# Create a Campaign via the API

> Create a draft AhaSend marketing campaign with its sender, lists, subject, preview text and design, from MJML, HTML or a campaign template.

The AhaSend API creates a draft marketing campaign. Access requires `campaigns:write`.

Only `name` is required. You can set all other fields in this request, or later with [Update Campaign](/docs/api-reference/campaigns/update-campaign). The response gives `ready` and `issues`: while the campaign has issues, it cannot be sent. See [Issues](/docs/api-reference/campaigns/overview#issues).

**Design:**
The design comes from one source:

* `content.mjml` creates an `advanced` design, and `content.html` creates an `html` design. With `content` that has neither, set `editor`. An `editor` that does not agree with the content is refused.
* `editor` without `content` creates an empty design, which you can complete in the dashboard's editor.
* `template_id` copies the design of a [campaign template](/docs/api-reference/campaign-templates/create-campaign-template). The copy belongs to the campaign: later changes to the campaign template do not change it. A campaign template with no HTML is refused. A `template_id` that names no campaign template of your account is refused with `400` `campaign template not found`. `template_id` cannot go with `editor` or `content`.
* Without any of them, the campaign has no design yet.

**Content rules:**

* MJML must pass strict validation. For a validation error, the message gives the line of each problem.
* Images and stylesheets must use full `https://` URLs, such as `https://example.com/logo.png`. The API refuses relative paths, such as `images/logo.png`, and `http:`, `//`, `data:`, `cid:` and other schemes. A URL that starts with a template variable, such as `{{ logo_url }}`, is allowed. The API cannot upload files.
* The MJML, the HTML and a text written by hand can each be at most 200 KB.
* The HTML must have an unsubscribe link before you can send the campaign. See [Unsubscribe link](/docs/api-reference/campaigns/overview#unsubscribe-link).

**Sender, subject and lists:**

* `from.email` must be on a domain of your account with valid DNS records. A paused domain is accepted here, but Send Campaign and Test Campaign refuse it.
* `reply_to` is an address only, without a display name.
* In `subject` and `preheader`, line breaks become spaces, and spaces at the start and end are removed. An empty subject or preview text counts as none.
* The API checks the subject, the preview text, the sender and the reply-to by the same rules as the dashboard, and its error messages use the same words.
* `list_ids` holds 1 to 50 lists of your account, in the order you give. A list that you give twice counts once. A list that does not exist is refused with `400`. To find the ID of a list, use [List Lists](/docs/api-reference/lists/get-lists), or see [where to find a list's ID](/docs/api-reference/campaigns/overview#build-and-send-a-campaign) in the dashboard.

This operation accepts an `Idempotency-Key` header. See [Idempotency](/docs/api-reference/idempotency).

    - `suppressions:wipe` - Delete the account's suppressions except protected
    ones (dangerous)


    ### Template Scopes

    published versions, and campaign templates

    - `templates:write` - Create and update transactional templates, and
    publish, discard and restore their drafts; create and update campaign
    templates

    - `templates:delete` - Delete transactional templates and campaign templates

    - `campaigns:write` - Create, update and duplicate campaigns

    - `campaigns:delete` - Delete draft campaigns

    - `campaigns:send` - Send, unschedule and test-send campaigns


    ### Contact Scopes

    - `contacts:read` - Read contacts

    - `contacts:write` - Create and update contacts

    - `contacts:delete` - Delete contacts


    ### Contact lifecycle and attributes

    Contacts are account-global. A contact created through this API joins no

    list on its own; campaigns target lists, so add it to one with the Lists

    endpoints before a campaign can reach it.

    Contact subscription state and suppression records are independent:

    creating, updating, unsubscribing, resubscribing, or deleting a contact

    never creates, changes, or removes complaint, permanent, or protected

    suppressions. Prefer unsubscribe over delete when the goal is only to stop

    marketing mail, because unsubscribe is reversible and preserves contact

    history.


    Writable attribute keys and types come from the account's contact-attribute

    definitions managed in the dashboard; this API does not expose property

    definition CRUD. Writes accept only canonical values for those definitions,

    while reads remain legacy-safe and can return any recursively nested JSON

    value previously stored.


