Preview Draft Messages

Before sending, preview the generated messages (max 10):

GET {BASE_URL}/broadcast-campaigns/{id}/draft-messages?o={org_id}

Returns a collection of broadcast-messages with variable placeholders resolved per recipient, channels determined (invalid channels auto-removed if customer lacks email/mobile), and content localized.

Start the Campaign

GET {BASE_URL}/broadcast-campaigns/{id}/start?o={org_id}

Behavior depends on campaign config:

Scenario	What happens
No `scheduled_at`	Sends immediately
`scheduled_at` in the future	Queues for scheduled delivery
`recurring=true`	Calculates next run from `cron`, sends at that time, then reschedules

The campaign transitions through: scheduled → pending → in-progress → completed.Progress is tracked via sent_count, failed_count, and total_count attributes. These update in real-time (a WebSocket event broadcast-campaigns.updated fires every 5 messages and on completion).

Stop a Campaign

Reverts the campaign to draft and deletes all unsent (pending/draft) messages:

GET {BASE_URL}/broadcast-campaigns/{id}/stop?o={org_id}
