Schedule API-triggered campaigns

post

/campaigns/trigger/schedule/create

core endpoint

Use this endpoint to send dashboard created campaign messages via API-triggered delivery, allowing you to decide what action should trigger the message to be sent.

You can pass in trigger_properties that will be templated into the message itself.

Note that to send messages with this endpoint, you must have a campaign ID, created when you build an API-triggered campaign.

See me in Postman

Prerequisites

To use this endpoint, you’ll need an API key with the campaigns.trigger.schedule.create permission.

Rate limit

When using Connected Audience filters in your request, we apply a rate limit of 250 requests per minute to this endpoint. Otherwise, if specifying an external_id, this endpoint has a default rate limit of 250,000 requests per hour shared between the endpoints documented in API rate limits.

Braze endpoints support batching API requests. A single request to the messaging endpoints can reach any of the following:

  • Up to 50 specific external_ids, each with individual message parameters
  • An audience segment of any size, defined in the request as a connected audience object
