Reject broadcast

Return a broadcast that is awaiting approval, or already approved but not yet scheduled, to draft with a reason. The approval and submission are cleared, so it must be submitted and approved again.

Outcome

Return a broadcast that is awaiting approval, or already approved but not yet scheduled, to draft with a reason. The approval and submission are cleared, so it must be submitted and approved again.

Before you start

Verify identity and pin the intended organization and environment before discovering the action.
Discover a granted Nurture workspace. The application permission is workspace:write; required workspace access is read_write. A permission alone does not supply a workspace grant.
Organization and workspace come from verified context. Select resourceType/resourceId separately from action input; body fields cannot grant a different organization or workspace. The first authorized product action can initialize an identity-only workspace mirror.
Obtain authorization for the documented effect or personal-data export before supplying CLI --confirm or MCP confirm:true.

Discover the target

topolo whoami --json
topolo actions get app_topolo_nurture.broadcasts.reject --detail --json
topolo resources topolo-nurture --json
topolo workspaces list topolo-nurture --json
topolo actions get app_topolo_nurture.broadcasts.list --detail --json

id: broadcasts record id in the selected workspace.

Request

POST /api/broadcasts/{id}/reject

Save action input as payload.json. The reviewed plan separates path identifiers, query fields and HTTP body. Set NURTURE_WORKSPACE_ID from granted resource discovery; it is separate from action input.

Inspect and test this action in the signed action console. A test response still requires the verification below.

Input fields

Field	Required	Type	Constraints
`id`	Required	string	broadcasts record id in the selected workspace. {"minLength":1,"maxLength":64}
`reason`	Required	string	{"minLength":1,"maxLength":500}

Effects

Moves the broadcast back to draft and records rejectedBy and rejectionReason.

Interpret the response

The returned identifier path is $.broadcast.id for broadcast. Empty lists do not discover a target.

Call app_topolo_nurture.broadcasts.get and confirm status draft and rejectionReason.

Worked examples

Actual dispatcher and migration-created SQLite or Worker handlers; identity/workspace and external service dependencies are simulated. Fixture identifiers and timestamps are synthetic. These responses establish no live authorization, paid generation, credential provisioning or message delivery. Replace synthetic identifiers using credential-scoped discovery. A local success is not evidence of a deployed effect, configured provider or delivered message.

Successful request

Actual dispatcher and migration-created SQLite; verified identity/workspace and external CRM, Engage, Notify, Consent, Nexus, Brand, Generator, Voice and delivery dependencies are simulated. No live authorization, paid generation or external delivery is established.

Errors and recovery

organization_required (HTTP 403): Select an organization available to the verified caller before choosing a Nurture workspace.
permission_denied (HTTP 403): Grant the credential the required Nurture workspace permission.
workspace_required (HTTP 409): Create a Nurture workspace, or pass the workspace resource context.
invalid_input (HTTP 422): Correct the fields named in error.details using inputSchema, then retry.
not_found (HTTP 404): List broadcasts to find a valid id in this workspace.
invalid_status (HTTP 409): Read the broadcast with app_topolo_nurture.broadcasts.get; error.details.expected lists the statuses this action accepts.

Auth or gateway failures may precede this handler. Preserve the exact response shape, error string/code, request id and credential context; no synthetic fixture establishes live credential access.

Recovery boundary

Fix the draft, then submit it again.

Update broadcast draft: Change a draft broadcast's name, template, pinned templateVersion (null = current version at submit), topic, segments, schedule or throttlePerHour (null = unthrottled). Only drafts can change; reject a pending or approved broadcast back to draft first. Changing templateId clears the pinned version unless one is given. schedule is {mode:"now"} (default), {mode:"at", sendAt ISO-8601} or {mode:"recipient_local", date YYYY-MM-DD, time HH:MM, fallbackTimezone IANA}: recipient_local sends at that wall-clock time in each contact's own zone, using fallbackTimezone when the contact has none.
Submit broadcast for approval: Submit a draft for approval. Checks that the topic and every segment are active, the schedule is still ahead, and the template renders without errors; pins the template version (the given one, else the current one) so the approver reviews exactly what will be sent. The submitter is recorded and cannot approve it.

Evidence

Actual dispatcher and migration-created SQLite or Worker handlers; identity/workspace and external service dependencies are simulated. Fixture identifiers and timestamps are synthetic. These responses establish no live authorization, paid generation, credential provisioning or message delivery. Test scenario and capture digests are retained with each fixture.
