Rails ActionView Missing Template during Email

I'm trying to create an email using ActionMailer. The invoice email gets sent.

But, I'm getting this error on the screen after the emails is sent:

ActionView::MissingTemplate at /invoices/sendinvoice
Missing template invoices/sendinvoice, application/sendinvoice

This is in my invoices_controller.rb

  def sendinvoice
    @invoice = Invoice.find(params[:invoice_id])
    InvoiceMailer.invoice_email(@invoice).deliver
  end

This is in mailers/invoice_mailer.rb

class InvoiceMailer < ActionMailer::Base
  default from: "ndeavor@ameipro.com"
  def invoice_email(invoice)
    @invoice = invoice
    mail(:to => @invoice.workorder.contact.email, :subject => "New Invoice from " + @invoice.tenant.name )
  end
end

This is in views/invoice_email.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Invoice</h2>

</body>
</html>

This is a button in the invoices/show.html.erb

<%= link_to 'Send Invoice', invoices_sendinvoice_path(:invoice_id => @invoice), :class => 'btn btn-primary' %>

This is in routes:

  get "invoices/sendinvoice"

Thanks for the help!

Yes, you have to specify one view when the email is sent. Your action does not have a view and rails is asking for that. The view should be in app/views/invoices/sendinvoice.html.erb