    An email used as `{id_or_email}` is a raw SDK argument and must be

    percent-encoded exactly once as a URL path segment by an HTTP client. For

    example, do not pre-encode `user+tag@example.com` before passing it to an

    SDK that encodes path parameters.


    ### List Scopes

    - `lists:read` - Read lists and list membership

    - `lists:write` - Create and update lists, and add or remove their contacts

    - `lists:delete` - Delete lists


    ### Lists and membership

    A list is a static, private, single opt-in container of contacts, and it is

    what a campaign targets. A membership carries its own `subscription_status`

    (`unconfirmed`, `confirmed`, `unsubscribed`, or `complained`), which is

    per-list consent and is independent of the contact's account-wide

    `unsubscribed` flag. A membership created without a status named is

    `confirmed`, because that is what a campaign reaches. `complained` is the

    mailbox provider's verdict, never writable, and a membership holding it is

    frozen.


    Deleting a list keeps its memberships, so an unsubscribe survives it.

    Removing a contact from a list deletes the membership row and discards that

    record with it, which is why unsubscribing is the reversible way to stop

    marketing mail on one list. Expanding a list's members with

    `include_contacts=true` requires `contacts:read` in addition to

    `lists:read`.


    ### SMTP Credentials Scopes

    - `smtp-credentials:read:all` - Read all SMTP credentials

    - `smtp-credentials:read:{domain}` - Read SMTP credentials for a specific
    domain

    - `smtp-credentials:write:all` - Create SMTP credentials

    - `smtp-credentials:write:{domain}` - Create SMTP credentials for a specific
    domain

    - `smtp-credentials:delete:all` - Delete any SMTP credentials

    - `smtp-credentials:delete:{domain}` - Delete SMTP credentials for a
    specific domain


    ### Statistics Scopes

    - `statistics-transactional:read:all` - Read all transactional statistics

    - `statistics-transactional:read:{domain}` - Read transactional statistics
    for a specific domain


    ### API Key Scopes

    - `api-keys:read` - Read API keys

    - `api-keys:write` - Create and update API keys

    - `api-keys:delete` - Delete API keys


    ### Sub-Account Scopes

    - `sub-accounts:read` - List and read sub accounts under the parent

    - `sub-accounts:write` - Create and update sub accounts

    - `sub-accounts:delete` - Soft-delete sub accounts

    - `sub-accounts:suspend` - Pause and resume sub accounts, and unpause their
    domains

    - `sub-accounts:usage` - Read per-sub-account usage and allocated cost

    - `sub-account-api-keys:read` - List and read API keys owned by sub accounts

    - `sub-account-api-keys:write` - Create and update API keys owned by sub
    accounts

    - `sub-account-api-keys:delete` - Delete API keys owned by sub accounts


    ## Rate Limiting

    - General API endpoints: 100 requests per second, 200 burst

    - Statistics endpoints: 1 request per second, 1 burst


    ## Pagination

    List endpoints use cursor-based pagination with the following parameters:

    - `limit`: Maximum number of items to return (default: 100, max: 100)

    - `after`: Pass `pagination.next_cursor` to fetch the next page

    - `before`: Pass `pagination.previous_cursor` to fetch the previous page


    `after` and `before` are mutually exclusive. A legacy `cursor` query may be

    accepted by parts of the server for backwards compatibility, but it is not

    part of the v2 public contract.


    ## Time Formats

    All timestamps must be in RFC3339 format, e.g., `2023-12-25T10:30:00Z`


    ## Idempotency

    The operations that explicitly declare the optional `Idempotency-Key`

    header support idempotency. Other POST operations do not gain idempotency

    implicitly. When the header is provided:

    - A fresh execution does not return `Idempotent-Replayed`.

