# Add keep-in-touch cadences in bulk (v2)

`POST /v2/keep-in-touch/cadences/batch-create`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.prod.getdex.com`
- URL: `https://api.prod.getdex.com/v2/keep-in-touch/cadences/batch-create`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Add the Team cadence (`kind: 'team'`; owners, admins and standard members) or the caller's own My cadence (`kind: 'my'`; every member, viewers included) on one frequency to up to 1000 contacts (`contact_ids`). A contact that already has a cadence of that kind is skipped and keeps it unchanged (`skipped_existing_contact_ids`); a missing, archived or other-workspace contact is skipped too (`not_found_contact_ids`). Due dates are computed by the server. 400 `frequency_not_found`; a viewer's Team batch is refused like the single create. The contacts are written in pages that commit independently, so a failed request may have added some cadences: retrying the same body is safe. Workspace-only: send the `X-Dex-Workspace` header (400 `workspace_context_required` without it). **Requires an `Idempotency-Key` header**. Returns `{ data: { cadences: [...], skipped_existing_contact_ids, not_found_contact_ids } }` with status 201.
