Email not sent from table event subscriber in Business Central

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a Stripe integration in Dynamics 365 Business Central (Cloud) and I’m facing an issue with automatically sending emails when a payment webhook is received.

Scenario

Stripe sends a webhook
Webhook data is inserted into a custom table Webhook Buffer
When payment Status = 'succeeded', I want to:

Generate a PDF receipt using Report.SaveAs
Send email with attachment using Email / Email Message codeunits

Email works perfectly when:

Triggered manually from a page action
Triggered from a Job Queue codeunit that loops through pending records

Email does NOT send when triggered automatically from:
- OnAfterInsertEvent subscriber on Webhook Buffer
- Even when using COMMIT and Session.StartSession
No error is thrown and debugging is not possible (silent failure)

Question

Is it by design that emails / external actions should not be executed from table event subscribers?
Is Job Queue recommended pattern for this scenario?
Are there any officially supported alternatives for real-time email sending after webhook inserts?

Any guidance or confirmation from others who’ve handled webhook or payment integrations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
