Invoices
Invoices
Invoices in FreshBooks are what gets sent to Clients, detailing specific goods or services performed or provided by the Administrator of their System, and the amount that the Client owes to the Admin.
Invoices are created in a “Draft” status, and must be marked as sent or sent by email before they are recognized by accounting reports. See “Sending An Invoice” below.
For online payment options, see Online Payments.
For customizing the invoice appearance and attaching files, see Invoice Presentation and Attachments

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.
