**Operation ID:** `debitNotes.sendEmail` · **Access:** PAT with `send` scope and authorized workspace where applicable · **Effect:** `external`.

:::caution[Production action]
This operation can send data to an external service. Use a new idempotency key for each new intent. A timeout does not prove that the action failed.
:::

An `Idempotency-Key` is **required**. Retry the same intent with the same key and the same request bytes. [Read the retry rules](/guides/errors-and-retries/).

Read the [debit notes workflow](/guides/health-documents/) before this operation.
