Tenant API v1 — Contracts

Base path: /api/tenant/v1

Middleware: auth:tenant-api, tenant.user, not.suspended, verified, module:contracts, plus permission middleware / policies.

Assignee scoping: without contracts.assign (and not superadmin), list/stats/view/update/send/accept/convert only include contracts where assigned_to is the current user.

Stats

GET /contracts/stats

Same filters as list (minus pagination/sort). Counts include sent alongside draft, active, expired, and terminated.

Contracts CRUD

GET /contracts

Query: search, status, opportunity_id, assigned_to (unassigned or user id), my_contracts, trashed, sort, direction, page, per_page.

List items include status, opportunity, quotation (when linked), invoice_count, assignee/creator refs, latest_note, plus acceptance fields when present: has_acceptance_link, acceptance_link_expires_at, accepted_at, accepted_by_name, accepted_by_email.

POST /contracts

Body: opportunity_id (required), quotation_id (optional — only valid when the Quotations module is entitled, the quotation is not soft-deleted, the actor may access the quotation, and the quotation belongs to the same opportunity; see LinkableQuotation), title (required), party_name, start_date (required), end_date, value, currency (3-letter, default USD), description (HTML memo, sanitized server-side, max 50000), notes (HTML memo, sanitized server-side, max 50000), assigned_to.

GET /contracts/{id}

Includes opportunity, quotation (when linked), related invoices (id/number/status), quotation_already_invoiced (true when the linked quotation already has any invoice), assignee, creator, description / notes HTML memos, comments (contract_notes), timeline activities, and acceptance metadata (has_acceptance_link, acceptance_link_expires_at, accepted_at, accepted_by_name, accepted_by_email). Embedded contract_notes and timeline/domain activities are newest-first (created_at DESC, then id DESC).

GET /contracts/{id}/pdf

Permission: contracts.view (assignee-scoped). Extra limiter throttle:contracts-pdf. Returns application/pdf attachment. Branded layout matches other sales documents (logo, button color, company profile). Includes party, dates, value, and sanitized description/notes HTML.

PUT /contracts/{id}

Partial update of draft contracts only. Non-draft contracts return 422 on status (Only draft contracts can be edited.). Assignment after send/activate uses POST /contracts/{id}/assign. Status changes use POST /contracts/{id}/status (or dedicated send/accept actions).

DELETE /contracts/{id}

Soft delete. Permission: contracts.delete.

POST /contracts/{id}/restore

Permission: contracts.restore.

DELETE /contracts/{id}/force

Permanently delete a soft-deleted contract. Permission: contracts.force.delete.

Actions

POST /contracts/{id}/assign

{ "assigned_to": number|null }

Permission: contracts.assign.

POST /contracts/{id}/send

Transitions draft → sent. Permission: contracts.send (assignee-scoped unless the actor has contracts.assign or is superadmin). Status-only — does not email or generate a PDF. Issues a hashed customer acceptance token (plaintext returned only from POST …/acceptance-link or embedded in email). Records signature_requested.

POST /contracts/{id}/email

{ "to"?: string[], "cc"?: string[], "bcc"?: string[], "subject": string, "message": string, "attach_pdf"?: boolean }

Permission: contracts.send (assignee-scoped unless the actor has contracts.assign or is superadmin). Throttle: billing-document-email (10/min per user).

Requires the contract to already be sent — draft returns 422 on status. Allowed for sent, active, expired, and terminated.

When to is omitted, resolves the recipient from the linked opportunity’s contact email, then company email. If no address is found, returns 422 on to.

Queues a branded email via the tenant mailer (optional PDF attachment from ContractPdfService). For Sent contracts, rotates the acceptance token and appends the accept URL to the message body. Records an emailed timeline entry and a tenant email log row (notification_type: contract.emailed).

POST /contracts/{id}/acceptance-link

Permission: contracts.send (assignee-scoped). Requires status sent. Rotates the acceptance token and returns { url, expires_at, has_acceptance_link, acceptance_link_expires_at }.

POST /contracts/{id}/accept

Transitions sent → active. Permission: contracts.accept (assignee-scoped unless the actor has contracts.assign or is superadmin). Clears any outstanding acceptance token.

Public customer accept (unauthenticated)

Requires tenancy (domain / X-Tenant-Domain) and Contracts entitlement. Throttle: contract-acceptance (20/min per IP).

• GET /public/contracts/accept/{token} — summary (title, party, dates, value, workspace name, description, expiry). Invalid/expired/used → 404.
• POST /public/contracts/accept/{token} — body { accepted_by_name, accepted_by_email }; marks active, stores signer + IP, invalidates token, records signed activity.

POST /contracts/{id}/status

{ "status": "draft"|"sent"|"active"|"expired"|"terminated" }

Permission: contracts.update. Rejects disallowed transitions (including re-entering the same status) with a 422 validation error on status. Records a status_changed timeline entry. Prefer dedicated POST …/send and POST …/accept for send/activate-from-sent (correct permission gates). Draft → active supports Activate without signature. Expire/terminate clear outstanding acceptance links.

Allowed transitions:

• draft → sent | active | terminated
• sent → active | expired | terminated
• active → expired | terminated

POST /contracts/{id}/convert

Creates a draft CustomerInvoice from an active contract (repeatable — progress billing):

• Requires the Invoices module to be entitled (soft, call-time check — no module_dependencies row). Returns 422 if Invoices is not installed.
• Copies linked quotation lines when present; otherwise a single line from value. Rejects if there is no value and no quotation lines.
• Sets customer_invoices.contract_id and copies quotation_id when the contract is linked to a quotation
• Does not hard-block when the quotation is already invoiced — the confirm UI warns; the API allows another invoice
• Second and later invoices for the same contract require { "acknowledge_repeat_billing": true } (422 on acknowledge_repeat_billing otherwise). The SPA confirm dialog always sends this flag.
• Records a converted activity (Created invoice {number})

Permission: contracts.convert (assignee-scoped unless the actor has contracts.assign or is superadmin). Rejects with a 422 if the contract is not active. Returns the created invoice (CustomerInvoiceResource) with HTTP 201.

POST /contracts/{id}/notes

{ "body": string }

Permission: contracts.update.

GET /contracts/{id}/timeline

Domain timeline entries (created, updated, assigned, status_changed, converted, note_added, deleted, restored, emailed, signature_requested, signed).
