# Create a rule

POST https://api-chat.parstechai.com/v1/robots/{robot_id}/channels/{channel_id}/rules
Content-Type: application/json

Creates a keyword-triggered automation on one channel.

A DM rule sends `actions`. A comment rule can post a public reply with `reply_in_comment`, follow it privately with `then_send_dm`, or do both, which is the pattern that turns a public comment into a private sale. A comment rule with neither is rejected with 422.

Add `require_follow` to withhold the answer until the commenter follows the page.

Reference: https://docs-parschat.parstechai.com/api-reference/instagram-automation/create-rule

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Your API key, issued by ParsChat sales. One key per account, spanning every robot you own. Send it as `Authorization: Bearer pk_live_…`.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `robot_id` (string, required) — The robot's id, as returned by the create call.
- `channel_id` (string, required) — The channel's id.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a Rule.

- `id` (string, optional) — ParsChat identifier for the rule.
- `name` (string, optional) — Your label for the rule. Shown in the panel.
- `trigger` (Trigger, optional) — What makes a rule fire.
- `actions` (list of Action, optional) — What to send on a DM rule.
- `reply_in_comment` (RuleReplyInComment, optional) — Comment rules only. Posts a public reply under the comment.
- `then_send_dm` (list of Action, optional) — Comment rules only. Follows the public reply with a private message.
- `require_follow` (RequireFollow, optional) — Withhold the reply until the commenter follows the page. The verification round-trip is ours: you do not implement it.
- `is_active` (boolean, optional, default: true) — Whether the rule is currently firing.
- `created_at` (datetime, optional) — When the rule was created.

## Response

### 201

The rule was created and is live if `is_active` is true.

- `id` (string, optional) — ParsChat identifier for the rule.
- `name` (string, optional) — Your label for the rule. Shown in the panel.
- `trigger` (Trigger, optional) — What makes a rule fire.
- `actions` (list of Action, optional) — What to send on a DM rule.
- `reply_in_comment` (RuleReplyInComment, optional) — Comment rules only. Posts a public reply under the comment.
- `then_send_dm` (list of Action, optional) — Comment rules only. Follows the public reply with a private message.
- `require_follow` (RequireFollow, optional) — Withhold the reply until the commenter follows the page. The verification round-trip is ours: you do not implement it.
- `is_active` (boolean, optional, default: true) — Whether the rule is currently firing.
- `created_at` (datetime, optional) — When the rule was created.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

The request itself is malformed: a parameter is missing, unparseable, or out of range. Unlike 422, the request never reached validation of its contents.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 401 Unauthorized Error

The key is missing, wrong, revoked, or past its expiry date. All four answer `invalid_key`: telling an expired key from an unknown one would confirm to whoever holds a leaked key that it was once real.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 403 Forbidden Error

The call is understood but not permitted: a missing role, a lapsed plan, or exhausted capacity.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 404 Not Found Error

No such resource, or it belongs to another partner. We return 404 rather than 403 here, because a 403 would confirm the id exists.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

The payload is malformed, or a prerequisite is not configured.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

You are calling the API too fast. `details` names the limit you are held to. This never means an automated reply to an end customer was discarded: those are queued, not dropped.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 500 Internal Server Error

Something failed on our side. Retry with backoff, and quote `request_id` if it persists.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

### 503 Service Unavailable Error

A service we depend on (a channel provider, or our AI service) is unavailable. Retry with backoff.

- `error` (ErrorError, optional)

## Types

### Trigger

What makes a rule fire.

- `on` (enum, required) — `dm` matches direct messages. `comment` matches comments on posts and reels.
  - Allowed values: `dm`, `comment`
- `keywords` (list of string, required) — Words that trigger the rule. At least one is required.
- `match` (enum, optional, default: contains) — `contains` matches a keyword anywhere in the text. `equal` requires the whole message to match.
  - Allowed values: `contains`, `equal`
- `media_id` (string, optional) — Comment rules only. Scopes the rule to one post or reel. Omit it and the rule applies to every post. Get ids from the media endpoint.

### Action

One step of a reply. The vocabulary is closed: an unknown `type` returns 422, so new action types can be added without breaking a partner who guessed.

- `type` (enum, required) — Which kind of step this is.
  - Allowed values: `text`, `image`, `link`, `delay`
- `body` (string, optional) — Message text. Required when `type` is `text`.
- `url` (string, optional) — Destination for a `link`, or the image source for an `image`.
- `label` (string, optional) — Button label for a `link`.
- `seconds` (integer, optional) — How long to wait. Used when `type` is `delay`.

### RuleReplyInComment

Comment rules only. Posts a public reply under the comment.

- `body` (string, optional) — The public reply text.

### RequireFollow

Withhold the reply until the commenter follows the page. The verification round-trip is ours: you do not implement it.

- `enabled` (boolean, optional) — Whether the gate applies to this rule.
- `prompt` (string, optional) — Sent instead of the reply when the sender does not follow.
- `button_text` (string, optional) — Label on the postback button, tapped inside Instagram.
- `retry_prompt` (string, optional) — Sent when someone taps the button before actually following.

### ErrorError

- `code` (string, optional) — Stable machine-readable code. Branch on this, not on the message.
- `message` (string, optional) — Human-readable explanation. Wording may change.
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Log this. It is what lets support find your exact request.
- `details` (map from string to any, optional) — Machine-readable context for the code. On `capacity_exhausted` it carries `occupied`, `requested` and `capacity`; on `rate_limited`, `limit_per_minute` and `window_seconds`.
