# Activate Newsletter

`POST /newsletters/{newsletter_id}/activate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/newsletters/{newsletter_id}/activate`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Take a draft newsletter live. LAUNCH-CLASS.

Once active, the scheduler will send any issue whose scheduled time has
passed - so this is not a metadata change, it is the switch that lets mail
leave the building. Gated on `campaigns:launch`, the same permission the
in-app route requires.

## Path parameters

- `newsletter_id` string, uuid, required: Newsletter id (UUID).

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable
- `X-Target-Org-Id` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ApiResponseNewsletterPayload
  - `data` NewsletterPayload, required: An open envelope for a newsletter, an issue, a template or a send row.
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items
    - `has_next` boolean, required: Whether there are more pages
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
