Add a knowledge source to a campaign's activation

Adds one knowledge source to a campaign's activation flow draft, as the dashboard's knowledge panel does: a Notion page or Google Docs link, or the text of a note. The steps are left as they are. A flow holds at most 10 sources. Nothing is published: Scouty answers from it once the flow is published.

Authorization: Bearer $SCOUTY_TOKEN

Path parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`campaignId`	`integer`	Required	The campaign whose activation flow this is about.

Headers

Name	Type	Required	Description
`Idempotency-Key`	`string`	Optional	The same key the body's idempotencyKey carries. Send one or the other, or both with the same value.

Body parameters

A JSON object, sent with Content-Type: application/json.

Name	Type	Required	Description
`idempotencyKey`	`string`	Required	A key you choose for this call, 8 to 128 characters of letters, digits, dot, underscore, colon or hyphen. Sending the same key with the same arguments replays the first answer and changes nothing, so a retry after a timeout is safe.
`reference`	`string`	Required	A Notion page or Google Docs link, or the text of a note. A link of any other kind is kept as a note.
`label`	`string`	Optional	What to call it on the dashboard. Named the way the dashboard names it when left out.

Errors

A refusal answers { "error": { "code", "message" } }. Branch on code; the message is for a person. Every error and its fix

Status	error.code	Meaning
400 Bad Request	`invalid_request`	The request was not the shape this capability takes, or its body was not JSON.
401 Unauthorized	`missing_token` `invalid_token` `token_revoked` `token_expired` `token_orphaned`	No token, or one that is not recognized, revoked or expired.
403 Forbidden	`insufficient_scope` `wrong_principal`	The token does not carry the scope this capability needs.
404 Not Found	`not_found`	No such route, or no such campaign for this client.
409 Conflict	`idempotency_conflict`	That idempotency key was already used for a different request. Nothing was changed.
429 Too Many Requests	`rate_limited`	Too many requests this minute. Retry-After says how long is left.
