# Start a campaign

`PATCH /campaigns/call/{campaignscalllistuuid}/start`

Starts an outbound call campaign. Once started, the system begins distributing contacts from the campaign's queue to assigned users/groups for calling. An optional start date can be specified in the request body to schedule the campaign for later. The campaign must have at least one number in its queue and at least one assigned user or group — otherwise a `403` error is returned.

**Permission:** No specific permission required. A valid API key is sufficient.

## Path parameters

- `campaignscalllistuuid` string, uuid, required

- `403` — No numbers register for the campaign
