Can you add Attachments to the emails that send Invoices? Via the API. You can do it within the Web App but I can’t seem to see if you can via the API

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your message on our forum. I’m afraid at present you can’t upload ad-hoc attachments to invoice emails using the `/v2/invoices/:id/send_email` . I’m not sure if this applies to your use case, but if you’re specifically looking to enclose attachments for expenses rebilled on an invoice, what you can do is pass an `attach_expense_receipts: true` key-value pair in your POST request body, which will include those in the e-mail (you might have noticed that [expense](https://dev.freeagent.com/docs/expenses) attachments _can_ be uploaded via the API). It looks like the `attach_expense_receipts` attribute has been added fairly recently, and not yet included in our documentation, so I’ll make a note to add it in.

Best wishes,

Ewa

It’s to attach supporting documentation to the charges in the Invoice, so I can’t see that adding Expenses attachments is the right thing to do. As it stands the only email our system doesn’t send itself, is our outbound Invoices so I think we will rebuild it ourselves, and download the PDF templates from your API as part of it. Thanks for the feedback.
