# Preview Ai Dm Reply

`POST /automations/ai-dm/preview`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.reeldrop.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.reeldrop.io/automations/ai-dm/preview`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Run an ai_dm brief against Gemini without touching Instagram. This is what
the builder's Review step talks to; the logic is shared with the MCP
preview_ai_dm tool — see automation_service.preview_ai_dm_reply.

## Query parameters

- `workspace_id` string, nullable: Workspace this request applies to. Defaults to the caller's personal workspace. Must be one the caller belongs to.

## Request body

- AiDmPreviewIn
  - `ai` AiDmConfig, required: The brief for an ai_dm automation: what the AI is trying to do, what it is allowed to know, and where it has to stop. Only read when trigger.type == "ai_dm". It is stored on every automation regardless so that toggling the trigger type in the builder never destroys a paragraph of typed context.
