Campaigns
Create campaigns and sequences, manage senders, A/B variants, attachments, ramp and tracking settings, preflight checks, and start or stop sends.
Campaigns are the cold outreach unit in SendSets. A campaign holds sending rules, a schedule, a sender pool, and an ordered list of sequence steps (email or action nodes). These endpoints cover campaign CRUD, the advanced outreach overrides, per-step A/B variants, attachments, the explicit sender pool, preflight and test sends, start and stop, activity logs, campaign-scoped tracking-domain verification, the nested sequence editor, the template preview helper, and the AI writing assistant.
All errors follow the shared {error, message, code, request_id} envelope documented in error codes. Authentication and the scope model are covered in authentication and permissions.

}Campaigns overview
GET /campaigns-overview
Status-bucket counts plus per-folder totals for the organization, used to drive campaign browsing UIs. paused sums every paused variant (paused, paused_no_accounts, paused_trial_expired); one_time counts campaigns of that kind whatever their status. The path has no campaign id, so it lives beside /campaigns rather than under it. Scope READ_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission view_campaigns.

}Estimate a send
POST /campaigns-estimate
Project an audience against a sender pool before a campaign exists: how many contacts the segments resolve to, how many mailboxes would send, the pool's daily ceiling under the campaign limit, and the day the last send is expected to land. Nothing is written, so it needs no Idempotency-Key. The dashboard's one-time email wizard shows this on its last step. Scope READ_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission view_campaigns.
Request body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
segment_ids | string[] | yes | Segments making up the audience (at most 20). A contact in several of them is counted once. |
email_tag_ids | string[] | no | Mailbox tags that resolve the pool. Omit or send [] for every active mailbox in the workspace. |
daily_limit | integer | no | Per-mailbox campaign cap to apply (defaults to 50). Each mailbox counts the smaller of this and its own cap. |
days | integer (0-127) | no | Weekday bitmask of sending days, bit 0 = Monday. Defaults to weekdays. |
timezone | string | no | IANA timezone the days are counted in. Defaults to UTC. |
start_date | string (RFC 3339) | no | When sending begins. Omit for now. |
Response
sending_days and estimated_finish_at are null when the audience is empty, the pool has no capacity, or the send would take longer than two years. Today only contributes what the pool has not already sent (remaining_today).

