# POST /v23/{+resourceName}:scheduleExperiment

`POST /v23/{+resourceName}:scheduleExperiment`

Schedule an experiment. The in design campaign will be converted into a real campaign (called the experiment campaign) that will begin serving ads if successfully created. The experiment is scheduled immediately with status INITIALIZING. This method returns a long running operation that tracks the forking of the in design campaign. If the forking fails, a list of errors can be retrieved using the ListExperimentAsyncErrors method. The operation's metadata will be a string containing the resource name of the created experiment. List of thrown errors: [AuthenticationError]() [AuthorizationError]() [ExperimentError]() [DatabaseError]() [DateError]() [DateRangeError]() [FieldError]() [HeaderError]() [InternalError]() [QuotaError]() [RangeError]() [RequestError]()
