a readable message, a suggested fix and a documentation link:

```json
{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Unprocessable Entity",
  "status": 422,
  "code": "validation_failed",
  "detail": "The request contains invalid fields.",
  "instance": "urn:uuid:99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999993",
  "request_id": "99999999-9999-4999-8999-999999999993",
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_failed",
    "message": "The request contains invalid fields.",
    "fix": "Check the documented request fields.",
    "docs_url": "https://api.fieldtask.example/public/docs/"
  }
}
```

`error.code` usually equals `code`. For a missing permission, `code` is `insufficient_scope` and `error.code` is `missing_permission`. Validation errors don't say which field failed, and error responses never echo submitted values.

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The URL has a query string. Create requests accept none. | Send the request to `/public/v1/quotes` with no query parameters. |
| 400 | `invalid_json` | The body isn't one valid JSON value, repeats a property name, uses `NaN`/`Infinity` or nests deeper than 10 levels. | Send a single JSON object encoded as UTF-8. |
| 400 | `invalid_operation_key` | `Idempotency-Key` isn't 16–128 printable ASCII characters. | Use a UUID or another 16–128 character key without spaces at either end. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs, including `customer_locations:read` when the body has `location_id`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection, then retry with the same key. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The body has a `discount` with a nonzero amount, which REST connections can't apply; the connection's access changed while the request was processed; or a replay would return a customer or location the connection can no longer read. | Leave out `discount` and add it in FieldTask before sending the quote. Otherwise check the connection's permissions and retry with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Quotes aren't available for your organization or in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check that Quotes is available and switched on for your organization, and that the path has no trailing slash. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | Quote creation isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Contact FieldTask if you expected quote creation to be available. |
| 409 | `idempotency_key_reused` | This key was already used with a different body. | Resend the original body with this key, or use a new key for a different record. |
| 409 | `operation_in_progress` | A request with the same key is still being processed. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same key and body. |
| 409 | `idempotency_window_expired` | This key was used more than seven days ago. It can't be replayed or reused. This doesn't mean the original request failed. | Reconcile using your saved quote ID, or list the customer's draft quotes, before creating anything new. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | A replay of this key found that the quote it created has since been deleted. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 413 | `payload_too_large` | The body is larger than 256 KiB. | Reduce the body, for example by shortening `terms`. |
| 415 | `unsupported_media_type` | `Content-Type` isn't `application/json`, or the body is compressed. | Send an uncompressed body with `Content-Type: application/json`. |
| 422 | `validation_failed` | A field is missing, unknown or invalid; the customer, location or a product isn't eligible; a price selection matches no option or more than one; or a quantity is zero. | Check the request against the field guide, and send `price_id` for products with several prices. The response doesn't name the field. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds. Retry creates with the same key. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily create allowance. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. The quote may or may not have been created. | Retry with the same key and body, with exponential backoff. |

Every response, including errors, has an `X-Request-ID` header. Include it, with the time and the status code, when you contact support. Never send tokens or secrets.

## Limits

Quote creates count against the same limits as other creates: per-minute and concurrency limits, and a daily create allowance that resets at 00:00 UTC, for both the organization and each connection. When you hit a limit you get `429` with a `Retry-After` header in seconds. Replaying an already-created quote with its original key doesn't count as another create. See [Rate limits](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/rate-limits/).

## Response headers

A successful create returns `201 Created` with these headers:

| Header | Always present | Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Cache-Control` | Yes | Always `no-store` |
| `Idempotency-Key` | Yes | string |
| `Idempotency-Replayed` | Yes | string |
| `Location` | Yes | string |
| `Operation-Location` | Yes | string |
| `X-Request-ID` | Yes | uuid |

The server also returns the `Idempotency-Key` that was used, including one it generated.

# Get a customer location

`GET /public/v1/customer-locations/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read`.

Returns one customer location by its ID.

Locations have their own path, `/public/v1/customer-locations/{resource_id}`, so you don't need the customer's ID to read one. Use the `id` from [List customer locations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-locations/), from the `Location` header of a create response, from a job's `location_id`, or from an event.

The location must belong to a customer in the organization your credential is connected to; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist. A location that was deleted, or whose customer was deleted, also returns `404`.

Use this endpoint to see coordinates that FieldTask looked up after the location was created. The create response and its replays always show the values from the moment of creation.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_locations:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

The location has the same fields as in [List customer locations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-locations/#location-fields).

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

# Get a customer

`GET /public/v1/customers/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `customers:read`.

Returns one customer by its ID.

Use the `id` from a list, from the `Location` header of a create response, or from an event. The customer must belong to the organization your credential is connected to; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist.

Archived customers are returned, with `"is_archived": true`. A customer deleted in FieldTask returns `404`.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

The customer has the same fields as in [List customers](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customers/#customer-fields). To read the customer's service locations, use [List customer locations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-locations/).

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

## Responses

### 200 OK

Example: Customer with a primary address

```json
{
  "data": {
    "id": "11111111-1111-4111-8111-111111111111",

# Get an invoice

`GET /public/v1/invoices/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `customers:read`, `invoices:read`.

Returns one invoice by its ID, with its line items, taxes and discount.

Use the `id` from [List invoices](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-invoices/) or from the `Location` header of a create response. The invoice must belong to the organization your credential is connected to; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist or an invoice that has been deleted.

Reading an invoice never changes it. There's no endpoint to send an invoice, record a payment or collect money.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `invoices:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

Invoicing must be enabled for your organization. Otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`.

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

### 200 OK

## What's included

The invoice has every field from [List invoices](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-invoices/#invoice-fields), plus:

| Field | Meaning |

| `items` | The invoice's line items. |
| `tax1`, `tax2` | Each tax's `name`, `type` (`percent` or `fixed`), `percent_amount` and `fixed_amount`, or `null`. The amount that doesn't apply to the type is `"0.00"`. |
| `discount` | The discount's `type`, `percent_amount` and `fixed_amount`, or `null`. |

Each item has:

| Item field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `name`, `description`, `item_type` | As shown on the invoice. |
| `quantity`, `unit_price` | Decimal strings with two decimal places. |
| `amount` | Quantity × unit price, rounded to cents. |
| `tax1`, `tax2` | Whether each invoice tax applies to this item. |
| `tax1_amount`, `tax2_amount` | The item's tax. A fixed tax adds its full amount to each flagged item. |
| `taxed_amount` | `amount` plus both taxes. |
| `is_active` | `false` for an item that's kept on the invoice but marked inactive. Inactive items still count towards the totals, as they do in FieldTask. |

For the order of the calculation and the rounding rule, see [Totals, taxes and discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#totals-taxes-and-discounts).

An invoice can have at most 200 items in this response. An invoice with more returns `503 temporarily_unavailable` rather than a partial list.

Payment details, sending history and the invoice's `subject`, `po_number` and `notes` aren't returned.

## Errors

| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The invoice doesn't exist, has been deleted or belongs to another organization; invoicing isn't enabled for your organization or in this environment; or the URL is wrong. | Check the ID, that your organization can use invoices in FieldTask, and that the path has no trailing slash. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request, or the invoice has more than 200 items or saved values the API can't return. | Retry with exponential backoff. If it keeps failing for one invoice, open it in FieldTask and include the request ID when contacting support. |

# Get a job item

`GET /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`.

Returns one item on a job by its ID.

Use the `id` from [List job items](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-job-items/) or from the `Location` header of [Add a job item](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/). Send it under the job it belongs to. If the job or the item doesn't exist, has been deleted, belongs to another organization, or the item belongs to a different job, the response is `404 resource_not_found`.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `job_items:read` | Depends on `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

The item has the same fields as in [List job items](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-job-items/#item-fields). Its values were copied from the catalog when it was added and don't include a product or price ID. For the job's overall value, read `job_value` from [Get a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job/).

## Parameters

- `job_id` (path, required, string)
- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

## Responses

# Get a job

`GET /public/v1/jobs/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `jobs:read`.

Returns one job by its ID.

Use the `id` from a list, from the `Location` header of a create response, or from an event. The job must belong to the organization your credential is connected to; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

The job has the same fields as in [List jobs](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-jobs/#fields-that-depend-on-permissions): `customer`, `location`, `assignee_member_ids` and `assignees` are only included when the connection holds the matching read permissions.

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

# Get a member invitation

`GET /public/v1/member-invitations/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `members:invite`, `members:read`.

Returns one ordinary-member invitation by its ID.

Use the `id` from a create response (also in its `Location` header) or from [List member invitations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-member-invitations/). The invitation must belong to the organization your credential is connected to and be for an ordinary member; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist.

The most common use is checking whether someone has accepted: `status` changes from `pending` to `accepted`, or to `expired` once `expires_at` passes.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:invite` | Depends on `members:read` |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |

Like every invitation endpoint, this one acts on behalf of the connection's invitation sponsor, who must still be an owner or admin. See [Invitation authority](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#invitation-authority).

The invitation has the same fields as in [List member invitations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-member-invitations/#what-an-invitation-includes).

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

## Responses

### 200 OK

Example: Pending invitation

```json
{
  "data": {
    "id": "dddddddd-dddd-4ddd-8ddd-dddddddddddd",
    "email": "jordan.example@example.com",
    "role": "member",
    "status": "pending",
    "created_at": "2026-11-03T15:20:41.118Z",
    "expires_at": "2026-11-10T15:20:41.118Z"
  }
}
```

Example: Accepted invitation

```json
{
  "data": {
    "id": "dddddddd-dddd-4ddd-8ddd-dddddddddddd",
    "email": "jordan.example@example.com",
    "role": "member",

# Get a member

`GET /public/v1/members/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `members:read`.

Returns one active member of your organization by their member ID.

Use the `id` from [List members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/), from a job's `assignee_member_ids`, or from a member event. It's a membership ID, not a user account ID. The member must be active in the organization your credential is connected to; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |

The member has the same fields as in [List members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/#what-a-member-includes). There's no MCP tool for this endpoint: AI clients find members with `fieldtask_list_members`.