}Create a campaign
POST /campaigns
Create a campaign. Only name is required, every other field is optional and applied only when sent (the wizard sends everything at once, a simple modal can send just {name, description} and get sane defaults). Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns.
Request body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | yes | Campaign name. |
description | string | no | Free-text description. |
kind | string | no | sequence (default) or one_time. A one-time email accepts at most one entry in steps here and refuses further email steps later; it is otherwise a normal campaign. Fixed at creation. |
stop_on_reply | boolean | no | Stop sending to a contact once they reply. |
open_tracking | boolean | no | Insert the open pixel. |
link_tracking | boolean | no | Rewrite links through the tracking ticket service. Each link gets its own ticket, so clicks are attributed per link. |
utm_tracking | boolean | no | Tag every link with utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign and a per-link utm_content at send time. Default false. Values already on a link are kept. |
utm_source | string | no | Overrides the default sendsets. Empty means the default. Up to 128 characters. |
utm_medium | string | no | Overrides the default email. Empty means the default. |
utm_campaign | string | no | Overrides the default, the campaign name as a slug. Empty means the default. |
text_only | boolean | no | Send plain text only: no HTML part, and open and click tracking are off regardless of their flags. |
daily_limit | integer | no | Per-campaign daily send cap. |
unsubscribe_header | boolean | no | Add the RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe header. |
risky_emails | boolean | no | Allow sending to risky/unverified addresses. |
cc | string[] | no | Static CC list. |
bcc | string[] | no | Static BCC list. |
start_date | string (RFC 3339), nullable | no | Earliest send time. Today or later; omit or send null to start as soon as the campaign is active. |
end_date | string (RFC 3339), nullable | no | Latest send time. Must be in the future; omit or send null for an open-ended campaign. |
timezone | string | no | IANA timezone for the schedule. |
days | integer (0-127) | no | Legacy weekday bitmask (superseded by schedule_windows). |
start_time | string | no | Legacy daily start (HH:MM). |
end_time | string | no | Legacy daily end (HH:MM). |
schedule_windows | array | no | Per-day sending windows, 7 arrays indexed by weekday (Sunday = 0) of {start, end} minute-of-day intervals. When non-empty it supersedes days, start_time and end_time. |
email_tag_ids | string[] | no | Mailbox tag ids that resolve the sender pool (tags strategy). |
folder_ids | string[] | no | Folder ids to file the campaign under. |
sender_strategy | string | no | tags (default) or explicit. tags resolves the pool from email_tag_ids, and falls back to every active mailbox in the workspace when no tag and no explicit sender is set. explicit sends from the mailboxes in senders, plus any email_tag_ids set alongside them. It never falls back to every active mailbox, so a pool that empties out parks the campaign at paused_no_accounts instead of widening to the whole workspace. |
rotation_mode | string | no | How volume spreads across the chosen mailboxes. |
senders | object[] | no | Explicit-strategy mailbox pool (see sender input below). |
ramp_enabled | boolean | no | Enable per-campaign daily ramp-up. |
ramp_start | integer | no | Ramp starting volume. |
ramp_increment | integer | no | Daily ramp increment. |
ramp_ceiling | integer | no | Ramp ceiling (never raises above the per-mailbox cap). |
esp_match_mode | string | no | off, prefer, or strict. |
max_new_leads_per_day | integer | no | New-lead throttle, 0 is unlimited. |
prioritize_new_leads | boolean | no | Prefer new leads in each send window. |
entry_delay_minutes | integer | no | Hold a contact's first email this long after they entered the campaign. 0 (the default) sends it as soon as the schedule and mailbox limits allow; the maximum is 129600 (90 days). Follow-up spacing is unaffected: that is each step's wait_after. |
continuous | boolean | no | Keep running for new leads: out of leads, the campaign stays active and waits instead of finishing. Linking a segment, a form or an automation that enrols leads turns it on, and so does starting a campaign whose every lead has finished. Default false. |
tracking_domain | string | no | Campaign-scoped tracking domain (honored only once verified). |
steps | object[] | no | Initial sequence steps in order (see create sequence input below). They are connected in order: each step routes unconditionally to the next, waiting that step's wait_after days. The first step's wait_after defaults to 0, follow-ups to 3. A step given no subject, or the same one as the conversation so far, defaults to thread_reply: true and is sent as a reply carrying that conversation's subject; a step with a subject of its own defaults to false and opens a new conversation. Set thread_reply explicitly to override either. |
variants | object[] | no | A/B variants for the first step (same shape as create A/B variant). |
advanced_overrides | object | no | Advanced outreach overrides, see advanced settings. |
schedule_windows may also be supplied as a 7-element array (indexed by time.Weekday, Sunday = 0) of {start, end} minute intervals. When non-empty it supersedes days/start_time/end_time.
A listed step can be a non-email node: kind is action or wait, and action is the node's config ({"type": "app_action", "app_connection_id", "path", "output_key", "inputs"}, {"type": "wait_for_event", "wait_event_name", "timeout_minutes"}, {"type": "wait", "wait_minutes"}, or any other action type). Listed steps are still connected in order, routed by outcome for a durable node: an app_action continues on success and stops on error; a wait_for_event continues on event and, on timeout, continues unless on_timeout is stop. A step given conditions keeps them verbatim instead. See app connections and product events.

