Sending An Invoice
Invoices are created in a “Draft” status and must be marked as sent or sent by email before accounting reports recognize them. A client cannot view an invoice link in “Draft” status.
Invoices can be marked as sent by a PUT request with the "action_mark_as_sent": true action or sent by email with the "action_email":true action and a list of "email_recipients". See the sidebar for examples.