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

## Responses

### 200 OK

Example: Active member

```json
{
  "data": {
    "id": "33333333-3333-4333-8333-333333333333",

## Removed members

Once a person is removed from the organization or their account is deactivated, their member ID returns `404 resource_not_found`. If you keep member IDs, for example as job assignees in your own system, treat a `404` as "no longer an active member" rather than as an error in your request. Member events tell you when this happens; see [Event types](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/).

# Get an operation

`GET /public/v1/operations/{resource_id}`

Returns what happened to a create request: which record it created, and the status of any follow-up work that runs after the record is saved.

Every successful create returns an `Operation-Location` header pointing here. MCP create tools return the same ID as `operation_id`. Use this endpoint when you need to confirm a create after a timeout, or to check follow-up work such as geocoding a location address or synchronization with a connected system.

## Who can read an operation

Only the connection that made the create request can read its operation, and for MCP connections only the person who approved the connection. Any other caller gets `404 resource_not_found`.

## Permissions

This operation has no fixed permission requirement; see the conditions below.

The connection needs current read access to the kind of record the operation created:

| Created by | Permissions needed to read the operation |
| --- | --- |
| `customer.create` | `customers:read` |
| `customer_location.create` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |
| `invoice.create` | `customers:read`, `invoices:read` |
| `job.create` | `jobs:read` |
| `job_item.create` | `job_items:read`, `jobs:read` |
| `member_invitation.create` | `members:invite`, `members:read` |
| `product.create` | `products:read` |
| `quote.create` | `customers:read`, `quotes:read` |

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

## Responses

### 200 OK

## Reading the result

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `data.local_status` | Always `committed`: the record was saved in FieldTask. |
| `data.command` and `data.resource` | What was created, with its type and ID. Read the record itself through its own endpoint. |
| `data.http_status` | The status of the original create response, `201`. |
| `data.result_expires_at` | When this operation result stops being available, seven days after the create. |
| `data.integration` | Follow-up work that runs separately from the create. |

The follow-up work never changes or removes the saved record.

| `integration.status` | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `not_applicable` | There's no follow-up work. |
| `pending` | Follow-up work is queued or running. Read the operation again later. |
| `succeeded` | All follow-up work finished. |
| `partial` | Some follow-up work finished; the rest was blocked or failed. |
| `blocked` | Follow-up work can't run until something is configured or reconciled. |
| `failed` | Follow-up work failed. |
| `outcome_unknown` | FieldTask couldn't confirm whether follow-up work took effect. Check the other system before doing anything that could duplicate it. |

Each entry in `integration.targets` reports one piece of work, with its own `status` and, when it didn't succeed, an `error_code`:

| `error_code` | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `configuration_required` | The work needs configuration that isn't in place, for example address geocoding or a connected system's settings. |
| `authorization_required` | The connected system needs to be authorized again. |
| `provider_unavailable` | The other system couldn't be reached. |
| `invalid_upstream_data` | The other system returned data FieldTask couldn't use. |
| `reconciliation_required` | The records in FieldTask and the other system need to be matched manually. |

Reading an operation doesn't retry or repeat any follow-up work.

## After seven days

Operation results are kept for seven days. After `result_expires_at`, this endpoint returns `410 operation_result_expired`. That doesn't mean the create failed: the record still exists. Keep the record ID from the original create response for longer-term reconciliation.

## Errors

This endpoint accepts no query parameters.

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has an unknown, repeated or invalid parameter. | Send only the documented query parameters, each once. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection's access changed while the request was processed, or the result would include data the connection can no longer read. | Check the connection's permissions, then retry. Retry creates with the same key and body. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The record doesn't exist or isn't visible to this connection, the feature isn't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the ID, the API origin and the path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 410 | `resource_gone` | The record created by this operation no longer exists. | Don't create it again automatically. Check in FieldTask whether it was removed on purpose. |
| 410 | `operation_result_expired` | The operation result is older than seven days and is no longer kept. This doesn't mean the create failed. | Reconcile using the record ID you saved from the original response. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# Get a product

`GET /public/v1/products/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `products:read`.

Returns one product or service, with its price options, by its ID.

Use the `id` from [List products](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/) or from the `Location` header of a create response. The product must be approved in your organization's catalog; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist or a product that has been deleted. Unavailable products (`is_available: false`) are still returned.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

The product has the same fields as in [List products](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/#product-fields). See [Reading prices](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-products/#reading-prices) for how `prices` is built, and [Choosing a price](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#choosing-a-price) before adding the product to a job.

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

# Get a quote

`GET /public/v1/quotes/{resource_id}`

Required permissions: `customers:read`, `quotes:read`.

Returns one quote by its ID, with its line items, terms and customer note.

Use the `id` from [List quotes](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/) or from the `Location` header of a create response. The quote must belong to the organization your credential is connected to; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist or a quote that has been deleted.

Reading a quote never changes it. There's no endpoint to send, accept, decline or convert a quote.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `quotes:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

The `location` summary is only included when the connection also has `customer_locations:read`. Quotes must be available for your organization, as described in [List quotes](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/).

## Parameters

- `resource_id` (path, required, string)

## Responses

### 200 OK

## What's included

The quote has every field from [List quotes](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/#quote-fields), plus:

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `items` | The line items of the selected revision, in order. |
| `terms` | The quote's terms, or `null`. |
| `customer_note` | The note for the customer, or `null`. |

All of these come from the same revision as the amounts: the accepted revision if there is one, otherwise the current revision. A sent quote that someone is editing returns its new `draft` revision, so check `selected_revision.state` first. See [Which version the values come from](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-quotes/#which-version-the-values-come-from).

Each item has:

| Item field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `kind` | `catalog` for a product or service from the catalog, `custom` for a line with its own price, or `text` for a text-only line. Items created through the API are always `catalog`. |
| `item_type` | The catalog type, such as `service` or `product`, or `null`. |
| `name`, `description` | As shown on the quote. |
| `quantity`, `unit_price` | Decimal strings with two decimal places. |
| `amount` | Quantity × unit price, rounded to the currency's smallest unit. `null` for a `text` line. |

The quote totals are calculated from the items as described in [Totals, taxes and discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#totals-taxes-and-discounts).

A quote can have at most 200 items in this response. A quote with more returns `503 temporarily_unavailable` rather than a partial list.

## Errors

This endpoint accepts no query parameters.

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has an unknown, repeated or invalid parameter. | Send only the documented query parameters, each once. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The quote doesn't exist, has been deleted or belongs to another organization; Quotes aren't available for your organization or in this environment; or the URL is wrong. | Check the ID, that Quotes is available and switched on for your organization, and that the path has no trailing slash. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request, or the quote has more than 200 items or saved values the API can't return. | Retry with exponential backoff. If it keeps failing for one quote, open it in FieldTask and include the request ID when contacting support. |

# Get a member's timesheet totals

`GET /public/v1/timesheets/range`

Required permissions: `members:read`, `timesheets:read`.

Returns how long one member worked on each day of a date range, and the total, in seconds.

Give a member ID and a range of 1–31 calendar days. The response has one entry for every day in the range, including days with no recorded time, and a total for the range. Days are calendar days in your organization's time zone.

This is a read-only report. It has no approval status, pay rates or pay amounts, and it covers one member per request; there's no organization-wide total. To see the individual time entries behind the totals, use [List timesheet entries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-timesheet-entries/).

## Before you start

- **Timesheet reads enabled by FieldTask.** Where they aren't, this endpoint returns `404 resource_not_found`.
- **The member's ID.** Find it with [`GET /public/v1/members`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/). It's a membership ID, not a user account ID. Only active members can be reported on.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |
| `timesheets:read` | Depends on `members:read` |

## Parameters

- `member_id` (query, required, string): Resolve the person with fieldtask_list_members. Use their membership ID, not a global user ID. Ask about ambiguous names.
- `start_date` (query, required, string): First included organization-local date.
- `end_date` (query, required, string): Last included organization-local date; at most 31 days.

## Query parameters

All three parameters are required, and no others are accepted.

| Parameter | What to send |
| --- | --- |
| `member_id` | The member ID of an active member, from `GET /public/v1/members`. |
| `start_date` | The first day to include, as `YYYY-MM-DD`. |
| `end_date` | The last day to include, as `YYYY-MM-DD`. |

## Choosing dates

- Both dates are **included**, and the range must be 1–31 days long. `start_date=2026-11-01&end_date=2026-11-30` is 30 days; `start_date` and `end_date` on the same day is one day.
- `end_date` can't be before `start_date`. A range that's too long, a reversed range or a date that doesn't exist, such as `2026-02-30`, is rejected with `400 invalid_query`.
- Dates are calendar days in your organization's time zone, which the response returns as `timezone`. If the organization has no time zone set, UTC is used. You can't choose a different time zone.
- For longer periods, such as a quarter, make one request per period of up to 31 days and add the totals.

For weekly reports, use the organization's own week. The response's `week_starts_on` is the first day of the week configured for your organization, for example `monday`. Don't assume weeks start on Sunday. See [Dates and times](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/dates-and-times/).

## Reading the result

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `member` | The member's `id` and current `display_name`. |
| `start_date`, `end_date` | The range you asked for. |
| `timezone` | The time zone that defines each day, as an IANA name such as `America/New_York`. |
| `week_starts_on` | The organization's first day of the week. |
| `duration_unit` | Always `seconds`. |
| `days` | One entry per day from `start_date` to `end_date`, in date order. Each has a `date` and a `duration` in seconds. |
| `total_duration` | The sum of the `duration` values in `days`. |

A `duration` of `0` means no time was recorded for that day. To show hours, divide by 3,600: `30600` seconds is 8.5 hours.

If FieldTask can't compute the report, you get `503 temporarily_unavailable`. A successful response is never a partial report, and an error is never reported as zero hours. Retry with backoff.

## Totals or entries?

Use this endpoint whenever you need worked time. Don't add up the entries from [List timesheet entries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-timesheet-entries/) instead. Entries keep their full start and end times, even where they extend beyond the range, so their sum can differ from this report.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | A parameter is missing, repeated or unknown, a date isn't a valid `YYYY-MM-DD` date, `end_date` is before `start_date`, or the range is longer than 31 days. | Send `member_id`, `start_date` and `end_date` once each, for a range of 1–31 days. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `timesheets:read` or `members:read`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | `member_id` isn't the ID of an active member of your organization (for example a user account ID, or a removed member), or timesheet reads aren't enabled in this environment. | Look the person up with `GET /public/v1/members` and use their `id`. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't compute the report. No partial or zero result is returned in its place. | Retry with exponential backoff. |

# List events

`GET /public/v1/events`

Also needs `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` when `customer_locations`.

Also needs `customers:read` when `customers`.

Also needs `jobs:read` when `jobs`.

Also needs `members:read` when `members`.

Returns changes to customers, customer locations, jobs and members, in order, starting after a cursor you saved from an earlier response.

Use it to keep a copy of FieldTask records up to date by polling, instead of or as well as [webhooks](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/webhooks-or-polling/). Each event tells you which record changed and the names of the fields that changed. It doesn't include field values: read the current record with the matching list or get endpoint.

The feed covers only these four record families. Quotes, invoices, products and member invitations have no events.

:::info Preview
This page is generated from contract `2026-11-03-review.2`, a review export that hasn't been released. FieldTask enables the event feed separately from the rest of the API.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

1. **API access for your organization.** An owner or admin requests it in **Settings → API connections**.
2. **A REST credential**: an API token created in **Settings → API connections**, or an access token from an OAuth client-credentials connection. Tokens from an MCP sign-in don't work with the REST API.
3. **Change sync enabled for your organization.** FieldTask enables the feed, then enrolls your organization for each record family separately. Until then the feed returns `404 resource_not_found` (not enabled in this environment), `503 sync_unavailable` (organization not enrolled) or `403 insufficient_scope` (a family you asked for isn't enrolled). Ask FieldTask which families are enabled for your organization.
4. **Read permission for each family you want.** See the table below.

For a step-by-step polling design, see the [Event feed guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-feed/).

## Permissions

This operation has no fixed permission requirement; see the conditions below.

Each record family in `resources` needs its own read permission:

| When | Additional permission | Including its dependencies |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `resources` includes `customer_locations` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` | `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read` |
| `resources` includes `customers` | `customers:read` | `customers:read` |
| `resources` includes `jobs` | `jobs:read` | `jobs:read` |
| `resources` includes `members` | `members:read` | `members:read` |

If you leave out `resources`, you get every family that FieldTask has enabled, your organization is enrolled for and the connection can read. If there are none, the request fails with `403 insufficient_scope`.

Changing a connection's permissions, even adding an unrelated one, invalidates every cursor issued to it. See [Recovery](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-events/#recovery).

## Parameters

- `after` (query, required, string)
- `limit` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `resources` (query, optional, array): Distinct comma-separated resource types; omitted resolves to enrolled and granted resources.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `after` | Yes | `now` for your first request, then the `page.next_cursor` from your previous response. Up to 4,096 characters. URL-encode it. |
| `resources` | No | A comma-separated list of distinct families: `customers`, `customer_locations`, `jobs`, `members`. Order doesn't matter. Omit it to get every family available to the connection. |
| `limit` | No | The maximum number of events per page, from 1 to 100. Defaults to 25. |

