Step 2: Create a custom function  

Create a custom function in Zoho FSM to email the customer the service reports of a service appointment and the invoices in the parent work order.
  1. Navigate to Setup > Automation > Functions and click Create Function.
  2. Enter the following details and click Save:
    1. Function Name: SendInvoiceAndSR

    3. In the Deluge Script Editor, enter the following script:
aptId = service_appointment.get("id");
response = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Service_Appointments",aptId);
service_appointment_resp = response.get("data").toMap();
relatedWOId = service_appointment_resp.get("Appointments_X_Services").toMap().get("Work_Order").get("id");
work_order_resp = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Work_Orders",relatedWOId);
woRespMap = work_order_resp.get("data").toMap();
serviceLineItems = woRespMap.get("Service_Line_Items").toList();
serviceLineItemsList = List();
file_attachment_list = List();
for each  line_item in serviceLineItems
{
 invoiceId = line_item.get("Invoice_Id");
 if(invoiceId != null)
 {
  invoiceResp = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Invoices",invoiceId);
  invoiceId1 = invoiceResp.get("data").toMap().get("ZBilling_InvoiceId");
  invoiceResp1 = zoho.invoice.getRecordById("Invoices","<orgId>",invoiceId1);
  invoice_format = {"accept":"pdf"};
  response = invokeurl
  [
   type :GET
   parameters:invoice_format
   connection:"zinvoice"
  ];
  file_attachment_list.add(response);
 }
}
contact_id = service_appointment_resp.get("Contact").toMap().get("id");
contact_resp = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Contacts",contact_id);
contact_data = contact_resp.get("data").toMap();
Email = contact_data.get("Email");
srResp = zoho.fsm.getRelatedRecords("Service_Reports","Service_Appointments",aptId);
if(srResp != null && srResp.containKey("data"))
{
 relatedRecords = srResp.get("data").toList();
 for each  record in relatedRecords
 {
  reportpdfResp = record.get("Service_Report_PDF");
  fileurl = reportpdfResp.get(0).get("download_Url");
  fileResp = invokeurl
  [
   url :"https://" + fileurl
   type :GET
   connection:"fsmcon"
  ];
  file_attachment_list.add(fileResp);
 }
}
sendmail
[
 from :zoho.adminuserid
 to :Email
 subject :"Zoho FSM Service Reports and Invoices"
 message :"Please find attached the Service Reports and Invoices in service appointment."
 Attachments :file:file_attachment_list
]

Replace <orgId> with the actual value. To obtain the Organization ID, in Zoho Invoice, click the organization name at the top right corner and copy the Invoice Organization ID linked to your Zoho FSM account.
