# Execute Vault Transaction

## Overview

Execute an approved vault transaction. This takes all instructions saved in the `message` field of the corresponding Vault Transaction account and atomically executes them via CPI.

## Prerequisites

* Proposal in Approved status
* Time lock period elapsed (if configured)
* `@sqds/multisig` package installed
* Member with Executor permissions

## Quick Example

```typescript theme={null}
import * as multisig from "@sqds/multisig";
import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";

const connection = new Connection("<your rpc url>");

const { instruction, lookupTableAccounts } = await multisig.instructions.vaultTransactionExecute({
  connection,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  member: member,
});
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `connection` | `Connection` | Yes | Solana RPC connection, used to fetch the Vault Transaction account |
| `multisigPda` | `PublicKey` | Yes | PDA of the multisig |
| `transactionIndex` | `bigint` | Yes | Index of the transaction to execute |
| `member` | `PublicKey` | Yes | Member executing the transaction (must have Executor permissions) |

## Full Example

```typescript theme={null}
import * as multisig from "@sqds/multisig";
import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js"

async function main(member: PublicKey) {
    // Cluster Connection
    const connection = new Connection("<your rpc url>");

    // If you've saved your createKey, you can define it as a static PublicKey
    const createKey = new PublicKey("<your createkey>")

    // Derive the multisig PDA
    const [multisigPda] = multisig.getMultisigPda({
        createKey,
    });
    // or
    // const multisigPda = new PublicKey("<your multisig key>");

    // Get deserialized multisig account info
    const multisigInfo = await multisig.accounts.Multisig.fromAccountAddress(
      connection,
      multisigPda
    );

    // Get the current transaction index
    const transactionIndex = BigInt(multisigInfo.transactionIndex.toString());
    // or, if this is tied to your first transaction
    // const transactionIndex = 1n;

    // Returns the instruction and the address lookup table accounts it uses
    const { instruction, lookupTableAccounts } = await multisig.instructions.vaultTransactionExecute({
        connection,
        multisigPda,
        transactionIndex,
        // Member must have "Executor" permissions
        member: member,
    });
}
```

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
| - | - | - |
| Not approved | Proposal not in Approved status | Wait for approval threshold to be met |
| Time lock active | Time lock period not elapsed | Wait for time lock to expire |
| CPI failure | Underlying instruction failed | Check instruction validity, may need to recreate if stale |
| Insufficient permissions | Member lacks Executor permission | Use a member with Executor permissions |
