# Finalizes a draft invoice (marks it sent).

`POST /api/v1/invoices/{id}/mark-sent`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.flexonthejob.com`
- URL: `https://app.flexonthejob.com/api/v1/invoices/{id}/mark-sent`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Requires `ManageInvoices` and an `Idempotency-Key` header. Freezes the
draft's lines, records the send and moves it to `Sent` — the same step as the
"Finalize" button, minus the customer email (send that through your own channel using
`GET /api/v1/invoices/{id}`). Calling it on an already-finalized invoice only
refreshes its audit fields and returns it unchanged.

## Path parameters

- `id` integer, required

## Response `200`
