Update invoice status using API

[xavierhb]

Hi! I've been trying to update the default invoice status (from draft to any other status) but can't seem the way to make it work.

This is the code:

$invoice = $client->createInvoice();
$invoice->addInvoiceItem('Item', 'Some notes', 10);
$invoice->public_notes = 'Some public notes';
$invoice->invoice_status_id = 6;
$invoice->balance = 0;
$invoice->save();

public_notes field is updated but invoice_status_id and balance remains the same.

@hillelcoren Is there any documented way to update the invoice status and balance using the API?

We don't support manually setting the invoice_status_id field, it's set by the app when the invoice is sent. We'll add this to the API in our next release and then to the SDK..

Here's an example request: curl -X PUT ninja.dev/api/v1/invoices/1?action=mark_sent -H "X-Ninja-Token: TOKEN"

Thanks @hillelcoren. Any estimated time/version when it will be done?

Sorry, we aren't able to provide ETAs for changes.

Hello When i'm trying that, i'm getting: "error": "Action [mark_sent] is not supported" Done with curl in PHP

[hillelcoren]

Are you using the latest version of the app?

I'm trying to call this on the hosted one, not the local one.

[hillelcoren]

We deployed a new version this morning, please try again.

Found another way though.. Just setting the $invoice->paid = AMOUNT, and then it's the same.

Hi I have the same issue, i can update publicnotes but i cannot change the status_id of the invoice How can we do this ?

[hillelcoren]

The status id is set automatically, for example to set the status to paid you'd need to create a payment.
