No, it's not accessible to an email action. Your code action can send an email using Joomla or CB API though so it is doable.Sorry I meant access INVOICE_CONTENT_HTML in an email auto action and not a code auto action.

That would be great as we can send the mail to our system which would generate the pdf for the accounting
So what would be the call to the CB API to send the mail to the user with a hidden copie to our system, say accounting@ourwebsite.com ?
I did not found any reference on the forum or doc

CBs email function is as follows.
This handles the entire process of sending the email and all you'll need to do is supply the necessary parameters in the PHP of your code action. You can of course use Joomla API as well if you're more comfortable with Joomla API.
/**
* Mail function (uses phpMailer or SMTP depending on global settings)
*
* @param string $from From e-mail address
* @param string $fromname From name
* @param string|array $recipient Recipient e-mail address(es)
* @param string $subject E-mail subject
* @param string $body Message body
* @param int $mode false = plain text, true = HTML
* @param string|array $cc CC e-mail address(es)
* @param string|array $bcc BCC e-mail address(es)
* @param string|array $attachment Attachment file name(s) (array index is filename, if string)
* @param string|array $replyto ReplyTo e-mail address(es)
* @param string|array $replytoname ReplyTo name(s)
* @param array $properties properties to apply to the mailer object before processing and sending (useful for supplying custom mailer)
* @param null|string $error stores most recent mailer error if available
* @return bool True: mail sent, False: mail not sent (error)
*/
function comprofilerMail( $from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $body, $mode = 0, $cc = null, $bcc = null, $attachment = null, $replyto = null, $replytoname = null, $properties = array(), &$error = null )This handles the entire process of sending the email and all you'll need to do is supply the necessary parameters in the PHP of your code action.

That's really great so we have now invoices in pdf in our accounting system 
Now there is just one question left which is the css display in the email.
Using the website we have a css override allowing to have nice looking invoices. it does not seem like the email sent uses this css
Do we have to make another one elsewhere ?
I've set $mode = 1 to send mail in html by the way and also tried to insert a <style> tag in the CBsubs invoice display setting, but no luck until now

You'd need to do an inline CSS element directly in your email for that email to load your sites CSS. It's best to do this in a small lightweight CSS file that has only the CSS you need for it to be styled.
