lightning-preapproveinvoice -- Ask the HSM to preapprove an invoice (low-level)
SYNOPSIS
preapproveinvoice bolt11
DESCRIPTION
Command added in v23.02.
The preapproveinvoice RPC command submits the bolt11 invoice to the HSM to check that it is approved for payment.
Generally the preapproveinvoice request does not need to be made explicitly, it is automatically generated as part of a pay request.
By default, the HSM will approve all preapproveinvoice requests.
If a remote signer is being used it might decline an preapproveinvoice request because it would exceed velocity controls, is not covered by allowlist controls, was declined manually, or other reasons.
If a remote signer declines a preapproveinvoice request a subsequent attempt to pay the invoice anyway will fail; the signer will refuse to sign the commitment.
- bolt11 (string): Bolt11 invoice to submit to the HSM to check. (added v23.02)
RETURN VALUE
On success, an empty object is returned.