Send the same `resources` with every cursor. A cursor only works with the selection it was issued for; any other selection returns `400 invalid_cursor`. You can change `limit` between requests.

We recommend always sending `resources`. A cursor issued without it is tied to the families that were available at that time, so if FieldTask later enrolls another family for your organization, the cursor stops working and you have to start again.

## How to poll

1. **Bootstrap.** Request `after=now`. The response has no events, and its `next_cursor` marks the current end of the feed. Save it.
2. **Backfill.** Read every record you need with the list endpoints, such as `GET /public/v1/customers` and `GET /public/v1/jobs`, and store each record's `revision`.
3. **Poll.** Request `after=` your saved cursor. Apply the events, then save the new `next_cursor`. Wait `page.retry_after_seconds` and repeat.

Take the cursor **before** you backfill. Changes made while you backfill then also appear in the feed, so nothing is missed. Some of those events describe changes your backfill already contains; `revision` lets you skip them.

The [Event feed guide](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-feed/) covers this loop, storage and recovery in more detail.

| `next_cursor` | The cursor to send as `after` next time. Every successful response has one, including `after=now` and pages with no events. Store the latest. |
| `has_more` | `true` if more events are already waiting after this cursor. |
| `retry_after_seconds` | How long to wait before your next request. It's short while `has_more` is `true` and longer once you've caught up. Use the value returned; don't hard-code it. |

A page can contain fewer events than `limit`, or none at all, while `has_more` is `true`. Events for families you didn't select, and updates to records that are no longer visible, are skipped, but the cursor still moves past them. Keep reading until `has_more` is `false`.

Every request counts against your organization's daily event-feed allowance, including `after=now` and empty pages. The allowance is separate from ordinary reads. Polling faster than `retry_after_seconds` uses it up without returning more data.

Cursors aren't consumed. If your process stops before it saves a new cursor, request the previous one again: you get the same events, so make sure applying an event twice is harmless.

## Events

Each event describes one change to one record:

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `event_id` | Unique ID of this event. Use it to ignore an event you've already applied. |
| `schema_version` | Always `1` in this version. |
| `event_type` | The family and kind of change, such as `job.updated`. See [Event types](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/). |
| `resource.type` | `customers`, `customer_locations`, `jobs` or `members`. |
| `resource.id` | ID of the record that changed. |
| `resource.revision` | The record's revision after this change. |
| `changed_fields` | Names of the fields that changed, limited to fields this connection can read. Values aren't included. |
| `tombstone` | `true` for `*.deleted` events. |
| `observed_at` | When FieldTask recorded the change, in UTC. |
| `published_at` | When the event was added to the feed, in UTC. |

Events are returned in the order FieldTask added them to the feed. That is close to, but not always exactly, the order the changes happened, so use `revision` rather than position to decide which state is newer.

### Revisions

A record's `revision` starts at 1 and increases with every recorded change. It's the same number as the `revision` field in that record's REST responses. Gaps between the revisions you see are normal.

- Ignore an event whose `revision` is less than or equal to the revision you've stored for that record.
- After reading the current record, store the `revision` from the read response, not from the event.

### Created, updated and deleted

- `*.created`: the record became visible through the API, either because it was created or because a deleted record was restored. `changed_fields` lists all of its fields.
- `*.updated`: one or more fields changed. Updates to a record that isn't visible when you read the page are skipped; you'll receive its `*.deleted` event instead.
- `*.deleted`: the record was deleted or is no longer visible through the API. `tombstone` is `true` and `changed_fields` is empty. Deleted events are always returned, so you can remove the record from your copy. A record can later be created again with a higher revision.

## Recovery

Two problems mean the cursor can never be used again. Both include `"resync_required": true`:

| Problem | Cause |
| --- | --- |
| `410 history_expired` | The cursor is more than 30 days old, or the changes after it are no longer kept. The feed keeps changes for 30 days. |
| `409 access_context_changed` | Since the cursor was issued, the connection's permissions changed, its access was otherwise changed, or FieldTask changed what the feed includes for your organization. |

Don't retry the same cursor. Instead:

1. Request `after=now` and keep the new cursor.
2. Backfill again from the list endpoints. Replace your local copy, including removing records that no longer appear.
3. Continue polling with the new cursor.

Other problems are recoverable without a resync:

- `400 invalid_cursor`: you sent a cursor that was modified, belongs to another connection or was issued for different `resources`. Send the right cursor with its own selection. If you've lost it, start again as above.
- `429`: wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same cursor.
- `503 sync_unavailable`: retry with backoff using the same cursor. If it continues, ask FieldTask to check that sync is enabled for your organization.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query has an unknown or repeated parameter, `after` is longer than 4,096 characters, `limit` isn't a whole number from 1 to 100, or `resources` names an unknown family or repeats one. | Send only `after`, `resources` and `limit`, each once. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | `after` is missing or empty, or the cursor was changed, belongs to another connection, or was issued for a different `resources` selection. | Send the cursor exactly as returned, with the same `resources` it was issued for. If you've lost it, start again with `after=now` and backfill. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | A family in `resources` isn't available to this connection: FieldTask hasn't enabled it, your organization isn't enrolled for it, or the connection lacks its read permissions. Without `resources`, no family is available. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Check the permissions in the table above, or remove the family from `resources`. Ask FieldTask whether the family is enabled for your organization. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | FieldTask hasn't enabled the event feed in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the API origin and the path `/public/v1/events` (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 409 | `access_context_changed` | The connection's permissions, enrollment or resource selection changed since this cursor was issued. `resync_required` is `true`. | Get a new cursor with `after=now`, then rebuild the affected local data from the list endpoints. |
| 410 | `history_expired` | The cursor points to changes older than the feed keeps. `resync_required` is `true`. | Get a new cursor with `after=now`, then rebuild your local data from the list endpoints. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily event-feed allowance. Every feed request counts, including `after=now` and empty pages. The allowance is separate from ordinary reads and resets at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds. Poll no faster than `page.retry_after_seconds`. |
| 503 | `sync_unavailable` | The feed can't be read right now, or change sync isn't set up for your organization or for a family you selected. | Retry with backoff using the same cursor. If it continues, ask FieldTask to confirm that sync is enabled for your organization. |

# List a customer's locations

`GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`

Required permissions: `customer_locations:read`, `customers:read`.

Returns one customer's service locations, oldest first by default, one page at a time.

Put the customer's ID in the path: `GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`. Locations of an archived customer are listed as usual. If the customer doesn't exist, belongs to another organization or was deleted in FieldTask, the response is `404 resource_not_found`. A customer with no locations returns an empty list.

Lists show current data, so a location created or changed while you page through may or may not appear. Deleted locations aren't included.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_locations:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

## Parameters

- `customer_id` (path, required, string)
- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.

## Filtering and pagination

The customer in the path is the only filter. There's no search by name or address, and locations can't be looked up by `external_reference`. To find a location, list the customer's locations and compare names and addresses.

- `page_size` sets the number of locations per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size and ordering. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter and the customer unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the query, customer and connection that produced them.

See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).

## Location fields

| Field | What it holds |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | The customer the location belongs to. |
| `name`, `address` | The location's label and street address. |
| `latitude`, `longitude` | The location's position, or both `null` when it isn't known. A location created without coordinates gets them once FieldTask has looked up the address, where that's enabled. |
| `radius` | The geofence radius around the location, in metres, whatever distance unit your organization displays. Older locations may have `null`. |
| `is_default` | Whether this is the customer's default location. At most one of a customer's locations is the default; a customer's first location becomes it. |
| `revision` | Included only where FieldTask has enabled change tracking for locations. |

FieldTask can also withhold a field everywhere until it's published for your environment. Only `id` is always present, so handle missing fields rather than failing.

A location's `address` is separate from the customer's `primary_address`. See [The customer's primary address](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-customer-location/#the-customers-primary-address).

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has an unknown, repeated or invalid parameter. `external_reference` isn't accepted here. | Send only `page_size`, `ordering` and `cursor`, each once. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The customer in the path doesn't exist, belongs to another organization or was deleted, or the URL is wrong. | Check the customer ID with `GET /public/v1/customers`, the API origin and the path. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# List customers

`GET /public/v1/customers`

Required permissions: `customers:read`.

Returns the customers in your organization, oldest first by default, one page at a time.

You can list every customer, or find the one customer you created with a given `external_reference`. Lists show current data, so a customer created or changed while you page through may or may not appear.

Archived customers are included, with `"is_archived": true`. Customers deleted in FieldTask aren't.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |

## Parameters

- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.
- `external_reference` (query, optional, string): Exclusive query mode: cannot be combined with any other query parameters. Returns zero or one current visible resource.

## Filtering

| Parameter | Returns |
| --- | --- |
| none | All customers, archived or not. |
| `external_reference` | The one customer created through your client application with that exact reference, or an empty list. It can't be combined with any other parameter, including `page_size`. |

`external_reference` is matched exactly: it's case-sensitive and never trimmed. It only finds customers created with that reference by the same client application; references set by other integrations aren't visible to you. If the customer has since been deleted, the list is empty. See [External references](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/external-references/).

There's no search by name, email or phone number. To find a customer by those, page through the list and compare in your own code. Keep FieldTask's `id` once you've found it.

## Pagination

- `page_size` sets the number of customers per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size and ordering. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the query and connection that produced them.

To change the ordering or page size, start again without a cursor. See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).

## Customer fields

| Field | What it holds |
| --- | --- |
| `name` | The customer's name. Names aren't unique. |
| `email`, `phone_number` | Contact details, or `null`. An email address belongs to at most one customer in the organization. |
| `color` | The customer's display color, such as `#336699`, or `null`. |
| `primary_address` | A single address shown on the customer record, or `null`. It's separate from the customer's [locations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-locations/). For a customer created through the API, it's set by the customer's first location. |
| `is_archived` | Whether the customer is archived. Archived customers can still be used for new jobs and locations. |
| `revision` | Included only where FieldTask has enabled change tracking for customers. |

FieldTask can also withhold a field everywhere until it's published for your environment. Only `id` is always present, so handle missing fields rather than failing.

`external_reference` isn't returned. Keep your own mapping from your reference to the FieldTask `id`.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has an unknown, repeated or invalid parameter, or `external_reference` is combined with another parameter. | Send only the documented query parameters, each once. Send `external_reference` on its own. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The record doesn't exist or isn't visible to this connection, the feature isn't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the ID, the API origin and the path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# List invoices

`GET /public/v1/invoices`

Required permissions: `customers:read`, `invoices:read`.

Returns the invoices in your organization, oldest first by default, one page at a time.

You can narrow the list by customer, status and issue date. Each invoice in the list has its totals, paid amount and balance but not its line items, taxes or discount; read one invoice with [Get an invoice](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-invoice/) for those. Lists show current data, so an invoice created or changed while you page through may or may not appear.

Reading invoices never changes them. There's no endpoint to send an invoice, record a payment or collect money.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `invoices:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

Invoicing must be enabled for your organization. Otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`.

## Parameters

- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.
- `customer_id` (query, optional, string)
- `status` (query, optional, string): unpaid means sent or partial; excludes draft, paid and void.
- `issued_from` (query, optional, string): Inclusive invoice issue date, not due/creation date.
- `issued_to` (query, optional, string): Inclusive invoice issue date.

## Filtering

All filters are optional and can be combined:

| Parameter | Returns |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | Only invoices for this customer. The ID must be a customer in your organization; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`. |
| `status` | Only invoices with this status: `draft`, `sent`, `paid`, `partial` or `void`, or `unpaid` for `sent` and `partial` together. |
| `issued_from` | Only invoices whose `issued_date` is on or after this date, such as `2026-10-01`. |
| `issued_to` | Only invoices whose `issued_date` is on or before this date. |

- `status` filters on the stored status, not on the balance. `unpaid` doesn't include drafts, paid or void invoices.
- `issued_from` and `issued_to` compare the **issue date**, not the due date or the date the invoice was created. Both are inclusive calendar dates in `YYYY-MM-DD` format, with no time zone. `issued_from` can't be later than `issued_to`.
- Send each parameter at most once. Any other parameter is rejected with `400 invalid_query`.

## Pagination

- `page_size` sets the number of invoices per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size, ordering and filters. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the query and connection that produced them.

To change a filter or the ordering, start again without a cursor. See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).

## Invoice fields

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `invoice_number` | The number FieldTask assigned. |
| `name` | The invoice's label, or `null`. |
| `status` | `draft`, `sent`, `partial` (partly paid), `paid` or `void`. `unknown` means a status this API version doesn't recognize; handle it rather than failing. |
| `customer` | The customer's ID, name and email, or `null` when the customer has been removed. |
| `issued_date`, `due_date` | Calendar dates with no time zone. `due_date` can be `null`. |
| `total_tax1`, `total_tax2` | The total of each tax over the invoice's items. |
| `total_amount` | The total **including tax, before the invoice discount**. |
| `discounted_amount` | The **final invoice total**, after the discount. |
| `paid_amount` | The sum of payments recorded in FieldTask. |
| `balance` | `discounted_amount` minus `paid_amount`. It can be negative. |

All amounts are decimal strings with two decimal places in `currency`, rounded half to even at each step. For how they're calculated, see [Totals, taxes and discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-invoice/#totals-taxes-and-discounts). The amounts include every item and payment stored on the invoice, matching what FieldTask shows.

