Yeah that's not a field retrievable via the api

unborn flame Nov 8, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

So you can only adjust this setting via the dashboard?

livid delta Nov 8, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

yep

unborn flame Nov 8, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

Do you know when this will be available via API?

livid delta Nov 8, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

Why do you need it

unborn flame Nov 8, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

I want to create the invoice via API but avoid the sendout to the customer. I just need the PDF, because we handle the sendout internally.

#

Idk why you need that param

#

You can create an invoice without sending it to the customer via the api

How do I create an invoice with collection_method = send_invoice without actually sending it to the customer?

#

charge_automatically does not work for our use case as it would automatically try to attempt to pay the invocie

👋 stepping in as codename_duchess needs to step away

#

When you create the Invoice you set auto_advance to false

#

Then it won't send without you sending it explicitly
