# Send a manual publisher dispatch

`POST /admin/jobs/publisher-dispatch/send`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.presscart.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.presscart.com/admin/jobs/publisher-dispatch/send`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Admin-triggered "send now" for one or more dispatch-ready articles belonging to a team; enqueues a single publisher-order-send job for the whole selection, which the publisher receives as ONE thread carrying a message per article. `use_resend` routes a test send through Resend instead of Front and requires `recipient_override`: it applies to test sends only, so passing it without an override is rejected rather than ignored — a real dispatch always goes through Front. `sender_override` sets that test send's From; it requires both `recipient_override` and `use_resend` (a Front message is sent by the channel, whose From is not ours to set) and must be on the verified sending domain.

## Request body

  - `article_ids` string[], required

## Response `200`
