'Generate payment link and sms invoice using Zoho Books API

My application needs me to send a payment link to the customer via SMS. Once the payment is done, capture it and create a paid invoice and again send it via SMS to the customer. But I observed

  1. There is no API to generate a payment link
  2. Invoice cannot be sent via SMS.

Is there any other way of doing this?

There IS payment link API, it's just not documented.

If you POST something like

{
    "customer_id": 123456000001234567,
    "payment_amount": "1.00",
    "expiry_time": "2022-04-30",
    "description": "TEST"
}

to https://books.zoho.[eu]/api/v3/paymentlinks?organization_id=123456

you will get a new payment link with default contact email and status "generated". You can get URL from the response->payment_link->url.

Unfortunately, I didn't find out how to change the status of the payment link.

You can also send an email with POST to /api/v3/paymentlinks/{paymentlink_id}/email?organization_id=123456 if you specify subject, body and to_mail_ids array, and also do changes with PUT to i.e. expiry_time, but it would be great to know how to mark payments.
