how to send invoice pdf from netsuite to external system using api netsuite

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To send an invoice PDF from NetSuite to an external system using the NetSuite API, you would need to follow these steps: 1. First, you need to ensure that the PDF version of the invoice already exists in NetSuite. This is because the NetSuite API does not directly support the generation of PDFs. 2. You can use the SuiteTalk SOAP API to interact with the File object in NetSuite. The File object represents the PDF version of the invoice. You can find more information about this in the NetSuite Help Center under the section for the File object. 3. Once you have access to the File object, you can download the PDF invoice and send it to the external system. Here is a high-level overview of how you might set up a workflow to automate this process: 1. Create a workflow with two states. 2. In the first state, add an 'Email Invoice' button. This button will transition the workflow to the second state. 3. In the second state, set an action to send an email. In the body of the email, write the necessary information and attach the PDF invoice. Please note that this is a high-level overview and the actual implementation may vary based on your specific requirements and the capabilities of the external system. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
