Invoices can be emailed to customers manually, or automatically as part of the on-screen batch process. Currently auto-invoicing using automation does not send emails.
By default invoices will be sent to the email address seen in the invoice address details on the order. This email address will default onto the order depending on settings, but can always be manually overridden, either on the order, or when manually emailing a single invoice.

Which email address is used by default?
Invoices will always be emailed to the email address in the invoice address section of the order.
The following email address settings provide control over which email address will be loaded into this field when an order is created.
Choose whether to use the customer main email, accounts email, or the accounts email if it's there, otherwise use the main email. Note that a contact may be part of an organization, in which case the organization will have an accounts email address which will be used for all contacts in that company.
