Instructions

Creates a new content plan in the authenticated user's active team.

Starting stage by source:

  • user_added, cora_requested, playbook -> starts at Accepted
  • cora_proactive -> starts at Suggested
  • workflow -> starts at Suggested (by default)

The default source is cora_requested when omitted. source and source_metadata are immutable after creation.

Optional pre-attachments: You can pre-attach reference_document_ids (content UUIDs), context_collection_ids (integer IDs), and targeting_dimension_ids (integer dimension option IDs) at creation time.

Blueprint prompt: Use the prompt field to pre-populate the content creation form when this plan is acted on.

Client-supplied UUID: Pass plan_uuid to supply your own UUIDv4 for optimistic creates; the server generates one if omitted.

Use list_content_categories to get category_id values, list_context_collections for context_collection_ids, list_targeting_dimensions for targeting_dimension_ids, and list_blueprints for blueprint_id.
