# Activate Campaign

`POST /v1/campaigns/{campaign_id}/activate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.theagentc.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.theagentc.io/v1/campaigns/{campaign_id}/activate`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Activate a draft (or completed) campaign so the scheduler starts dispatching
runs according to its cadence.

Computes `next_run_at` from the campaign's cadence. If the campaign has no
cadence, activation is still allowed but the scheduler will treat it as a
one-shot (next dispatch will mark it completed).

## Path parameters

- `campaign_id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- CampaignStatusChange: Response for status change operations (pause/resume).
  - `id` string, uuid, required
  - `status` string, required
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
  - `message` string, required

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