`paid_amount` and `balance` reflect payments recorded in FieldTask. They aren't proof of payment in another system.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has an unknown or repeated parameter; `status`, `ordering` or `page_size` has a value that isn't allowed; a date isn't `YYYY-MM-DD`; or `issued_from` is later than `issued_to`. | Send only the documented parameters, each once, with dates as `YYYY-MM-DD`. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |

# List job items

`GET /public/v1/jobs/{job_id}/items`

Required permissions: `job_items:read`, `jobs:read`.

Returns the items on one job, oldest first by default, one page at a time.

Items include catalog products and services added to the job, and work steps added in the FieldTask app. Each item shows the values saved on the job: name, quantity, unit price, amount and status. Lists show current data, so an item added or changed while you page through may or may not appear.

The job must exist in your organization and not be deleted; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`. Jobs in any status can be listed.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `job_items:read` | Depends on `jobs:read` |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

## Parameters

- `job_id` (path, required, string)
- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.

## Responses

## Pagination

This endpoint has no filters.

- `page_size` sets the number of items per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size and ordering. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep the job and every other parameter unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the job, query and connection that produced them.

See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).

## Item fields

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `id`, `job_id` | The item's ID and the job it belongs to. |
| `name`, `description` | The item's name and description as saved on the job. Either can be `null`. |
| `item_type` | The item's type: `service`, `product` or `other`. Older items can have other values, so handle values you don't recognize. |
| `price_name` | The name of the price option chosen when the item was added. `null` for the legacy unit price, and for items not priced from a named option. |
| `quantity`, `unit_price` | Decimal strings with two decimal places, such as `"2.50"` and `"185.00"`. |
| `amount` | `quantity` × `unit_price`, exact, with four decimal places. |
| `currency` | Your organization's current currency. |
| `status` | The item's progress on the job: `to do`, `done` or `not done`. Older items can have other values, so handle values you don't recognize. |
| `allow_evidences` | Whether evidence collection is turned on for this item in the app. |
| `created_at`, `updated_at` | UTC timestamps. |

### Work steps and priced items

The list includes every item on the job, including work steps added in the FieldTask app. No field tells a work step from a priced item, and a `unit_price` of `"0.00"` doesn't mean an item is a work step. Use the values as they are rather than classifying them.

### Status

A new item starts as `to do`. Items currently use `to do`, `done` and `not done`. Handle any other value rather than failing.

### Saved values, not catalog links

Items don't include a product or price ID. Their name, description, type and unit price were copied from the catalog when the item was added, and later catalog changes don't affect them.

### Amounts and totals

`amount` is the exact product of `quantity` and `unit_price` with four decimal places: `"1.25"` × `"12.34"` is `"15.4250"`. The app may show line amounts rounded to two decimal places. Neither is an invoice total or an amount paid.

For the job's overall value, read `job_value` from [Get a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-job/). Don't add up item amounts instead: a page holds only some items, and `job_value` also counts items that are kept on the job but marked inactive, which this list doesn't return.

### Evidence

`allow_evidences` only reports whether evidence collection is turned on. Evidence itself, such as photos, audio recordings and notes, isn't available through the API.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | A parameter is unknown or repeated, or `page_size` or `ordering` is invalid. This endpoint has no filters. | Send only `page_size`, `ordering` and `cursor`, each once. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `job_items:read` or `jobs:read`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | No job with this ID exists in your organization, the job has been deleted, job item reads aren't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the job ID with `GET /public/v1/jobs`, and check the API origin and path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# List jobs

`GET /public/v1/jobs`

Required permissions: `jobs:read`.

Returns the jobs in your organization, oldest first by default, one page at a time.

You can list every job, the jobs scheduled on one day, or the single job that has a given `external_reference`. Lists show current data, so a job created or changed while you page through may or may not appear.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `jobs:read` | No dependencies |

Some fields are only included when the connection holds other read permissions too. See [Fields that depend on permissions](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-jobs/#fields-that-depend-on-permissions).

## Parameters

- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.
- `external_reference` (query, optional, string): Exclusive query mode: cannot be combined with any other query parameters. Returns zero or one current visible resource.
- `scheduled_date` (query, optional, string): Use 'today' or YYYY-MM-DD in the organization's timezone. Returns jobs whose stored start/end interval overlaps that day, including overnight and anytime jobs. Unscheduled jobs and missing/invalid intervals are excluded; recurrence is not expanded. Use this for daily reports instead of scanning job history. Keep unchanged across pages.

## Filtering

Use at most one filter:

| Parameter | Returns |
| --- | --- |
| none | All jobs, including unscheduled ones. |
| `scheduled_date` | Jobs whose time slot overlaps that calendar day in your organization's time zone. Send `today` or a date such as `2026-11-10`. |
| `external_reference` | The one job created through your client application with that exact reference, or an empty list. It can't be combined with any other parameter, including `page_size`. |

About `scheduled_date`:

- A job is included if any part of its time slot falls on that day, so an overnight job appears on both days.
- Unscheduled jobs aren't included. Recurring jobs aren't expanded into separate occurrences.
- The response's `page.schedule_filter` shows the date and time zone the server used, which is useful when you send `today`.

## Pagination

- `page_size` sets the number of jobs per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size, ordering and filter. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the query and connection that produced them.

To change the filter or ordering, start again without a cursor.

## Fields that depend on permissions

Each job always includes its own fields, such as `id`, `name`, `status`, `schedule` and `customer_id`. These fields need more:

| Field | Included when the connection also has |
| --- | --- |
| `customer` | `customers:read` |
| `location` | `customers:read` and `customer_locations:read` |
| `assignee_member_ids`, `assignees` | `members:read` |
| `revision` | No extra permission, but only where FieldTask has enabled change tracking for jobs |

FieldTask can also withhold a field everywhere until it's published for your environment, so treat any field not listed as required in the response schema as optional.

The `customer`, `location` and `assignees` summaries show those records' current names and contact details. Changes to them don't change the job's `revision`.

`job_value` is the current sum of quantity × unit price over the job's line items, as a decimal string in `currency`. It includes items that are kept on the job but marked inactive, as the job total in FieldTask does, so it can differ from the sum of the items that [List job items](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-job-items/) returns. The number of decimal places isn't fixed (for example `"0.00"` or `"185.0000"`), so parse it as a decimal rather than comparing strings. It isn't an amount paid.

## Job status

`status` is one of `unscheduled`, `scheduled`, `in_progress`, `completed`, `missed` or `cancelled`. `unknown` means the job has a status this API version doesn't recognize; handle it rather than failing.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has an unknown, repeated or invalid parameter. | Send only the documented query parameters, each once. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | The record doesn't exist or isn't visible to this connection, the feature isn't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the ID, the API origin and the path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# List member invitations

`GET /public/v1/member-invitations`

Required permissions: `members:invite`, `members:read`.

Returns the invitations for ordinary members of your organization, one page at a time, oldest first by default.

Use it to see who has been invited, whether they've joined, and when pending invitations expire. Invitations created in the FieldTask app are included as well as those created through the API. Invitations for admins aren't shown.

## Before you start

- **Invitation reads enabled by FieldTask.** Where they aren't, this endpoint returns `404 resource_not_found`.
- **An eligible invitation sponsor.** Invitation endpoints act on behalf of an organization owner or admin. If that person is no longer an owner or admin, every invitation request returns `403 operation_forbidden`. See [Invitation authority](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#invitation-authority).

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:invite` | Depends on `members:read` |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |

Reading invitations needs `members:invite` as well as `members:read`, because invitations contain the email addresses of people who aren't members yet.

## Parameters

- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.

## Responses

### 200 OK

Example: Newest invitations first

## What an invitation includes

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `id` | The invitation ID. It isn't a member ID: the person gets a member ID only after they accept. |
| `email` | The address the invitation was sent to, as it was entered. |
| `role` | Always `member`. Public invitations are only for ordinary members. |
| `status` | `pending`, `accepted`, `revoked` or `expired`. See below. |
| `created_at` | When the invitation was created, in UTC. |
| `expires_at` | When the invitation link stops working, in UTC. |

The invitation link itself is never returned. It's only in the email the recipient receives.

## Invitation status

Status is worked out when you read the invitation:

| `status` | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `pending` | Not accepted yet, and `expires_at` is in the future. |
| `accepted` | The recipient accepted the invitation and joined as a member. |
| `revoked` | The invitation was withdrawn. Its link no longer works. |
| `expired` | `expires_at` has passed without the invitation being accepted. |

A `pending` invitation becomes `expired` on its own once `expires_at` passes; nothing else has to happen.

Owners and admins can also cancel a pending invitation in the FieldTask app. A cancelled invitation is removed: it no longer appears in this list, and reading it returns `404 resource_not_found`.

Invitations created through the API expire seven days after they're created. Invitations created in the FieldTask app follow the app's own link validity, which can be shorter.

There are no invitation events. To follow an invitation, read it again with [Get a member invitation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-member-invitation/). Once it's `accepted`, look the person up in [List members](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/) to get their member ID.

## Pagination

- `page_size` sets the number of invitations per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size and ordering. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the query and connection that produced them.

There are no filters, for example by status or email. Filter the pages yourself. See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has a parameter other than `cursor`, `page_size` or `ordering`, repeats one, or has an invalid value. Invitations can't be filtered. | Send only `cursor`, `page_size` and `ordering`, each at most once. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `members:read` or `members:invite`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `operation_forbidden` | The connection has no eligible invitation sponsor: the owner or admin it acts for is no longer an owner or admin, or their account is inactive. | A current owner or admin edits the connection's permissions in **Settings → API connections**, which makes them the sponsor. See [Invitation authority](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-member-invitation/#invitation-authority). |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Invitation reads aren't enabled in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the API origin and path (no trailing slash). Contact FieldTask if you expected invitation reads to be available. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# List members

`GET /public/v1/members`

Required permissions: `members:read`.

Returns the active members of your organization, one page at a time, in the order their memberships were created.

Use it to find the member ID you need to assign someone to a job or to read their timesheets. Lists show current data, so a member who joins or leaves while you page through may or may not appear.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |

Member roster reads must be enabled by FieldTask. Where they aren't, this endpoint returns `404 resource_not_found`.

## Parameters

- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.

## What a member includes

A member is a person's membership in your organization. The API returns a deliberately small set of fields:

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `id` | The **member ID**: the ID of this person's membership in your organization. |
| `display_name` | The person's first and last name, separated by a space. |
| `designation` | The job title set for the member in FieldTask, up to 100 characters, or `null`. |
| `status` | Always `active`. See [Who is listed](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/#who-is-listed). |
| `revision` | A number that goes up when the member changes. Present only where FieldTask has enabled change tracking for members. |

Members don't include email addresses, roles, permissions or user account IDs. To see who has been invited but hasn't joined yet, use [List member invitations](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-member-invitations/).

### Member IDs aren't user IDs

`id` identifies a person's membership in this organization, not their FieldTask user account. Use it wherever the API asks for a member:

- `assignee_member_ids` when you [create a job](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job/#assignees);
- `member_id` when you read [timesheet totals](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-timesheet-range/) or [timesheet entries](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-timesheet-entries/).

The same ID appears as `assignee_member_ids` and `assignees[].member_id` on jobs. The API never accepts a user account ID in its place.

## Who is listed

Only current, active members are returned. A person who has been removed from the organization, or whose account is deactivated, no longer appears, and [Get a member](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-member/) returns `404` for their ID. That's why `status` is always `active`.

To match a person by name, compare `display_name`. Names aren't unique: if more than one member matches, ask the user which one they mean rather than picking one.

To keep a copy of the roster up to date without listing it repeatedly, use member events. See [Event types](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/) and [Webhooks or polling?](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/webhooks-or-polling/).

## Pagination

- `page_size` sets the number of members per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest membership first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size and ordering. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the query and connection that produced them.

This endpoint has no filters. See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has a parameter other than `cursor`, `page_size` or `ordering`, repeats one, or has an invalid value. Members can't be filtered. | Send only `cursor`, `page_size` and `ordering`, each at most once. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Member roster reads aren't enabled in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the API origin and path (no trailing slash). Contact FieldTask if you expected member reads to be available. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# List products

`GET /public/v1/products`

Required permissions: `products:read`.

Returns the products and services in your organization's catalog, with their price options, oldest first by default, one page at a time.

Use it to find the `id` of a product and of the price to charge before you add the product to a job, a quote or an invoice. You can search by name and filter by type and availability. Lists show current data, so a product created or changed while you page through may or may not appear.

Only products and services that are approved in your catalog are listed. Products created through the API are approved immediately; products that reach FieldTask in other ways may need approval in the app first.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `products:read` | No dependencies |

## Parameters

- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.
- `search` (query, optional, string): Case-insensitive match in product/service name.
- `item_type` (query, optional, string)
- `is_available` (query, optional, boolean)