Response
A Campaign object (see the list shape).
Update a campaign
PATCH /campaigns/:id
Patch any subset of campaign fields. Omitted fields are left unchanged. The explicit sender list is edited through replace senders, only the sender_strategy/rotation_mode toggles ride this PATCH. Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns.
| Parameter | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | path | uuid | Campaign id. |
Request body
Every field is optional. Scalar fields use nullable pointers, so any field you send is applied. start_date and end_date additionally accept an explicit null to clear the stored date: a null start_date means "start now" and a null end_date means "run open-ended". Changing any schedule field (start_date, end_date, timezone, days, start_time, end_time, schedule_windows, entry_delay_minutes) on an active campaign reschedules its next send immediately, so clearing a future start date or shortening the entry delay takes effect right away. Notable fields: name, description, status, stop_on_reply, open_tracking, link_tracking, text_only, daily_limit, unsubscribe_header, risky_emails, cc, bcc, start_date, end_date, timezone, days, start_time, end_time, schedule_windows, email_tags, folders, contact_order_by, contact_order_dir, contact_order_field, sender_strategy, rotation_mode, ramp_enabled, ramp_start, ramp_increment, ramp_ceiling, esp_match_mode, max_new_leads_per_day, prioritize_new_leads, entry_delay_minutes, continuous, tracking_domain, utm_tracking, utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign.
entry_delay_minutes is anchored on when each contact entered the campaign, not on when the campaign started, so a contact enrolled by a linked segment next week waits the same amount from their own arrival. Leads that were in the campaign before the field existed count from the campaign's created_at, so turning a delay on never re-delays leads that have been enrolled for weeks.
A campaign with continuous set stays active when it runs out of leads and carries idle_since while it waits; the timestamp clears once it has something to send. A continuous campaign can be started with no leads at all; starting one that is not continuous and has never had a lead answers 400 no_leads. Starting a campaign that has at least one lead and nothing left to send, because every lead has finished the sequence, turns continuous on and waits for leads (see start a campaign). Adding a lead to a completed campaign by any path (this API, a linked segment, an automation) restarts it through the same launch checks as starting it by hand; a refused restart is written to the campaign's activity log.

Delete a campaign
DELETE /campaigns/:id
Permanently delete a campaign. Any member of the workspace with the permission can delete any of its campaigns, not only the ones they created. Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns.
A running campaign does not need to be paused first: its pending tasks (the parked wakeup and any send not yet handed to a worker) are cancelled in the same transaction that removes the campaign, so nothing keeps sending for it. A send already in a worker's hands finishes, and its result is discarded.
What is removed with the campaign: steps, leads and their progress, the activity log, senders, A/B variants, advanced settings, daily counters, preflight reports and attachment files. What stays: contacts, emails already sent (still in the inbox and in reply threads), suppression entries, deals and bookings (their campaign link is cleared), and tracked links, so a recipient who clicks a link in an email sent earlier is still redirected.
| Parameter | In | Type | Description |

Response

Duplicate a campaign
POST /campaigns/:id/duplicate
Create a new draft campaign from an existing campaign's configuration. Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns. Counts against the same daily new-campaign throttle as create.
Copied: name (suffixed with (copy) unless you pass one), description, every sending, tracking, schedule, rotation, ramp, ESP-matching and auto-pause setting, the steps with their subjects, bodies, waits, canvas positions and branch graph (rewired onto the new step ids), email tags, folders, the explicit sender list, A/B variants, advanced settings and attachments.
Not copied: leads, progress, sent/open/click/reply statistics, the activity log, daily counters, tasks, the ramp level, an auto-pause trip, and any start or end date already in the past (a past end date would finish the copy the moment it starts). Sender rotation cursors start from zero. The copy is owned by the caller and starts as draft; it never sends until it is started.
| Parameter | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | path | uuid | Campaign to copy. |
Request body
Optional.

For a step-scoped test the step's own email is the Original (control) arm. By default it carries an even share, but you can give it an explicit share by creating one is_control: true variant on that step_id whose weight is the Original's share. That row's subject/body are ignored; when the control wins, the step's own content is sent. Control rows are excluded from the A/B analysis variant list.

