Preview an activity-property edit's impact

POST /v1/activity-properties/{id}/preview
Auth required api.activities.manage

Dry-runs a proposed edit and returns its mutation_class and projected impact — the segments that reference the property and, for a disruptive edit, each one's typecheck outcome — without writing anything. The body is the proposed definition (same shape as the PUT edit body). Use it before committing a disruptive change. Git-backed definitions are read-only and return 409 conflict.

Path parameters

id string<uuid> required

Resource UUID. An unparseable id reads as a clean 404 not_found.

Request body

Content type: application/json

type string enum required

One of: string, number, bool, datetime, enum

enum_values array<string> optional

Required when type is enum; must be empty/omitted otherwise.

description string optional

Responses

Errors follow the RFC 7807 problem format — see the error reference.

200 The projected mutation class and impact (no writes) application/json
mutation_class string enum required

How an edit affects dependent Segment predicates: free (no effect), safe_but_stale (an enum value was removed; predicates stay valid), or disruptive (a cast-class change or a demote that raises a standing per-segment warning).

One of: free, safe_but_stale, disruptive

impact object required

The projected (preview) or committed (apply) impact of a mutation on dependent Segments and Workflows.

Fields of impact:

affected_segments array<object> required

Each entry in affected_segments:

id string<uuid> required
name string required
typecheck_ok boolean required

Whether the segment's predicate still type-checks under the change. Always true for a free / safe-but-stale edit; may be false for a disruptive one.

warning string optional

The standing "evaluation disrupted" warning the edit would raise (or did); absent when none.

affected_workflows array<object> required

Each entry in affected_workflows:

id string<uuid> required
name string required
key string required
status string required

The workflow's lifecycle status (draft, active, paused, archived, invalid).

projected_dropout integer<int64> required

Always 0 for a promoted property — it is cast-at-read over the activity firehose and does not gate contact membership the way a contact attribute does. Present for shape parity with the attribute impact.

403 Key lacks the required scope or plan limit violated application/problem+json
404 Resource not found application/problem+json
409 The mutation is rejected by a state rule rather than a bad request — e.g. editing a git-backed (read-only) definition. The code is conflict. application/problem+json
422 Query parameter or path value failed validation application/problem+json
429 Per-org rate limit exceeded application/problem+json
500 Unexpected server-side failure. The code is internal_error. The request_id field can be quoted to SendOps support to investigate. application/problem+json
