API / Reference / Customer Credits
Post and send customer credit
POST
https://api.light.inc/v1/customer-credits/{customerCreditId}/post-and-send-email
Posts the customer credit and sends it via email. Optionally submits to e-invoicing if shouldSubmitEInvoice is set.
Same as post, plus a required emailInfo that is validated before posting, so a bad subject or recipient list leaves the credit in DRAFT (CUSTOMER_CREDIT_EMAIL_INVALID_SUBJECT, CUSTOMER_CREDIT_EMAIL_MISSING_RECIPIENTS, at most 20 recipients and 20 cc). The email itself is sent after the call returns.
Authorization
