Overview

Flips an active campaign to paused. Only active campaigns can be paused — every other status returns 400. The request body is empty. Under the hood the server does two things:
  1. A compare-and-set update on campaigns.status (fast, the only step that can fail the request).
  2. Completes every outstanding Trigger.dev waitpoint token for this campaign’s prospects with { paused: true }, so sleeping per-prospect tasks wake up and re-check the status. This step is best-effort — token-completion failures are logged but do not surface as a 500.

AI agent notes

When to call. After a bounce spike, a misconfigured template, or explicit user intent. Validate on your side first — there’s no server-side dry-run.What changes immediately. campaigns.status flips to paused synchronously. Sleeping tasks continue to exist on Trigger.dev until their waitpoint tokens resolve, but they will no-op on the pause check at the top of the engine loop.Idempotency. Not idempotent — a second call while already paused returns 400 (Only active campaigns can be paused). Treat that as a safe success for user-facing flows.Follow-up. Poll GET /api/campaigns/{id} to confirm status === "paused" before reporting success to the human. Resume later with POST /api/campaigns/{id}/resume.
