Here's an example of the two invoices created - one Draft and one open
And despite seeing a sent event on the open invoice:

Hello! Can you give me the two IDs for those Invoices? The IDs start with in_
small linden
We're not receiving the test emails. So I'm wondering if sendInvoice is the correct function to be using in this scenario
Sure thing
the Open invoice is: in_1Or3CvK1rU3BMAyYYlPebTBo
Draft: in_1Or3CvK1rU3BMAyYbGCsO0Ik
are we unintentionally creating duplicates?
uneven timber
With a few exceptions, we don't send emails in test mode, so that's expected.

Ah okay - even when sent to an active team member within our verified domain as mentioned here: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/revenue-recovery/customer-emails?locale=en-US#test-your-configuration ?

Yep, your Node code is unintentionally creating duplicate Invoices. Have a look at these two requests:
small linden
ah ok - as i suspected! hrmmmm
uneven timber
We are supposed to send emails in test mode under the conditions you linked to, but candidly it's flaky and I wouldn't count on any emails working in test mode.
small linden
ah okay - that's helpful to know. wanted to make sure we weren't crazy lol
and just to confirm - using the function sendInvoice vs finalizeInvoice is what we want to be using here if we are attempting to both finalize & trigger an email to the customer?
uneven timber
You don't need both, I don't think. Using sendInvoice should finalize it for you.
small linden
great - this is super helpful, thank you
now to figure out how/why we're unintentionally creating dupes 🤔
appreciate your assistance!
would calling createInvoiceItem unintentionally create a new invoice? even if we're passing it an invoice ID from a previous createInvoice call?
uneven timber
Yes, probably, but I would need to see the code to say for sure. One thing I noticed was that the metadata is different between the two creation requests. Looking for that metadata difference should help you find where in your code the duplicate creation request is happening.
small linden
Ah, okay - perfect. Thank you!

Happy to help!
