Not getting email when creating shipment through API in magento 2

Question

I am using API call to create order shipment.

$ch = curl_init("https://store-url/index.php/rest/all/V1/order/17168/ship");

It creates the shipment but not sending shipment email.

Please suggest me some idea.

thanks

Answer 1

The notify field is used to trigger Magento to send the shipment email.

Found the answer here:

So in order to send shipment email to customer, final call should be:

$ch = curl_init("https://store-url/index.php/rest/all/V1/order/order_id/ship?notify=true");
