Send an invoice
Send a posted invoice to the customer by email, or get it as a download.
MCP tool odoo_write → send_invoice
write Confirm
Uses the Send window of the invoice. With email the invoice goes to the contact's email address; with download Cotlet returns the file and nothing is sent. Only posted invoices can be sent. The call fails with a clear error if the contact has no email address. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
