Send an invoice by email

Scopeinvoices:write

Sends the invoice by email, attaching its PDF by default. When no recipient is given, the addresses configured on the customer are used.


POST
/v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/send
AuthorizationBearer <token>

API Key authentication.

Format: Authorization: Bearer beel_sk_<key>

Scopes: API Keys use the same scopes as OAuth2 tokens. Each key is created with specific scopes that limit which endpoints it can access. The required scope for each endpoint is documented in the operation's security section under OAuth2.

Obtaining Keys: API Keys are managed from the BeeL dashboard

Security: API Keys are secret credentials. Do not share them or store them in source code

In: header

Path Parameters

company_idstring

NIF (company) the operation acts on. It is the only source of context: the account that owns it is derived from it, and the BeeL-Active-Company header plays no part. A NIF you do not reach answers 403, and so does a NIF that does not exist, so the existence of a NIF in another account is never disclosed.

Formatuuid
invoice_idstring

Invoice ID

Formatuuid

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

Idempotency key to prevent duplicates in sensitive operations.

  • Any unique client-generated string (e.g. an order id). A UUID also works but is not required
  • Allowed characters: letters, digits, _ and - (max 255 chars)
  • If the same key is sent twice, the result of the first operation is returned
  • Keys expire 24 hours after processing

The key is scoped per user and environment, and bound to the request body, so retrying after a network timeout replays the stored response instead of repeating the operation.

StatusCodeWhen
400INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEYThe key breaks the format rules above.
409IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSINGThe first request is still in flight. Wait and retry with the same key.
409IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCHThe key was already used with a different body. Use a new key.

Lengthlength <= 255
recipients?array<Email>

If not specified, uses the customer's email

cc?array<Email>

CC recipients. Copied addresses count as recipients of the message: they are subject to the same sending restrictions and to the same quota as the addresses in recipients. When omitted, the CC addresses configured in the sender's email defaults apply; send an empty array to deliver the message without any copy.

subject?string

Email subject (optional, if not specified uses a default)

Length1 <= length <= 200
message?string

Custom message (optional, added before standard message)

Length1 <= length <= 2000
attach_pdf?boolean
Defaulttrue
attach_source_invoices?boolean

Attach a ZIP archive (suplidos_<invoice-number>.zip) containing the PDFs of the source invoices referenced by the invoice's SUPLIDO consolidation lines (source_invoice_ids). Each PDF inside the ZIP is named <invoice-number>_<issuer-tax-id>.pdf. Requires attach_pdf: true (the ZIP accompanies the invoice PDF). Access to sources owned by managed accounts is re-checked at send time with the same rules as issuing; the request fails with an actionable error — never a partial ZIP — if the invoice has no consolidation sources (ATTACH_SOURCE_INVOICES_NO_SOURCES), a source is not reachable (ATTACH_SOURCE_INVOICE_UNAVAILABLE), a source has no generated PDF (ATTACH_SOURCE_PDF_MISSING), or the ZIP exceeds the size limit (ATTACH_SOURCE_ZIP_TOO_LARGE).
