Invoice Ninja not returning client or email

Hi, 

I’m trying to make a Zap which integrates with Invoice Ninja and Twilio. 

I have successfully linked both sides to the accounts.

My purpose is to SMS the client when an invoice is made in Invoice Ninja.

My problem is that the API connection to Invoice Ninja isn’t returning client details. I get user details and invoice details, but not the client’s name or phone number.

From researching online, it appears there needs to be a piece appended to the API request - &include=client

but I don’t see a way to do this as the system auto appends the API connection string when you put your domain and API key in. Any ideas how to fix?

Hi ​@ben4217 

If it returns the Client ID, then add this Zap action: Invoice Ninja - Find Client

Hey ​@ben4217 👋 I had a look at Invoice Ninja’s New Invoice trigger and it appears to output the Client ID. Did you have any luck with that Find Client search action that Troy suggested using to get the missing client details?

Let us know if that sorted it, or if you could do with some more help!
