Creating a campaign using the API

You can create a campaign by providing the name of the data model and the campaign configuration. You can include the campaign name. It must then match the pattern ^[a-z][a-z\d\-]*$.

The response contains the field id, which is useful for editing the campaign afterward.

In this example, Talend API Tester is used to send requests.

For further information about Talend API Tester, see Talend Cloud API Tester User Guide.
