Authorization: Bearer $SCOUTY_TOKEN

Path parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`campaignId`	`integer`	Required	The campaign.

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.
`memberIds`	`integer[]`	Required	The creators to put in the chat, by the ids scouty_list_applicants reports. From 2 to 30, each on the campaign: an applicant, a signed creator or somebody activating.

403 Forbidden	`insufficient_scope` `wrong_principal`	The token does not carry the scope this capability needs.

409 Conflict	`idempotency_conflict`	That idempotency key was already used for a different request. Nothing was changed.
