    The answer appears to be 'yes' - there is a specific endpoint for email sending from the api - it has been there since 2019 - fiddly no less - you need the UID of the invoice - so if you first POST a Sales Order - and that needs converting to a Sales Invoice - you have to DELETE this via the API - which is easy and works well - you then have to reconstruct the Order into an Invoice - (by checking the Order hasn't changed) - if it has you need the changed info from the order to then POST the new invoice - then you need to get the UID for that Invoice ( which will be different from the order) to then send the email POST to the email endpoint - easy eh !!! Right!
