Email an issued document

POST
/v1/invoices/{invoice_id}/dispatch
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.aerandil.com/v1/invoices/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/dispatch \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "cc": [ "hello@example.com" ], "message": "example", "to": "hello@example.com" }'

Sends the document as a PDF attachment, then records the dispatch. That order is the contract: record_invoice_dispatch is the fact that a document reached someone, so a send that failed records nothing. The SMTP round trip happens outside any action transaction. to defaults to the address on the document’s own recipient snapshot — a company’s invoicing email when the recipient is a company, which is the accounts-payable address rather than whoever made the booking. A document may be sent more than once and does not change state by being sent. Gated on issue_invoice’s apply scope — whoever may issue the document may send it; record_invoice_dispatch itself is internal to the route, so a caller cannot assert a delivery that never happened.

invoice_id
required
string format: uuid

The issued document.

Idempotency-Key
string
>= 1 characters

Opaque idempotency token (Stripe-shape). Repeated POSTs with the same key replay the original response within the cache TTL rather than creating a duplicate object.

object
cc
Array<string>
message

Replaces the covering note’s body.

string
to

Overrides the address on the document’s recipient snapshot.

string format: email
Examplegenerated
{
"cc": [
"hello@example.com"
],
"message": "example",
"to": "hello@example.com"
}

Accepted by the relay.

Cache-Control
string

Always no-store. Object and link state is live data and is never cacheable.

The bearer authenticated but does not hold the scope this operation requires.

Media typeapplication/json

Structured error wrapper. Every non-2xx response from any Aerandil endpoint serialises to this shape; the HTTP status carries the failure class (4xx/5xx), the body adds a stable code for programmatic dispatch plus a human-readable message.

error
required
object
code
required

Stable, programmatic error code (e.g. unauthorized, forbidden, not_found, invalid_body, invalid_url, precondition_failed, no_secondary_key). Clients dispatch on code, not on the message (which may be localised or contextualised in future versions).

string
instance_id

Request-id correlation handle echoed on the request-id response header — support teams correlate without scraping logs.

string
message
required

Human-readable explanation of the failure.

string
parameters

Per-error structured detail. The shape varies by code (e.g. forbidden_action carries {"action": "..."}; precondition_failed carries {"current_version": N}).

Examplegenerated
{
"error": {
"code": "example",
"instance_id": "example",
"message": "example",
"parameters": "example"
}
}

No such object in the caller’s tenant — which is also the answer when it exists in another tenant, by design.

recipient_email_missing — the document carries no address and none was supplied; invalid_recipient_email — the address does not parse.
