Emailing Invoices using API send endpoint

A very annoying missing part of this very good endpoint is that the status on the invoice is not updated to 'already printed or sent' from 'to be emailed'.

Do it from within MYOB - and this status is updated - via the API the status in not updated.

This is a bit of a letdown on a very useful feature.

Why is it annoying - when you do everything via the API - from Orders, BackOrders, to converting an Order into a Sales Invoice - the final part is emailing - up to here - everything can be done via the API - except updating that status.

Am I missing something with the endpoint? or is this just something it cannot do.

The field is the ' Invoice Delivery Status' - which is accessible obviously from the front GUI but also via the API sales/invoice endpoint.

However, the email successfully goes out and is registered in the MYOB email register - ' view all activity' will demonstrated it went out and was received - actually that is an interesting point - is " view all activity" accessible via an API - if so I could check the emailed status via that - sorry, I side thought.

Thanks for your quick reply.

See MYOB article

https://apisupport.myob.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001119036-The-API-Emailing-Invoices

Specifically, I am using this endpoint and it works perfectly except for the status in the emailed Invoice doesn't change.

/Sale/Invoice/Item/{invoice_uid}/email

Hey The_Doc
I started looking in to this last night, which endpoint and field are you looking at for that status?
Thanks Roc
