Automating Client Record Creation

You can script client onboarding using `create_crm_client`. Run a simple shell command that calls this tool, passing the necessary data parameters. The output streams directly into your pipeline logs. If you need to check existing users first, run `list_crm_clients` to get a list of IDs and verify existence before creation.

Managing Bookings for CI/CD

Schedule test appointments using `create_new_booking`. This is useful for automated testing where you need to guarantee a booking exists at a specific time. The tool handles the service selection and staff assignment. Need to tear down the test? Use `cancel_appointment` in your cleanup script to ensure the system returns to a clean state.

Audit Billing History via Terminal

To audit billing, run `list_client_invoices` and pipe the output into a JSON processor. This gives you all invoices for a given client ID. For payment confirmation, use `list_recorded_payments`. You can then write a script that compares payments against price estimates using `list_price_estimates`.
