Execute Event Block

post/extensions/roboledger/{graph_id}/operations/execute-event-block

Part of RoboLedger: Ledger & Events.

For events on a connection with write_policy='qb_authoritative' or 'hybrid', publish the event's draft GL entries to the source-of-truth system (QuickBooks), each as its own JournalEntry. Records the QuickBooks ids per entry on event.metadata.qb_entry_ids and promotes the published entries to 'posted'; the event goes 'fulfilled' once no draft remains, or 'pending' on rejection (what landed is kept). Native-policy events fast-path through with no QB write — RoboSystems is the system of record.

Idempotency: supply an Idempotency-Key header to make safe retries; replays within 24 hours return the same envelope. Reusing the key with a different body returns HTTP 409 Conflict.

Authentication

Authenticate in any one of these ways — not all of them:

  • API key in the X-API-Key header.
  • Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Request body

Required, application/json.

FieldTypeDescription
event_idrequiredstring

Event ID (evt_* ULID) to publish. The event's metadata.connection_id determines which QB connection to write to; the connection's write_policy governs whether a write fires.

connection_idoptionalstring

Override for the connection to route the write through. Used by the close-period batch path where schedule-originated events don't carry connection_id in their metadata. When unset, the command reads event.metadata.connection_id.

Responses

200 Successful Response

FieldTypeDescription
operationrequiredstring

Kebab-case operation name

operationIdrequiredstring

op_-prefixed ULID for audit and SSE correlation

statusrequiredstring

Operation lifecycle state

One of: completed, pending, failed

resultoptionalExecuteEventBlockResponse

Command-specific result payload

ExecuteEventBlockResponse fields
FieldTypeDescription
event_idrequiredstring

Echo of the event ID.

statusrequiredstring

The event's status after the call. Unchanged when no write fired (native policy, a source that does not publish) or when drafts in a later period are still unpublished. 'fulfilled' once every draft entry of the event is in QuickBooks and posted. 'pending' when QuickBooks rejected an entry — see qb_error; retry after fixing the underlying issue.

qb_external_idoptionalstring

QuickBooks JournalEntry ID of the first entry this call published. Null when nothing was published. When a call publishes several entries, qb_entry_ids holds them all.

qb_entry_idsoptionalobject

Every entry of the event now in QuickBooks: ledger entry ID → QuickBooks JournalEntry ID. Null when none are.

qb_erroroptionalobject

QB rejection detail when a publish failed. Shape: {code, message, qb_response_at}. Operator retries after fixing CoA mapping / amount validation / closed-period.

atrequiredstring

ISO-8601 UTC timestamp

createdByoptionalstring

User ID that initiated the operation

idempotentReplayoptionalboolean

True when this envelope came from the idempotency cache — the underlying command did not execute again. False on fresh executions.

Default: false
