Connect FreshBooks, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Catalogue and tax errors surface only on a wrong invoice
Items run low, lose their tax setting or get duplicated, and tax rates get entered oddly. Spotting it means scrolling two separate FreshBooks lists, so problems show up only when an invoice goes out wrong.
Without PopdockAI
- Scroll the item catalogue line by line
- Check each item's tax setting
- Compare tax names and rates by eye
- Find the problem on a customer's invoice
With PopdockAI
- Items and taxes are read together
- Low stock, missing costs, duplicates and broken tax links are flagged
- Odd tax rates and duplicate taxes are called out
- A short fix-first summary, nothing edited

**Objective:** Audit the item catalogue and tax setup, treating stock at or below {low-stock-level} (default 5) as low.
**Step 1: Read**
If `{company}` is not empty, pass it as `company` on every call; otherwise omit `company`. Call `freshbooks-get-item` and `freshbooks-get-tax` with no filters other than the company.
**Step 2: Check**
* Items whose `inventory` is at or below {low-stock-level}.
* Items with no `unit-cost`, no `sku` or duplicate `name`.
* Items whose `tax-1-id` or `tax-2-id` does not exist in the tax list.
* Taxes with duplicate names or numbers, and unusual `rate` or `amount` values.
**Step 3: Report**
Findings grouped by check with item or tax ids, and a short summary of what to fix first.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Never call any `freshbooks-add-*`, `freshbooks-update-*`, `freshbooks-delete-*`, `freshbooks-mark-invoice-as-sent` or `freshbooks-send-invoice-by-email` tool.
**Validation:**
* If a list is empty, say so and skip the checks that depend on it.Who it's for