    - A completed stored response is replayed with its original status and body
      and `Idempotent-Replayed: true`.
    - An unexpired in-progress execution returns HTTP 409 with
      `Idempotent-Replayed: false` and a positive integer `Retry-After` header.
    - Reusing a key with a different HTTP method, resolved request path, or
      request body returns HTTP 422. That response has neither
      `Idempotent-Replayed` nor `Retry-After`.
    - For ordinary idempotent operations, deterministic 2xx and 4xx outcomes
      produced after the idempotency middleware are stored and replayed.
      Authentication and IP-allow-list failures happen before idempotency and
      are therefore not stored.
    - The two secret-bearing API-key create operations use manual encrypted
      completion. They store and replay a successful 201, including the same
      one-time `secret_key`; a controller-produced 4xx is not stored and leaves
      the key in progress until its execution lease expires.
    - Server errors (5xx), handler failures, and panics are not stored. The key
      is released so retrying the same request with the same key re-executes it.
      The v2 API does not use an HTTP 412 failed-key tombstone.
    - Idempotency keys for non-secret responses expire after 24 hours.

    - Encrypted API-key creation replay responses expire after 5 minutes.


    ## IP Allow Lists

    Each API key can carry an `ip_allow_list`: a set of source IPs that restrict
    where the key may authenticate from.

    - Entries are CIDR blocks (e.g. `203.0.113.0/24`) or bare IPv4/IPv6
    addresses (stored as a `/32` or `/128`). They are canonicalized and
    de-duplicated; the allow-all prefixes `0.0.0.0/0` and `::/0` are rejected,
    and at most 100 entries are allowed after de-duplication (a longer list is
    rejected with HTTP 400).

    - An empty list (the default) places no restriction.

    - When the list is non-empty, any authenticated request whose client IP is
    not covered by an entry is rejected with HTTP 403 on every v2 endpoint,
    regardless of the key's scopes.

    - Manage the list with the `ip_allow_list` field on the API-key create and
    update endpoints (including the sub-account API-key endpoints).

    - When a key updates its own `ip_allow_list` to a value that excludes the
    caller's current IP, the update is rejected with HTTP 409 to prevent
    self-lockout. Updating a sub-account key from a parent key has no such
    guard.

      summary: Create Campaign
      description: |
        Creates a draft marketing campaign. Every field but `name` is
        optional and can be set later with Update Campaign; the campaign
        answers its `issues` until it is ready to send.

        The design comes from `content` (`content.mjml` makes an `advanced`
        design and `content.html` an `html` one), from an `editor` alone (an
        empty design the dashboard's editor opens), or from a campaign
        template named by `template_id`, which the campaign copies. MJML is
        compiled in strict mode, and HTML must use full `https://` URLs for
        its images and stylesheets: the API cannot upload files.

        The subject, preview text, sender and reply-to are checked by the
        rules of the dashboard, and their refusals use the dashboard's
        sentences.

        An identical request with a completed stored outcome returns the

        - `simple`: designed with the dashboard's simple editor. Its HTML is

      description: |
        The content of a template write. It holds at most one of `mjml` and
        `html`, and at least one of `mjml`, `html` and `text`. The `content`
        of an `advanced` or `html` draft, or of the Template when it has no
        draft, can be sent back as it is: an `mjml` or `html` equal to the
        current one is held to the size limit but not compiled again or held
        to the HTML checks, and keeps the stored HTML. While a draft exists,
        the Template's `content` is the published copy's, and sending it back
        replaces the draft's design. Leave `content` out of a write that does
        not change it. For a `simple` template, send back only `text`: its
        `html` can be changed only in the dashboard.

        The text follows these rules:
        - Beside a new `mjml` or `html`, a missing `text` keeps the draft's
          text when it is custom, and that text must still render, as a sent
          text must; otherwise, and on a create, it makes the text from the
          new HTML. A null `text` makes the text from the new
          HTML, and so does a `text` equal to a text made from an earlier
          HTML: the draft's made text, or the published copy's made text when
          the draft does not hold that text as custom. A read `content` can
          so be sent back with a changed design. Any other `text` is stored
          as made when it equals the text made from the new HTML, and as
          custom otherwise. To keep a made text beside a new design, send the
          design first and the text in a second request.
        - Otherwise a `text` equal to the draft's custom text keeps it; one
          equal to the text made from the draft's HTML is stored as made; any
          other is stored as custom. A null `text` makes the text again from
          the draft's HTML, and is refused when there is no HTML.

        Line ends written as CRLF are stored as LF, and a blank text is
        refused. `mjml`, `html` and a custom `text` each have a size limit.
