POST
/api/public/v1/invoices/{invoiceId}/send-email

Email an invoice

Sends the customer their pay link. Creating an invoice does not send it — this is the send. Only an OPEN invoice can be mailed: once the deposit lands there is nothing left to ask for, and a PENDING_CONTRACT invoice goes out on its own when the contract behind it is signed.

Required scope

The access token must carry this scope. A token missing it gets 403 Forbidden. Grant them to an API client under Settings → Company → API, and to a teammate under Employee → Permissions.