}Test the campaign with one prospect
POST /campaigns/:id/test
Walk one prospect through the whole campaign on the real runtime: every email step goes out from the campaign's mailbox to the prospect, every app_action calls your app, and every wait_for_event holds until that event arrives for the prospect (POST /events) or its window closes. Delays, sending windows and other action kinds (tags, CRM writes, notifications) are skipped. The prospect becomes a contact of the workspace but not a lead of the campaign, so a later launch never mails it. Real mail is sent, so this sits behind the send permission. Scope SEND_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission send_campaigns.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prospect_email | string (email) | one of | The address to walk through the campaign. |
contact_id | uuid | one of | An existing contact instead. |
mailbox_id | uuid | no | The mailbox to send from; default the campaign's first active sender. |
Response: 202 Accepted with the run. state is running, waiting_for_event, completed, failed or cancelled; steps[] is the log (step_id, name, kind, state, outcome, detail, output, error), app_variables the captured .App object so far, and waiting_event the event a waiting run needs. A run that ends in failed carries error with run_failed and a fix. A wait that receives nothing for 24 hours (or the step's own timeout, if shorter) fails the run.

Send a test email
POST /campaigns/:id/test-email
Send a one-off test of a sequence step to a chosen recipient through a chosen mailbox. The message is assembled the way a real send is: merge fields and spintax resolve for the contact, the files that step sends are attached (the campaign's unscoped attachments plus that step's own), the mailbox signature and the campaign's opt-out footer are appended, and a plain-text campaign ships without an HTML part. The subject is prefixed with [TEST]. Opens and clicks on a test are never tracked, and its opt-out link names no contact, so clicking it suppresses nobody. Defaults to the first step when step_id is omitted. Scope SEND_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission send_campaigns.
The mailbox may be any mailbox of the organization, not only one the caller connected, and it does not have to be in the campaign's sender pool. An API key with an allowed_email_accounts list can only test from those mailboxes. Passing contact_id additionally requires READ_CONTACTS (org permission view_contacts), since the rendered copy reads that contact's fields.

|---|---|---|---|
id | path | uuid | Campaign id. |
Request body

account_id | uuid | yes | Sending mailbox id. |

Start a campaign
POST /campaigns/:id/start
Start (activate) the campaign so it begins sending real mail. Works from draft, any paused status, or completed (a campaign closed by a passed end date resumes once the date is extended or cleared). A campaign with nothing left to send does not finish again: the start turns continuous on if it was off, and the campaign goes active and waits for leads with idle_since set; the switch is written to its activity log. Scope SEND_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission send_campaigns.
| Parameter | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | path | uuid | Campaign id. |
acknowledge_list_risk | body | boolean | Optional. Launch even though the list's projected bounce rate would be refused (list_bounce_risk), for a list verified elsewhere. |
A start refused because every remaining lead was refused by address verification answers leads_undeliverable and parks the campaign at paused_undeliverable; re-verify the leads or mark them deliverable with POST /contacts/verification, which resumes it.
A campaign whose email step has nothing in either body is refused with empty_step_body rather than started, because it would send a blank message to every lead it reached.
Response
{ "status": "started", "waiting_for_leads": false }waiting_for_leads is true when the campaign started with nothing left to send and is now active with idle_since set.
Stop a campaign
POST /campaigns/:id/stop

Response
{ "status": "stopped" }Get a lead's hold
GET /campaigns/:id/leads/:contact_id/hold
Read whether one contact's flow inside this campaign is currently held. A hold parks the lead's next step without unsubscribing the contact and without removing them from the campaign; the two things that write one are an out-of-office auto-reply and a member pausing the lead by hand. Scope READ_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission view_campaigns.

}hold is absent when the lead is not held, including for a dated hold that has since expired. until is absent when the hold has no end, in which case only a resume lifts it. source is out_of_office or manual.

Pause a lead
POST /campaigns/:id/leads/:contact_id/pause
Hold one contact's flow inside one campaign. The contact stays subscribed and stays a lead; the sequence picks up where it stopped when the hold lifts. This is the per-contact lever between leaving a lead alone and the two permanent ones, unsubscribing the contact and adding the address to the suppression list. Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns.
The request states an absolute hold rather than applying a delta, and replacing a hold that is still live keeps its original start, so a retry lands on exactly the same row and no Idempotency-Key is needed.
| Parameter | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | path | uuid | Campaign id. |
contact_id | path | uuid | Contact id. Must already be a lead of the campaign. |
until | body | string | RFC 3339 timestamp the hold lifts at. Must be in the future and within a year. Omit or send null for a hold with no end, which only a resume lifts. |
reason | body | string | Optional note shown next to the hold in the dashboard. Trimmed and capped at 200 characters. |
A manual pause always wins: it replaces a hold an out-of-office auto-reply wrote, and a later auto-reply never shortens it or takes it over.
Request body
{ "until": "2026-09-21T17:00:00Z", "reason": "On holiday, asked to follow up later" }Response

