Send Invoice Email

Open in Postman
Idempotency SupportedAsynchronous

Sends the invoice email to the customer using the site's published Send Invoice Email Engage notification template.

Use this operation to resend or manually trigger the invoice email for a customer outside the normal notification schedule.

Async-only This operation is asynchronous only. You must send Prefer: respond-async, a unique chargebee-request-id, and a chargebee-async-callback-url. The HTTP response is 202 Accepted with an empty body. When processing completes, Chargebee delivers the outcome to your async callback URL — a successful result contains email_logs.
