# Resume / start campaign

> Start a draft or scheduled campaign, or resume a paused one. The server picks the right action based on the campaign's current status.

This is the same single button the dashboard uses. The server looks at the campaign's current status and:

* `draft` or `scheduled` → starts the campaign.
* `paused` → resumes the campaign from where it left off.

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  UUID of the campaign.
</ParamField>
