# Create a product section

`POST /api/products/{productId}/sections`

## Path parameters

- `productId` string, required

## Request body

- SectionCreateRequest — Payload for creating a section. Requires only `name`.
  - `name` string, required

## Response `201`

Success.

- Section
  - `sectionId` string
  - `name` string
  - `rank` number
  - `collapsed` boolean
  - `drip` SectionDrip
    - `type` 'relative-date' | 'exact-date'
    - `status` boolean
    - `delayInMillis` number — Delay in milliseconds for `relative-date` drip. The input accepts a number interpreted as days (e.g. 3 = three days), but the value is persisted in millisecond equivalent (e.g. 259200000). The endpoint output always returns the stored millisecond value.
    - `dateInUTC` number — UNIX timestamp in milliseconds for `exact-date` drip. Both input and output use millisecond precision.
  - `lessonsOrder` string[]