Resume a lead
POST /campaigns/:id/leads/:contact_id/resume
Lift the hold now. The held time is dropped rather than carried, so the step returns to the schedule it would have had without the hold: the campaign's next pass when that moment has already passed, otherwise when the step's own wait elapses. The campaign's own wakeup is pulled forward with it, and a campaign that had finished while the lead was held is restarted through the usual launch checks. Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns.
Resuming a lead that is not held succeeds and changes nothing, so a retry is safe.

What that means depends on the campaign's sender_strategy: a tags campaign falls back to its tags or to every active mailbox, while an explicit one falls back to its tags only, and with none it is left with no mailbox to send from and parks itself at paused_no_accounts. |

Return the segments linked to the campaign as live audience sources. Scope READ_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission view_campaigns.
| Parameter | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | path | uuid | Campaign id. |
Response
A data array of link objects (no pagination wrapper). The counts are evaluated when you ask: contact_count is how many contacts the segment matches now, lead_count how many of them are leads of this campaign, and held_out_count how many are not leads because they were removed from the campaign by hand (see replace linked segments).

"held_out_count": 3,
"linked_at": "2026-06-10T12:00:00Z"
}
]
}Replace linked segments
PUT /campaigns/:id/segments
Atomically replace the campaign's linked segments with the supplied set (up to 20). Every current member of a newly linked segment is enrolled as a lead immediately, and contacts who enter a linked segment later are enrolled automatically, within about 2 minutes.
Removing a segment from the set withdraws the leads it enrolled, so replacing one segment with another leaves the campaign holding the new audience rather than both. A lead is only withdrawn when all three hold: a linked segment enrolled it (a lead added through any other path counts as chosen by hand and is never withdrawn), it is still a current member of a segment being removed and of none that stayed, and the campaign has not written to it yet (no step dispatched or sent). Nothing is recorded as a hand-made removal, so re-linking the segment enrols those members again. A contact who merely leaves a still-linked segment keeps their lead row; within a link, enrolment stays additive. A lead removed from the campaign by hand is never re-added automatically; a manual add (or the one-shot enrol below) clears that removal record. Omitting segment_ids returns 400; send an explicit empty array to detach every segment. An active campaign is woken to send to the new leads; a completed campaign is restarted through the full launch checks when a linked segment grows. A linked segment cannot be deleted (DELETE /segments/:id returns 409) until it is removed here. Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns.
| Parameter | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | path | uuid | Campaign id. |

|---|---|---|---|
segment_ids | uuid[] | yes | The full new set of linked segments, max 20. An empty array detaches them all. |
{
"segment_ids": ["4b9e...", "7c2f..."]
}Response
The resulting links plus what the call did to the campaign's leads. added is how many leads it enrolled, and is 0 when every member was already a lead, when the segments match no contacts yet, or when the only members are held out; the per-link counts tell these apart. withdrawn is how many leads a removed segment took back out, and contacted how many of that audience stayed because the campaign had already emailed them. The links, the withdrawal and the enrolment are written in one transaction, so a failure returns an error and changes nothing rather than 200 with added: 0.