## Filtering

All filters are optional, and you can combine them. A product is returned only if it matches every filter you send.

| Parameter | Returns |
| --- | --- |
| `search` | Products whose name contains this text, ignoring case. Spaces at either end are ignored; what remains must be 1–256 characters. Descriptions aren't searched. |
| `item_type` | Only `product`, `service` or `other` items. |
| `is_available` | `true` for products that can be added to jobs, `false` for those that can't. Omit it to get both. Send exactly `true` or `false`. |

Send each parameter at most once. Unknown parameters, including `external_reference`, are rejected with `400 invalid_query`.

## Pagination

- `page_size` sets the number of products per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size, ordering and filters. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the query and connection that produced them.

To change a filter or the ordering, start again without a cursor. See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).

## Reading prices

Each product has a `prices` array with up to 100 price options. Each option is a price you can charge when you add the product to a job.

| Price field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `id` | The option's ID. Send it as `price_id` to choose this option. `null` for the legacy unit price. |
| `name` | The option's label, such as `Standard`. `null` for the legacy unit price. |
| `source` | `price` for a named option, `legacy` for the product's single legacy unit price. |
| `amount` | Decimal string with two decimal places, such as `"185.00"`. |
| `currency` | Three-letter currency code. |
| `currency_source` | `price` when the option has its own currency, `organization` when it uses your organization's currency. |
| `price_type` | `one_time` or `recurring`. |

How the list is built:

- A legacy unit price appears first, and only when it's greater than zero. Named options follow, newest first.
- Several named options can have the same amount. They're still separate options with their own IDs and names; don't merge them.
- An option with amount `"0.00"` is a real zero-price option.
- An empty `prices` array means no price is configured. It doesn't mean the product is free, and such a product can't be added to a job through the API.
- A `recurring` option is only a price label. Adding it to a job charges the amount once; it doesn't create a subscription or a recurring job.
- Amounts are never converted. Only options in your organization's currency can be added to jobs through the API.

To add a product to a job, see [Choosing a price](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-job-item/#choosing-a-price).

## Product fields

- `item_type` is `product`, `service` or `other`.
- `is_available` is `false` when the product has been marked unavailable. Unavailable products stay in the catalog and in this list, but can't be added to jobs through the API.
- `name` and `description` can be `null` for products created outside the API. Treat both as untrusted text and escape them when you display them.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | A parameter is unknown or repeated; `search` is empty, only spaces or longer than 256 characters; `item_type` isn't `product`, `service` or `other`; `is_available` isn't exactly `true` or `false`; or `page_size` or `ordering` is invalid. | Send only the documented parameters, each once, with valid values. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Product reads aren't available in this environment, or the URL is wrong. | Check the API origin and path (no trailing slash). |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# List quotes

`GET /public/v1/quotes`

Required permissions: `customers:read`, `quotes:read`.

Returns the quotes in your organization, oldest first by default, one page at a time.

You can list every quote, or narrow the list to one customer, one status, or both. Each quote in the list has its totals but not its line items, terms or customer note; read one quote with [Get a quote](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-quote/) for those. Lists show current data, so a quote created or changed while you page through may or may not appear.

Reading quotes never changes them. There's no endpoint to send, accept, decline or convert a quote.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `customers:read` | No dependencies |
| `quotes:read` | Depends on `customers:read` |

The `location` summary is only included when the connection also has `customer_locations:read`.

Quotes must be available for your organization: FieldTask makes Quotes available organization by organization, your organization must not have switched Quotes off, and its currency must use no more than two decimal places. Otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`.

## Parameters

- `cursor` (query, optional, string): Opaque continuation bound to identity, scopes, selected fields, parent, page size, ordering and resolved filters; expires within 24h.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `ordering` (query, optional, string, default "created_at"): Oldest first (created_at) or newest first (-created_at), with ID as the tie-breaker in the same direction. Keep unchanged while following a cursor.
- `customer_id` (query, optional, string)
- `status` (query, optional, string)

## Filtering

All filters are optional and can be combined:

| Parameter | Returns |
| --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | Only quotes for this customer. The ID must be a customer in your organization; otherwise the response is `404 resource_not_found`. |
| `status` | Only quotes with this status: `draft`, `sent`, `accepted`, `declined`, `expired` or `archived`. |

Send each parameter at most once. Any other parameter, including a date filter, is rejected with `400 invalid_query`.

## Pagination

- `page_size` sets the number of quotes per page, from 1 to 100. The default is 25.
- `ordering` is `created_at` (oldest first, the default) or `-created_at` (newest first).
- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps your page size, ordering and filters. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter unchanged. Cursors expire within 24 hours and only work with the query and connection that produced them.

To change a filter or the ordering, start again without a cursor. See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/).

## Quote fields

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `quote_number` | The number FieldTask assigned, such as `QT-1037`. |
| `title` | The quote's title. An empty string when it has none. |
| `status` | `draft`, `sent`, `accepted`, `declined`, `expired` or `archived`. `unknown` means a status this API version doesn't recognize; handle it rather than failing. |
| `customer` | The customer's ID, name and email, or `null` when the quote has no customer or the customer has been removed. |
| `location` | The location's ID, name and address, or `null`. Needs `customer_locations:read`. |
| `issue_date` | The quote date, with no time zone, or `null`. |
| `expiry_at` | When the quote stops being valid, in UTC, or `null`. |
| `selected_revision` | Which version of the quote the amounts come from. See below. |
| `subtotal`, `discount_amount`, `tax_amount`, `total` | Amounts as decimal strings in `currency`. See [Totals, taxes and discounts](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/create-quote/#totals-taxes-and-discounts). |
| `discount_type`, `discount_value`, `tax_rate` | The discount and tax settings behind those amounts. |

Amount fields and `selected_revision` are `null` for a quote that has no revision yet, which can happen for a quote still being started in FieldTask.

### Which version the values come from

A quote can have several revisions: when someone edits a quote that was already sent, FieldTask creates a new draft revision while the customer keeps seeing the sent one. `selected_revision` tells you which revision the amounts, dates and summaries describe:

- If the customer accepted a revision, it's that **accepted** revision.
- Otherwise it's the **current** revision. For a sent quote that someone is editing, that's a `draft` revision, not the version the customer has.

Check `selected_revision.state` before treating the values as the offer the customer received. `sent_at` and `accepted_at` are in UTC.

Values from a sent or accepted revision are frozen as they were when it was sent or accepted: later changes to the customer's name or to catalog prices don't change them. The `customer` and `location` summaries of a frozen revision are shown only while that customer or location still exists in your organization; otherwise they're `null`. Draft revisions show their saved values.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | The query string has an unknown or repeated parameter, or `status`, `ordering` or `page_size` has a value that isn't allowed. | Send only `customer_id`, `status`, `ordering`, `page_size` and `cursor`, each once. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, was changed, or belongs to a different query, connection or page size. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks a permission this request needs. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | Quotes aren't available for your organization or in this environment, `customer_id` isn't a customer in your organization, or the URL is wrong. | Check the customer ID, that Quotes is available and switched on for your organization, and that the path has no trailing slash. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | The service couldn't complete the request. | Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body. |

# List a member's timesheet entries

`GET /public/v1/timesheets/entries`

Required permissions: `members:read`, `timesheets:read`.

Also needs `jobs:read` when `published_job_summary`.

Returns one member's individual timesheet entries for a date range of 1–31 days, one page at a time, ordered by start time.

Each entry has its start and end time and, where available, the job it was recorded against. Use it to show or reconcile what a member worked on. For worked hours per day and in total, use [Get a member's timesheet totals](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-timesheet-range/) instead.

## Before you start

- **Timesheet reads enabled by FieldTask.** Where they aren't, this endpoint returns `404 resource_not_found`.
- **The member's ID.** Find it with [`GET /public/v1/members`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-members/). It's a membership ID, not a user account ID. Only active members can be read.

## Permissions

| Permission | Dependency in the permission map |
| --- | --- |
| `members:read` | No dependencies |
| `timesheets:read` | Depends on `members:read` |

Some response fields need more:

| When | Additional permission | Including its dependencies |
| --- | --- | --- |
| To receive the `job` summary on each entry | `jobs:read` | `jobs:read` |

Without `jobs:read`, `job` is always `null`.

## Parameters

- `member_id` (query, required, string): Resolve the person with fieldtask_list_members. Use their membership ID, not a global user ID. Ask about ambiguous names.
- `start_date` (query, required, string): First included organization-local date.
- `end_date` (query, required, string): Last included organization-local date; at most 31 days.
- `page_size` (query, optional, integer, default 25)
- `cursor` (query, optional, string)

## Responses

### 200 OK

## Query parameters

| Parameter | Required | What to send |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `member_id` | Yes | The member ID of an active member, from `GET /public/v1/members`. |
| `start_date` | Yes | The first day to include, as `YYYY-MM-DD`. |
| `end_date` | Yes | The last day to include, as `YYYY-MM-DD`. Both dates are included, and the range must be 1–31 days long. |
| `page_size` | No | Entries per page, from 1 to 100. Defaults to 25. |
| `cursor` | No | `page.next_cursor` from the previous page. |

There's no `ordering` parameter and no other filter. Dates are calendar days in your organization's time zone, returned as `range.timezone` (UTC if the organization has none set). The date rules are the same as for [timesheet totals](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-timesheet-range/#choosing-dates).

## Which entries are returned

- Every entry for the member that overlaps the range: it ends after the start of `start_date` and starts before the end of `end_date`, in the organization's time zone.
- Entries keep their **full stored start and end times**. They aren't cut at the edges of the range, so an entry that began the evening before `start_date` appears with its real `starts_at`.
- Entries are ordered by `starts_at`, then by `id`.
- Times are UTC with a `Z` suffix.

Because entries aren't cut at the range edges, don't add them up to get worked hours for the range. Use [timesheet totals](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/get-timesheet-range/) for that.

## What an entry includes

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `id` | The timesheet entry's ID. |
| `member_id` | The member's ID, the same as the `member_id` you sent. |
| `starts_at`, `ends_at` | When the entry started and ended, in UTC. `ends_at` is always later than `starts_at`. |
| `job` | The job's `id` and `name`, or `null`. |

`job` is `null` when the entry isn't linked to a job, when the connection doesn't have `jobs:read`, when job details aren't published in your environment, or when the job is no longer available.

The response also has `member`, with the member's current `display_name`, and `range`, with the dates and time zone used.

Entries don't include approval status, pay rates or amounts, location tracking, idle time or edit history.

## Pagination

- When `page.has_more` is `true`, request `page.next_page_url` with the same `Authorization` header. It keeps `member_id`, both dates and `page_size`. It's `null` on the last page.
- If you build URLs yourself, pass `page.next_cursor` as `cursor` and keep every other parameter unchanged. A cursor only works with the same member, dates, page size and connection, and it expires within 24 hours.
- Each page is read live. An entry added or changed while you page through may or may not appear.

### Large ranges

A range can contain at most 5,000 entries for the member. If it has more, every page of the request returns `422 report_too_large`. A smaller `page_size` doesn't help, because the limit applies to the whole range. Split the range into shorter ones.

## Errors

| Status | `code` | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_query` | A required parameter is missing, a parameter is repeated or unknown (including `ordering`), a date isn't a valid `YYYY-MM-DD` date, `end_date` is before `start_date`, the range is longer than 31 days, or `page_size` is outside 1–100. | Send `member_id`, `start_date` and `end_date` once each for a range of 1–31 days, and optionally `page_size` and `cursor`. |
| 400 | `invalid_cursor` | The cursor is malformed, has expired, or was issued for a different member, date range, page size, connection or set of permissions. | Use `next_page_url` or the cursor exactly as returned, with the same query. To change the query, start again without a cursor. |
| 401 | `invalid_token` | The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in). | Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as `Authorization: Bearer …`. |
| 403 | `api_access_not_enabled` | FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it. | An owner or admin requests access in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 403 | `insufficient_scope` | The connection lacks `timesheets:read` or `members:read`. `error.code` is `missing_permission`. | Add the permission named in `error.message` to the connection in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 404 | `resource_not_found` | `member_id` isn't the ID of an active member of your organization (for example a user account ID, or a removed member), or timesheet reads aren't enabled in this environment. | Look the person up with `GET /public/v1/members` and use their `id`. |
| 405 | `method_not_allowed` | This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The `Allow` header lists the methods that are. | Use a method listed in `Allow`. |
| 422 | `report_too_large` | The member has more than 5,000 entries in the date range. | Use a shorter date range. A smaller `page_size` doesn't help. |
| 429 | `rate_limit_exceeded` | Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 429 | `daily_quota_exceeded` | The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, or check remaining allowance in **Settings → API connections**. |
| 503 | `temporarily_unavailable` | FieldTask couldn't read the entries. No partial page is returned in its place. | Retry with exponential backoff, using the same URL. |

# Event feed

The event feed lets your system pull changes to customers, customer locations, jobs and members, in order, without running a public endpoint. This guide shows how to build a reliable sync with it. For every parameter and error, see the reference for [`GET /public/v1/events`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-events/).

> **Preview:** The event feed is part of a review contract that hasn't been released. FieldTask enables it, and enrolls your organization for each record family, separately from the rest of the API.

## Before you start

-   **The feed enabled for your organization.** FieldTask enables change sync and enrolls your organization for each family: customers, customer locations, jobs and members. Ask FieldTask which families you have.
-   **A REST credential** with read permission for each family: `customers:read`, `customer_locations:read` (with `customers:read`), `jobs:read` or `members:read`. See [Authentication](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/authentication/).
-   **Somewhere durable to store** your copy of the records, each record's revision, and the feed cursor.

## How it works

The feed is an ordered list of [events](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/). A cursor marks your position in it. Each request returns the events after your cursor and a new cursor to use next time.

Events say which record changed and which fields changed, not the new values. Your sync reads the current record whenever an event arrives.

The sync has four parts:

1.  **Bootstrap**: get a cursor for the current end of the feed.
2.  **Backfill**: copy every record you need.
3.  **Poll**: apply events after the cursor, repeatedly.
4.  **Recover**: start again when the cursor can't be used.

## 1. Bootstrap

Request a cursor with `after=now`, naming the families you want:

```bash
curl --get "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/events" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN" \
  --data-urlencode "after=now" \
  --data-urlencode "resources=customers,customer_locations,jobs"
```

Response:

```json
{
  "data": [],
  "page": {
    "next_cursor": "EXAMPLE_OPAQUE_CURSOR_1",
    "has_more": false,
    "retry_after_seconds": 30
  }
}
```

Save `page.next_cursor`. Treat it as an opaque string: don't parse or change it, and URL-encode it when you send it.

Always send the same `resources` value with a cursor. The cursor only works with the selection it was issued for. Sending `resources` explicitly also protects you when FieldTask enrolls another family later: a cursor issued without `resources` stops working when the set of available families changes.

## 2. Backfill

After you have the cursor, read every record you need with the list endpoints:

| Family | List endpoint |
| --- | --- |
| Customers | `GET /public/v1/customers` |
| Customer locations | `GET /public/v1/customers/{customer_id}/locations`, for each customer |
| Jobs | `GET /public/v1/jobs` |
| Members | `GET /public/v1/members` |

Store each record with its `revision`. See [Pagination](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/conventions/pagination/) for paging through the lists.

The order matters. Because you took the cursor first, any change made while you backfill is also in the feed after your cursor, so nothing falls between the two. Some events will describe changes your backfill already has; the revision check below skips them.

## 3. Poll

Request the events after your saved cursor:

```bash
curl --get "$FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN/public/v1/events" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN" \
  --data-urlencode "after=$SAVED_CURSOR" \
  --data-urlencode "resources=customers,customer_locations,jobs" \
  --data-urlencode "limit=100"
```

For each page:

1.  Apply each event in `data`, in order.
2.  Save `page.next_cursor`, in the same transaction as the changes you applied if you can.
3.  Wait `page.retry_after_seconds`, then request again with the new cursor.

`retry_after_seconds` is short while `has_more` is `true` and longer once you've caught up. Use the value returned rather than a fixed interval. Every request counts against your organization's daily event-feed allowance, including empty pages, so polling faster doesn't get you more data.

Keep reading while `has_more` is `true`, even if a page has fewer events than `limit` or none at all. The feed skips events you can't receive, such as events for families you didn't select, but the cursor still moves past them.

### Apply an event

Applying events (Python):

```python
import os

import requests  # pip install requests

API_ORIGIN = os.environ["FIELDTASK_API_ORIGIN"]  # placeholder: https://api.fieldtask.example
HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['FIELDTASK_API_TOKEN']}"}
PATHS = {
    "customers": "/public/v1/customers/",
    "customer_locations": "/public/v1/customer-locations/",
    "jobs": "/public/v1/jobs/",
    "members": "/public/v1/members/",
}

def apply(event, store):
    """store is your database: revision(type, id), save(type, record), remove(type, id)."""
    kind, record_id = event["resource"]["type"], event["resource"]["id"]
    stored = store.revision(kind, record_id)
    if stored is not None and event["resource"]["revision"] <= stored:
        return  # already have this change or a newer one
    if event["tombstone"]:
        store.remove(kind, record_id)
        return
    response = requests.get(API_ORIGIN + PATHS[kind] + record_id, headers=HEADERS, timeout=30)
    if response.status_code == 404:
        store.remove(kind, record_id)  # deleted since; its deleted event follows
        return
    response.raise_for_status()
    store.save(kind, response.json()["data"])  # includes the record's current revision
```

-   **Compare revisions, not arrival order.** A record's revision increases with every change. Ignore events whose revision isn't newer than the one you stored, and store the revision from the record you read.
-   **Expect to apply an event twice.** If your process stops after applying events but before saving the cursor, the next request returns the same events. The revision check makes that harmless.
-   **Reading records uses your read allowance.** Several events for the same record can arrive together; reading the record once after the last of them is enough.

The full polling loop is in the code samples on the [reference page](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-events/).

## 4. Recover

Some problems mean your cursor can never be used again. Their response includes `"resync_required": true`:

| Problem | Cause |
| --- | --- |
| `410 history_expired` | The cursor is older than 30 days, or the changes after it are no longer kept. |
| `409 access_context_changed` | The connection's permissions or access changed since the cursor was issued, or FieldTask changed what the feed includes for your organization. Any permission change counts, even adding an unrelated permission. |

Retrying the same cursor won't help. Instead:

1.  Bootstrap a new cursor with `after=now`.
2.  Backfill again, replacing your copy. Remove records that no longer appear in the lists.
3.  Poll with the new cursor.

Keep your cursor fresh. Each response gives you a new cursor, and a cursor expires 30 days after it was issued, so a sync that polls regularly never reaches that limit.

Other errors don't need a resync:

| Problem | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| `400 invalid_cursor` | The cursor was changed, belongs to another connection, or was sent with different `resources`. Send the saved cursor with its own selection. If you've lost it, recover as above. |
| `429 rate_limit_exceeded`, `429 daily_quota_exceeded` | Wait for `Retry-After` seconds, then retry with the same cursor. |
| `503 sync_unavailable` | Retry with backoff using the same cursor. If it continues, ask FieldTask to check that sync is enabled for your organization. |
| `403 insufficient_scope` | A family in `resources` isn't enabled, enrolled or permitted for this connection. Fix the permissions or remove the family. |

## Checklist

-   Take the cursor before you backfill.
-   Send the same explicit `resources` with every cursor.
-   Save the cursor only after applying its page, ideally in the same transaction.
-   Use `revision` to skip stale and repeated events.
-   Wait `retry_after_seconds` between requests.
-   Handle `resync_required` by bootstrapping and backfilling again.

# Event types

Webhooks and the [event feed](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-feed/) use the same events. Each event says that one record changed: which record, its new revision and the names of the fields that changed.

## Event types

There are three kinds of event for each record family: `created`, `updated` and `deleted`.

| Resource family | Event types |
| --- | --- |
| `customers` | `customer.created`, `customer.updated`, `customer.deleted` |
| `customer_locations` | `customer_location.created`, `customer_location.updated`, `customer_location.deleted` |
| `jobs` | `job.created`, `job.updated`, `job.deleted` |
| `members` | `member.created`, `member.updated`, `member.deleted` |

You receive events only for families your webhook or feed request includes, that FieldTask has enabled and enrolled for your organization, and that the connection can read. Quotes, invoices, products, job items, member invitations and timesheets have no events.

| Kind | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `created` | The record became visible through the API: it was created, or a deleted record was restored. `changed_fields` lists all of its fields. |
| `updated` | One or more of the record's fields changed. `changed_fields` names them. |
| `deleted` | The record was deleted or is no longer visible through the API. `tombstone` is `true` and `changed_fields` is empty. |

## The event object

A webhook request body is one event. A feed page has a list of them in `data`.

A job.updated event:

```json
{
  "event_id": "eeeeeeee-eeee-4eee-8eee-eeeeeeeeee02",
  "schema_version": 1,
  "event_type": "job.updated",
  "observed_at": "2026-11-03T14:19:58.112Z",
  "published_at": "2026-11-03T14:19:59.004Z",
  "resource": {
    "type": "jobs",
    "id": "66666666-6666-4666-8666-666666666666",
    "revision": 3
  },
  "changed_fields": ["schedule", "status", "updated_at"],
  "tombstone": false
}
```

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `event_id` | Unique ID of this event. Retries and replays of a webhook reuse it, and it's also sent as the `webhook-id` header. |
| `schema_version` | Always `1` in this version. |
| `event_type` | One of the event types above. |
| `resource.type` | `customers`, `customer_locations`, `jobs` or `members`. |
| `resource.id` | ID of the record that changed. |
| `resource.revision` | The record's revision after this change. See [Revisions](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/#revisions). |
| `changed_fields` | Names of the fields that changed, sorted. Only fields this connection can read are listed. |
| `tombstone` | `true` for `deleted` events, otherwise `false`. |
| `observed_at` | When FieldTask recorded the change, in UTC. |
| `published_at` | When the event was made available to webhooks and the feed, in UTC. |

The example is formatted for reading. A real webhook body is compact JSON with no spaces, and you must [verify its exact bytes](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/receive-webhooks/#verify-each-request) before parsing it. Webhook requests also carry the headers `webhook-id`, `webhook-signature`, `webhook-timestamp`.

### Field names, not values

Events don't contain record data. `changed_fields` uses the field names from the record's REST response, such as `schedule` on a job or `primary_address` on a customer. To get the new values, read the record:

| `resource.type` | Read it with |
| --- | --- |
| `customers` | `GET /public/v1/customers/{id}` |
| `customer_locations` | `GET /public/v1/customer-locations/{id}` |
| `jobs` | `GET /public/v1/jobs/{id}` |
| `members` | `GET /public/v1/members/{id}` |

The record you read can be newer than the event, because it reflects every change up to now. That's expected.

## Deleted records and tombstones

A `deleted` event is a tombstone: it tells you to remove the record from your copy.

A job.deleted event:

```json
{
  "event_id": "eeeeeeee-eeee-4eee-8eee-eeeeeeeeee03",
  "schema_version": 1,
  "event_type": "job.deleted",
  "observed_at": "2026-11-03T14:22:40.517Z",
  "published_at": "2026-11-03T14:22:41.090Z",
  "resource": {
    "type": "jobs",
    "id": "77777777-7777-4777-8777-777777777777",
    "revision": 5
  },
  "changed_fields": [],
  "tombstone": true
}
```

-   Reading a deleted record returns `404`. Don't treat that as an error in your sync.
-   Deleted events are always sent, even though the record can no longer be read.
-   An `updated` event for a record that has since been deleted is skipped; you get its `deleted` event instead.
-   A record can come back. Restoring it produces a `created` event with a higher revision.

## Ordering

Don't rely on events arriving in the order changes happened.

-   The feed returns events in the order FieldTask added them, which is close to the order the changes happened but not exact.
-   Webhooks can arrive in any order, because a failed delivery is retried later while newer events are delivered.
-   The same event can arrive more than once.

Use `revision` to decide which state is newer, and `event_id` to recognize an event you've already processed.

## Revisions

Each record has a `revision` that starts at 1 and increases with every recorded change. It's the same number as the `revision` field in the record's REST responses. You won't necessarily see every revision, so gaps are normal.

To apply events safely:

1.  Keep the latest revision you've stored for each record.
2.  If an event's `resource.revision` is less than or equal to it, ignore the event.
3.  Otherwise read the record (or remove it, for a tombstone) and store the revision from what you read.

## History

FieldTask keeps events for 30 days. Webhook deliveries can be replayed, and feed cursors can be used, only within that period. After it, rebuild your copy from the list endpoints.

# Receive webhooks

A FieldTask webhook sends a signed HTTPS `POST` to your receiver each time a customer, customer location, job or member changes. Each request body is one [event](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/).

> **Preview:** Webhooks are part of a review contract that hasn't been released. FieldTask enables them separately from the rest of the API.

## Before you start

-   **Webhooks and change sync enabled by FieldTask**, with your organization enrolled for each record family you want. See [Webhooks or polling?](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/webhooks-or-polling/).
    
-   **An organization owner or admin** to add and manage the webhook in the FieldTask app. Webhooks can't be managed with an API token.
    
-   **An API connection with read permissions** for each family the webhook sends. A webhook belongs to one connection and is limited by its permissions:
    
    | Family | Permissions the connection needs |
    | --- | --- |
    | Customers | `customers:read` |
    | Customer locations | `customer_locations:read` and `customers:read` |
    | Jobs | `jobs:read` |
    | Members | `members:read` |
    
-   **A receiver that meets the requirements below**, running with the signing secret before you verify it.
    

## Receiver requirements

FieldTask only delivers to a receiver that meets all of these:

| Requirement | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| HTTPS on port 443 | The URL must start with `https://` and use port 443, the default. Other ports aren't accepted. The certificate must be valid for the host name. |
| Public address | The host name must resolve only to public IP addresses. Private, loopback and reserved addresses are rejected. |
| Plain URL | Up to 2,048 characters, with no user name or password and no `#fragment`. A query string is allowed. |
| Fast response | The whole attempt, including connecting, TLS and reading your response, must finish within 5 seconds. |
| Small, uncompressed response | Your response body must be at most 4,096 bytes and must not be compressed. A larger or compressed response counts as a failure. |
| No redirects | Redirects aren't followed. A `3xx` response is a failed attempt. |

Each request is a `POST` with `Content-Type: application/json`, a body of at most 16 KiB, and the headers `webhook-id`, `webhook-signature`, `webhook-timestamp`.

To use a different URL later, add a new webhook. A webhook's URL can't be changed.

## Add a webhook

1.  Go to **Settings → API connections**, choose **Manage** for the connection, and in its **Webhooks** section choose **Manage**.
2.  Choose **Add webhook**.
3.  Enter the **Receiver URL** and select the **Resources** to send: **Customers**, **Customer locations**, **Jobs** and **Members**. Only families the connection can read are offered. Choose **Add webhook**.
4.  Copy the **Signing secret**. It starts with `whsec_`. It's shown once and can't be displayed again.
5.  Install the secret on your receiver and make sure the receiver is running.
6.  Select **I have saved the secret and installed it on the receiver.**, choose **Continue**, then **Confirm**.

FieldTask then sends a signed verification challenge to your receiver. If your receiver answers correctly, the webhook becomes **Active**. If it doesn't, the webhook stays **Pending**; fix the receiver and choose **Verify receiver** in **Delivery details**.

-   You have 15 minutes from adding the webhook, and up to 5 verification attempts. After that, choose **Disable webhook** and add a new one. Do the same if you lose the secret before verifying.
-   Delivery starts from the moment verification succeeds. Changes made before that aren't sent, so backfill your copy with the list endpoints.
-   A connection can have up to 10 webhooks that aren't disabled.

## Answer the verification challenge

The challenge is a signed `POST` like any other delivery, with this body:

```json
{"challenge":"EXAMPLE_CHALLENGE","type":"webhook.verification"}
```

Verify the signature, then reply within 5 seconds with any `2xx` status and a body that is exactly:

```json
{"challenge":"EXAMPLE_CHALLENGE"}
```

The reply is compared byte for byte: compact JSON, the `challenge` value copied unchanged, no spaces and no trailing newline. The samples below do this.

FieldTask sends a new challenge whenever it needs to confirm your receiver: when you add a webhook, resume or replay deliveries, and activate a new signing secret.

## Verify each request

Every request is signed with the [Standard Webhooks](https://www.standardwebhooks.com/) scheme. Use a `standardwebhooks` library rather than writing the check yourself.

| Header | Contains |
| --- | --- |
| `webhook-id` | The event ID. For deliveries it's the same as the body's `event_id`. |
| `webhook-timestamp` | When this attempt was signed, in seconds since the Unix epoch. |
| `webhook-signature` | One or more signatures, separated by spaces, each in the form `v1,` followed by a Base64 HMAC-SHA256 value. |

The signature covers the `webhook-id`, the `webhook-timestamp` and the **raw request body**, exactly as received. Verify before you parse:

-   Read the body as bytes. Don't parse it to JSON and serialize it again before verifying; a different byte sequence fails verification.
-   If your framework parses JSON automatically, read the raw body instead, for example `request.get_data()` in Flask or `express.raw({ type: 'application/json' })` in Express.
-   Reject requests that fail verification with a `4xx` status, and never with `410`, which [pauses the webhook](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/receive-webhooks/#retries-and-failures).

Set `FIELDTASK_WEBHOOK_SECRETS` to your signing secret. During a [secret rotation](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/receive-webhooks/#rotate-the-signing-secret), set it to both secrets separated by a space. Every sample below reads it and tries each secret.

The Python and Node.js samples are complete receivers. The others give you a verify function and a handler that returns the status and body to send; call it from your web framework with the raw body and the request headers.

**Python**

Install the libraries with `pip install standardwebhooks flask`.

receiver.py:

```python
import json
import os
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

from flask import Flask, Response, request
from standardwebhooks import Webhook, WebhookVerificationError

# One or more signing secrets (whsec_...), separated by spaces.
WEBHOOKS = [Webhook(secret) for secret in os.environ["FIELDTASK_WEBHOOK_SECRETS"].split()]
SIGNED_HEADERS = ("webhook-id", "webhook-timestamp", "webhook-signature")

def verify_delivery(raw_body, headers):
    """Return the parsed body, or raise if no secret verifies the request."""
    signed = {name: headers.get(name, "") for name in SIGNED_HEADERS}
    error = None
    for webhook in WEBHOOKS:
        try:
            return webhook.verify(raw_body, signed)
        except (WebhookVerificationError, ValueError) as exc:
            error = exc
    raise error

app = Flask(__name__)
executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4)  # use your job queue in production
processed = set()  # use a durable store in production

def handle_event(event):
    if event["event_id"] in processed:
        return  # a retry or replay you've already handled
    processed.add(event["event_id"])
    # Read the current record with the REST API, or remove it if event["tombstone"].
    print(event["event_type"], event["resource"]["id"], event["resource"]["revision"])

@app.post("/fieldtask/webhooks")
def receive():
    raw_body = request.get_data()  # the exact bytes FieldTask signed
    try:
        message = verify_delivery(raw_body, request.headers)
    except (WebhookVerificationError, ValueError):
        return Response(status=400)
    if message.get("type") == "webhook.verification":
        # Reply with exactly {"challenge":"..."}: compact JSON and nothing else.
        reply = json.dumps({"challenge": message["challenge"]}, separators=(",", ":"))
        return Response(reply, status=200, content_type="application/json")
    executor.submit(handle_event, message)  # acknowledge first, then process
    return Response(status=204)
```

      return webhook.verify(rawBody, signed);
    } catch (error) {
      lastError = error;
    }
  }
  throw lastError;

async function handleEvent(event) {
  if (processed.has(event.event_id)) return; // a retry or replay you've already handled
  processed.add(event.event_id);
  // Read the current record with the REST API, or remove it if event.tombstone is true.
  console.log(event.event_type, event.resource.id, event.resource.revision);
}

createServer((request, response) => {
  if (request.method !== 'POST') return response.writeHead(405).end();
  const chunks = [];
  request.on('data', (chunk) => chunks.push(chunk));
  request.on('end', () => {
    const rawBody = Buffer.concat(chunks); // the exact bytes FieldTask signed
    let message;
    try {
      message = verifyDelivery(rawBody, request.headers);
    } catch {
      return response.writeHead(400).end();
    }
    if (message.type === 'webhook.verification') {
      // Reply with exactly {"challenge":"…"}: compact JSON and nothing else.
      response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
      return response.end(JSON.stringify({ challenge: message.challenge }));
    }
    response.writeHead(204).end(); // acknowledge first…

**Rust**

Add `standardwebhooks = "1.0.1"`, `http = "1"` and `serde_json = "1"` to `Cargo.toml`. The `HeaderMap` is the one frameworks such as axum give you.

webhooks.rs:

