The problem
Hunting through the books for one online order
Finding where an online order ended up means opening it in WooCommerce, then hunting through FreshBooks for its client, invoice and payment. A missing client or unpaid invoice is easy to overlook, so the answer takes longer than it should.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the order in WooCommerce
- Find the client in FreshBooks by email
- Search for the invoice and payments
- Overlook a missing client or unpaid invoice
With PopdockAI
- The order and lines are read, stopping if several match
- The client, invoice and payments are found
- Loose matches on amount and date are labeled as candidates
- Gaps and mismatches are stated plainly, and nothing is changed

**Objective:** Trace WooCommerce order `{order-number}` into FreshBooks company `{company}` and report whether it has a client, an invoice and a payment.
**Step 1: Read the order**
Call `woocommerce-get-order` with `order-number` set to `{order-number}`. If it returns more than one order, list them and stop. Keep `order-id`, `status`, `total`, `currency`, `customer-email`, `created-date`, `paid-date`. Then call `woocommerce-get-order-line` with `order-id` to keep each line's `line-name`, `line-sku`, `line-quantity`, `line-total`.
**Step 2: Find the client**
Call `freshbooks-get-client` with `email` set to the order's `customer-email`. If none is found, report the client as missing and skip to Step 4.
**Step 3: Find the invoice and payments**
Call `freshbooks-get-invoice` with `customer-id` set to the client `id` and `invoice-number` set to `{order-number}`. If nothing matches, call it again with the client only and look for an invoice with the same `amount` and a `create-date` within 3 days of the order. For the invoice found, call `freshbooks-get-payment` with `invoice-id`.
**Step 4: Report**
Show the order summary, then the client, invoice (number, amount, `payment-status`, `outstanding`) and payments. State plainly: order paid but invoice unpaid, amounts that differ, currencies that differ, or nothing found.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* FreshBooks tools (named freshbooks-...) are on the freshbooks server; WooCommerce tools (named woocommerce-...) are on the woocommerce server. Both servers must be connected.
* Pass `{company}` as the company parameter on every FreshBooks call when it is given; if FreshBooks reports more than one company and none was given, ask which one and stop.
* This prompt is read-only. Never call any FreshBooks add, update, delete, mark or send tool (for example `freshbooks-add-invoice`, `freshbooks-add-payment`, `freshbooks-add-credit-note`, `freshbooks-send-invoice-by-email`) or any WooCommerce add, update or send tool (for example `woocommerce-add-order-note`, `woocommerce-update-order`, `woocommerce-send-order-details`).
**Validation:**
* If the order is not found, say so and stop.
* Present a loose match (amount and date only) as a candidate, never as confirmed.Who it's for
