Send multiple invoices by email
Scopeinvoices:writeSends one email carrying the PDFs of the requested invoices as attachments.
- Deprecated: use
POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/deliveries, which sends the same email from the same body, withrecipientsdeclared as required there. - Limits: up to 200 invoices per call, and the attachments are capped at 25MB.
- Eligible invoices: only invoices in
ISSUED,SENT,PAIDorOVERDUEcan be sent. - Partial failures: invoices whose PDF cannot be attached are reported in
failuresand the message is still sent with the rest.
Keys are prefixed beel_sk_, and each one carries the scopes it was created with: a key
short of the scope an operation needs is answered 403. The scope an operation requires
is shown next to its title, and the full catalogue lives in the Scopes reference.
Keys are created from the BeeL dashboard. They are secret credentials: do not share them or commit them to source control.

Header Parameters
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.
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
400 | INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY | The key breaks the format rules above. |
409 | IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSING | The first request is still in flight. Wait and retry with the same key. |
409 | IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCH | The key was already used with a different body. Use a new key. |

}Send an invoice by email POST
Sends the invoice by email with its PDF attached. - **Deprecated:** use `POST /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/send`, which behaves identically. - **Recipients:** the addresses configured for the customer are used unless the body overrides them with `recipients`.
Mark an invoice as sent POST
Marks an issued invoice as sent through a channel outside the email system, recording `sent_at`. - **Deprecated:** use `PUT /v1/companies/{company_id}/invoices/{invoice_id}/status` with `{"status": "SENT"}`, which behaves identically. - **Timestamp:** the moment of sending travels in the same body there, as `sent_at`.
