API addcredit function and sending of receipt for credit

[brianoz]

I want to use addcredit to add credit to a user's account when they send a transfer to our bank account. That is, if they include a customer number code with the transfer, it will automatically credit their account when the bank notifies us of the transfer.

 

Does the API call for "addcredit" send a receipt automatically? If not, does anyone have a code fragment to send a receipt?

 

Off the top of my head, without too much study, I'm assuming the pseudo code sequence would be something like:

 

1. create payment invoice with a line for the credit payment without sending invoice
   
2. important: will creating an invoice use up any credit already on the account???
   
3. add a payment to the invoice which should then send a receipt
   
4. add credit to WHMCS (has to be done last so invoice doesn't use up credit)
   

 

 

Would much value comments/ideas from anyone who's gone down this path already ... couldn't find anything in the wiki after much searching.
