Approve a Campaign Plan
Approves a Campaign Plan and validates its draft Line Items. This opens the gate for execution: AdCrunch executes a line only after somebody validates it.
This call blocks on nothing. You can approve a plan with no budget, with more allocated than the envelope, or with parts missing. Approval is the human act, and execution makes its own checks.
This call creates nothing and spends nothing. To execute a line, use the mutation tools with the mutation:write permission.
A line that you add after the approval starts in draft, and it puts the plan back into draft. The answer is 409 with error=revision_mismatch if the plan changed after you read it.
/context/campaign-plans/{slug}/approveAuthorizationBearer token · headerrequiredSend Authorization: Bearer <credential>. Two credentials work.
An API key (acr_…) is what a server integration uses. Create one in the AdCrunch console under Settings → API keys — see https://docs.adcrunch.dev/account/api-keys. A key is bound to the organization that was active when you created it, and it keeps acting on that organization whatever you do later. It carries the permissions of the member who created it.
A session issued by the AdCrunch sign-in flow also works, which is how the console calls this service from the browser.
Either way the organization comes from the credential. There is no organization parameter.
slugstringrequiredapplication/jsonbase_revisionintegerrequiredThe revision last read via GET. This is what makes it an approval of the content that was read, rather than of whatever the row holds now.
The approved plan, and how many Line Items this call validated. Approving spends nothing and creates nothing — it opens the execution gate, and executing goes through the mutation tools on mutation:write.

Show propertiesHide properties
allocatednumber | nullrequiredThe sum of the Line Item budgets. null when the lines mix units, because that sum would be meaningless.
comparablebooleanrequiredFalse when the lines mix totals and daily rates. A surface must then print "not comparable" rather than a plausible-looking wrong total.
unallocatednumber | nullrequiredThe envelope less the allocated, where both are known.
unitstring | nullrequiredThe shared unit, when the lines agree on one.
totaldailybrandIdstring | nullrequiredNullable and mutable: a plan may precede its brand, cover a portfolio, or be re-pointed. Deleting a Brand leaves its plans standing.

No credential, or one that does not resolve. Send an API key or a session. See the security scheme. error is unauthorized.
errorstringrequiredA stable code for the failure. This is the field to branch on. It does not change for a given failure.

The caller does not hold campaign_plan:write. error is forbidden.