```rust
use http::HeaderMap;
use serde_json::{json, Value};
use standardwebhooks::{Webhook, WebhookError};

pub struct Verifier {
    webhooks: Vec<Webhook>,
}

impl Verifier {
    /// One or more signing secrets (whsec_...), separated by spaces, for example
    /// std::env::var("FIELDTASK_WEBHOOK_SECRETS").
    pub fn new(secrets: &str) -> Result<Self, WebhookError> {
        let webhooks = secrets.split_whitespace().map(Webhook::new).collect::<Result<_, _>>()?;
        Ok(Self { webhooks })
    }

    /// raw_body: the request body exactly as received. Returns the parsed body, or an
    /// error if no secret verifies the request.
    pub fn verify(&self, raw_body: &[u8], headers: &HeaderMap) -> Result<Value, WebhookError> {
        let mut error = WebhookError::InvalidSignature;
        for webhook in &self.webhooks {
            match webhook.verify(raw_body, headers) {
                Ok(()) => return serde_json::from_slice(raw_body).map_err(|_| WebhookError::InvalidPayload),
                Err(e) => error = e,
            }
        }
        Err(error)
    }

    /// Returns the status and body to send. `enqueue` receives each verified event: put
    /// it on a queue and process it after responding, once per event_id.
    pub fn handle(&self, raw_body: &[u8], headers: &HeaderMap, enqueue: impl FnOnce(Value)) -> (u16, String) {
        let message = match self.verify(raw_body, headers) {
            Ok(message) => message,
            Err(_) => return (400, String::new()),
        };
        if message["type"] == "webhook.verification" {
            // Reply with exactly {"challenge":"..."}: compact JSON and nothing else.
            return (200, json!({ "challenge": message["challenge"] }).to_string());
        }
        enqueue(message);
        (204, String::new())
    }
}
```

### Replay protection

The `standardwebhooks` libraries reject a request whose `webhook-timestamp` is more than five minutes before or after your server's clock. Keep your clock synchronized. FieldTask signs every attempt with a fresh timestamp, so retries aren't rejected for being old.

Within those five minutes, a captured request could be sent to you again. Recording the event IDs you've processed, as the samples do, makes a repeated request harmless.

## Respond quickly, process later

Any `2xx` response marks the delivery as delivered. Return it as soon as the request is verified, then do the work afterwards, for example by putting the event on a queue. Reading records from FieldTask or writing to your database before responding risks exceeding the 5 seconds limit, which counts as a failure and causes a retry.

## Retries and failures

A delivery attempt fails if your receiver times out, can't be reached, fails the requirements above, or returns any status other than `2xx`. FieldTask then tries again with the same event ID and body, and a new signature and timestamp:

| After failed attempt | Next attempt no sooner than |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | 15–30 seconds |
| 2 | 30–60 seconds |
| 3 | 1–2 minutes |
| 4 | 2–4 minutes |
| 5 | 4–8 minutes |
| 6 | 8–16 minutes |
| 7 | 16–32 minutes |
| 8 to 11 | 30–60 minutes |

Each wait is chosen at random within its range. If you respond `429` or `503` with a `Retry-After` header in seconds, FieldTask waits at least that long, up to 1 hour.

FieldTask stops after 12 attempts, or 24 hours after the delivery was first queued or last replayed, whichever comes first. The webhook is then **paused**.

Delivery also ends early in these cases:

-   **Your receiver returns `410 Gone`.** The delivery is marked as failed and the webhook pauses. Only return `410` if you want deliveries to stop.
-   **The record is no longer visible** to the connection when an attempt is due. Its `created` or `updated` delivery is **cancelled**. Its `deleted` event is still delivered.

Before each attempt, FieldTask checks the connection's access again. If the connection was revoked or its permissions changed, delivery stops and the webhook pauses.

FieldTask holds at most 1,000 waiting deliveries per webhook. When that many are waiting, it stops queuing new events until the backlog shrinks. Events aren't dropped; they're queued later.

## Duplicates and ordering

The same event can reach you more than once: after a timeout where your receiver did process the request, after a retry, or when someone replays a delivery. Events can also arrive out of order.

-   Deduplicate by `webhook-id`, which equals the event's `event_id`. Keep processed IDs for at least the [history period](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/#history), because deliveries can be replayed within it.
-   Use `resource.revision` to ignore an event that is older than the state you already have. See [Revisions](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/#revisions).

## Pause, resume and replay

Open **Delivery details** for a webhook to see its state, its last successful delivery and its recent deliveries, up to 100 per page.

### Why a webhook pauses

| Reason shown | What happened | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The receiver returned HTTP 410. | Your receiver answered `410`. | Fix the receiver, then **Resume delivery**. |
| Delivery retry limits were reached. | A delivery failed 12 times or for 24 hours. | Fix the receiver, then **Resume delivery** and select the failed deliveries to retry. |
| Connection permissions or sync access changed. | The connection's permissions changed, the connection was revoked, or FieldTask changed sync access for your organization. | This webhook can't be resumed. **Disable webhook**, add a new one, and resynchronize your copy from the list endpoints. |
| Required history expired. | Waiting changes are older than the history FieldTask keeps. | This webhook can't be resumed. Resynchronize your copy from the list endpoints, then add a new webhook. |
| Delivery was paused by an administrator. | Someone chose **Pause delivery**. | **Resume delivery** when ready. |

When a webhook pauses for any reason other than an administrator's request, the organization's owner and admins get an in-app notification, **Webhook delivery paused**.

While a webhook is paused:

-   Deliveries that were waiting are marked **Failed**.
-   New changes aren't lost. They're sent after you resume, as long as they're still within the history period.

### Resume delivery

**Resume delivery** sends a new verification challenge to your receiver, then restarts delivery. You can select **Failed** or **Delivered** deliveries to send again; select none to resume with new changes only.

### Replay selected deliveries

On an **Active** webhook, select up to 100 **Failed** or **Delivered** deliveries and choose **Replay selected deliveries**. FieldTask verifies the receiver with a new challenge, then sends them again with their original event IDs and bodies. Each starts a new retry cycle of up to 12 attempts or 24 hours.

Only deliveries for events within the history period, for records the connection can still read, can be selected.

### Limits

Resuming, replaying, staging a signing secret and activating it share a limit of 5 per webhook in each 15-minute window. Choose **Disable webhook** to stop a webhook permanently; its waiting deliveries are cancelled.

## Rotate the signing secret

Rotate the secret if it may have been exposed, or on your own schedule. The webhook must be **Active** or **Paused**.

1.  In **Delivery details**, choose **Stage new signing secret**, then **Confirm**. Copy the new secret; it's shown once. The current secret keeps signing deliveries.
    
2.  Add the new secret to your receiver **alongside** the current one, for example `FIELDTASK_WEBHOOK_SECRETS="whsec_CURRENT_PLACEHOLDER whsec_NEW_PLACEHOLDER"`. The samples above accept a request that verifies with either.
    
3.  Within 15 minutes of staging, choose **Activate signing secret**, then **Confirm**. FieldTask sends a verification challenge signed **only with the new secret**, so your receiver must already have it. The staged secret's expiry is shown as **Staged secret expires**; after it, stage a new one.
    
4.  After activation, the new secret signs every delivery. For 5 minutes, deliveries also carry a signature from the previous secret, so `webhook-signature` contains two values:
    
    ```
    webhook-signature: v1,SIGNATURE_WITH_NEW_SECRET v1,SIGNATURE_WITH_PREVIOUS_SECRET
    ```
    
    The end of this overlap is shown as **Previous key signing ends**.
    
5.  After the overlap ends, remove the previous secret from your receiver.
    

-   Staging again before activating replaces the staged secret.
-   You can't stage another secret until the overlap has ended.
-   This overlap only applies to webhook signing secrets. API token rotation works differently; see [Authentication](https://developer.fieldtask.io/guides/authentication/).

# Webhooks or polling?

FieldTask can tell your system when customers, customer locations, jobs and members change, in two ways:

-   **Webhooks**: FieldTask sends each change to an HTTPS endpoint you run.
-   **The event feed**: your system asks for changes with [`GET /public/v1/events`](https://developer.fieldtask.io/rest/reference/list-customer-events/), using a cursor to continue where it left off.

Both deliver the same [event object](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-types/): which record changed, its new revision and the names of the fields that changed. Neither includes field values, so after an event you read the current record with the REST API.

> **Preview:** Webhooks and the event feed are part of a review contract that hasn't been released. FieldTask enables them separately from the rest of the API.

## What both need

-   **API access for your organization**, requested by an owner or admin in **Settings → API connections**.
-   **Change sync enabled by FieldTask, and your organization enrolled.** FieldTask enrolls your organization for each record family separately: customers, customer locations, jobs and members. Ask FieldTask which families are enabled for you.
-   **Read permissions on the connection** for each family you want. Customer locations need both `customer_locations:read` and `customers:read`.

Webhooks also need to be enabled by FieldTask.

## What neither covers

Events exist only for customers, customer locations, jobs and members. There are no events for quotes, invoices, products and prices, job items, member invitations or timesheets. To track those, list them periodically with the REST API.

## Comparison

|  | Webhooks | Event feed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How changes arrive | FieldTask sends a signed `POST` to your HTTPS endpoint for each event. | You request pages of events. |
| What you run | A public HTTPS receiver on port 443. | Any process that can call the REST API. |
| Setup | An owner or admin adds the webhook in **Settings → API connections**, and your receiver answers a signed challenge. | None beyond a REST credential. |
| Credential you hold | A signing secret, used to verify each request. | An API token or OAuth access token. |
| Order | Not guaranteed. Retries can deliver an older event after a newer one. | In the order FieldTask added events to the feed. |
| Duplicates | Possible. Retries and replays reuse the same event ID. | Possible if you request the same cursor again. |
| If your side is down | FieldTask retries for up to 12 attempts or 24 hours, then pauses the webhook. You resume it and choose deliveries to retry. | Nothing is lost while your cursor is valid. Cursors expire after 30 days. |
| If the connection's permissions change | The webhook pauses and can't be resumed. Add a new webhook and resynchronize. | Your cursor stops working. Start a new cursor and resynchronize. |
| Usage allowance | Webhook deliveries aren't API requests. Reading the changed records is. | Every feed request counts against a daily event-feed allowance, including empty pages. |

## When to use which

**Use webhooks** when you want to react to changes soon after they happen and can run a public HTTPS endpoint. Read [Receive webhooks](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/receive-webhooks/).

**Use the event feed** when you can't accept inbound requests, for example behind a firewall, or when you sync on a schedule. Read [Event feed](https://developer.fieldtask.io/webhooks/event-feed/).

**Use both** when you want webhooks for speed and the feed as a safety net. They're independent: the feed doesn't know which events your webhook received. A common pattern is to let webhooks trigger work as events arrive, and periodically read the feed to catch anything missed while a webhook was paused. Your event handling must then ignore events it has already applied, by `event_id` or by comparing `revision`.

## Either way

-   **Start with a full copy.** Before relying on events, read every record you need with the list endpoints. With the feed, take a cursor with `after=now` first, then backfill. With webhooks, delivery starts when your receiver is verified; changes before that aren't sent.
-   **Read the current record.** Events carry field names, not values. Read the record with `GET /public/v1/customers/{id}`, `GET /public/v1/customer-locations/{id}`, `GET /public/v1/jobs/{id}` or `GET /public/v1/members/{id}`.
-   **Handle deletes.** `*.deleted` events mean the record is no longer visible through the API. Remove it from your copy.
-   **Use `revision`.** Ignore an event whose revision isn't newer than the one you've stored.
-   **Plan for a resync.** If history expires or permissions change, you rebuild your copy from the list endpoints and start again.
