Create campaign

Creates a campaign as a DRAFT and returns it.

Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/campaign`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_campaign`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Creates a campaign as a DRAFT and returns it.

A draft is inert: nothing is sent, no connector is touched and no budget is committed until the campaign is launched. The channels named here are validated and de-duplicated by kind (one executor per kind), and every channel starts "pending" whatever the caller claims — a client can never assert a launched state.

Request

12 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`audience`	body	string	—	Audience is the segment or audience selector this campaign targets.
`budget`	body	integer (int64)	—	Budget is the campaign's total budget in CENTS.
`channels`	body	campaign.ChannelSpec[]	—	Channels are the fan-out targets, at most one per kind (paid, organic, email) and at most 12.
`channels[].account`	body	string	—	Account is the provider account this channel runs under: an ad-account, a page or a mailing-list id.
`channels[].detail`	body	string	—	Detail is the last outcome in one secret-free line — the failure reason, or what the executor reported.
`channels[].externalId`	body	string	—	ExternalID is the provider-side id of the running execution, recorded by the orchestrator at launch and handed back verbatim to read spend or to pause.
`channels[].kind`	body	string	—	Kind is the channel and the identity a campaign holds at most one of: paid, organic or email.
`channels[].platform`	body	string	—	Platform is the provider within the kind — meta, google, x, instagram, or the email provider.
`channels[].status`	body	string	—	Status is this channel's own launch outcome, not the campaign's: pending (added, never launched), live, paused, failed (Detail says why) or unavailable (no executor wired on this deployment).
`content`	body	string[]	—	Content is the ordered creative set.
`name`	body	string	—	Name is the campaign's display name.
`scheduleAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	ScheduleAt is when the campaign should run, in unix seconds.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning

201 body — 16 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`audience`	body	string	—	Audience is an opaque reference to the segment this campaign targets.
`budget`	body	integer (int64)	—	Budget is the campaign's total budget in CENTS, handed to each executor as the budget for its channel.
`channels`	body	campaign.ChannelSpec[]	—	Channels are the fan-out targets, at most one per kind and at most 12, each carrying its own post-launch state.
`channels[].account`	body	string	—	Account is the provider account this channel runs under: an ad-account, a page or a mailing-list id.
`channels[].detail`	body	string	—	Detail is the last outcome in one secret-free line — the failure reason, or what the executor reported.
`channels[].externalId`	body	string	—	ExternalID is the provider-side id of the running execution, recorded by the orchestrator at launch and handed back verbatim to read spend or to pause.
`channels[].kind`	body	string	—	Kind is the channel and the identity a campaign holds at most one of: paid, organic or email.
`channels[].platform`	body	string	—	Platform is the provider within the kind — meta, google, x, instagram, or the email provider.
`channels[].status`	body	string	—	Status is this channel's own launch outcome, not the campaign's: pending (added, never launched), live, paused, failed (Detail says why) or unavailable (no executor wired on this deployment).
`content`	body	string[]	—	Content is the ordered creative set, at most 32, empty entries dropped.
`createdAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	CreatedAt is when the campaign was created, in unix seconds.
`id`	body	string	—	ID is the campaign's server-minted handle — "cmp_" and 128 random bits — and the id every other campaign call is addressed by.
`name`	body	string	—	Name is the campaign's display name.
`scheduleAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	ScheduleAt is when the campaign should run, in unix seconds.
`status`	body	string	—	Status is the lifecycle state, server-owned and never accepted from a caller.
`updatedAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	UpdatedAt is the last write in unix seconds — an edit, a launch or a pause.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches campaign through the campaign tool, which names its 9 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_campaigns"
         }
       }
     }'