| Parameter | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | path | uuid | Campaign id. |
sid | path | uuid | Sequence (step) id. |
Request body
All fields optional.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | string | no | Step label. |
subject | string | no | Subject template. |
body_plain | string | no | Plain-text body template. Leave it empty and the send path renders one from body_html, keeping list bullets, table rows and link destinations, and leaving out the stylesheet. |
body_html | string | no | HTML body template. Sent as written, including a whole document with its own <head>. Any <style> block is inlined onto the elements it matches at send time; see the sequences guide. Send body_plain on its own and the HTML part is rendered from it, because a step with a plain body and an empty HTML one would otherwise arrive blank: every modern client prefers the HTML alternative. A step that already has an HTML body is never overwritten. |
body_sync | boolean | no | Keep plain and HTML bodies in sync. |
body_code | boolean | no | The body is authored as raw HTML. The dashboard editor opens it as markup instead of parsing it into the visual editor, which keeps only what its schema can represent. It does not change what is sent. |
wait_after | integer | no | Days to wait before this step, counted from the contact's previous step (0 to 60). Spacing belongs to the target step, so there is no standalone wait node for email steps. |
thread_reply | boolean | no | Send this step as a reply on the conversation the contact is already in, rather than as a new email. Default true. A threading step carries the conversation's subject, so its own subject is only used once it is turned off. It has no effect on a contact's first email, which has nothing to reply to. |
conditions | object | no | The connections out of this step ({branches: [...]}), evaluated in order; a branch with no conditions is a plain "go there next" link. Routing follows connections only: a step with {} or no branches has no outgoing path and ends the flow for the contact. |
kind | string | no | email (default), action, or wait. |
action | object | no | Typed config for non-email nodes. type is the switch (wait, add_tag, remove_tag, add_to_segment, remove_from_segment (each with a segment_id), unsubscribe, notify, create_task, create_deal, move_deal_stage, run_automation, end), the remaining fields are type-scoped. |

Preview a template
POST /campaign-template-preview

Tracking pixels and link rewriting are left out. No side effects. Scope READ_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission view_campaigns.

campaign_id | uuid | no | Campaign of the organization whose opt-out footer, plain-text setting and attachments apply. The opt-out link in the preview names no contact. |
step_id | uuid | no | The step being previewed, so attachments lists what that step sends. Without it only the campaign-wide files are listed. |

Generate outreach copy with the AI writing assistant. Gated to paid and free-trial organizations, and each call consumes one AI credit (refunded if the provider call fails). Supports Idempotency-Key so a retried request is not double-charged. Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns.
Request body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string | yes | The instruction to generate from (max 8000 characters). |
tone | string | no | Desired tone (for example friendly, direct). |
{ "prompt": "Write a 3-line cold intro to a fintech founder about our deliverability tooling.", "tone": "direct" }Response
{
"text": "Hi {{first_name}},\n\nNoticed {{company}} is scaling outbound...\n\nWorth a quick chat?",
"credits_remaining": 248,
"model": "claude-..."
}When the organization is out of credits the endpoint returns 402 with code: "insufficient_credits" and the standard envelope. A depleted balance is checked before any provider call, so no completion is ever burned on a 402.
Preview an AI variable
POST /generation/ai-variable
Generate the recipient-specific snippet a per-recipient AI variable block would produce, for the campaign editor's preview. The prompt is rendered against a supplied contact (must belong to the organization) or a sample contact, then generated with the same framing the send path uses, including the surrounding email so the fragment fits. The charge is metered by usage (the model and tokens the snippet uses, plus any web lookup), refunded if the provider call fails, and Idempotency-Key is honored so a retried request is not double-charged. See the AI variables guide. Scope WRITE_CAMPAIGNS · Org permission manage_campaigns and use_ai.
Request body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
mode | string | no | instant (default) for a single fast completion, or research for the deeper, higher-cost path. |
prompt | string | yes | The block instruction, itself a template rendered against the contact (max 8000 characters). |
tone | string | no | Desired tone. |
web_search | boolean | no | Allow one bounded web lookup about the contact's company to enrich context. Implied by research. |
contact_id | string | no | A contact in the organization to render the prompt against. Omit to use a sample contact. |
context_before | string | no | The email text immediately before the block, so the fragment fits the sentence it lands in. |
context_after | string | no | The email text immediately after the block. |
{ "mode": "instant", "prompt": "One line noting something specific about {{company}}.", "contact_id": "4f6c..." }Response
{
"text": "Saw Acme just shipped its new billing API.",
"credits_remaining": 246,
"credits_charged": 1,
"tokens_used": 180,
"model": "claude-..."
}A contact_id that is not in the organization returns 404. When the organization is out of credits the endpoint returns 402 with code: "insufficient_credits", checked before any provider call.
