Restore a previous version of a Segment

POST /v1/segments/{id}/versions/{version}/restore
Auth required api.segments.manage

Reinstates a previous definition. A restore is an ordinary edit whose content happens to be old: it snapshots the state it replaces in the same transaction, so nothing is lost, the restore is itself in the history, and restoring the version it created undoes it. That is why this operation is NOT classified destructive, and why a test-environment credential may call it.

It bypasses the optimistic-concurrency check by design — "whatever is there now, make it this" is not a statement about what the caller last read — and it deletes no history.

Path parameters

id string required

The Segment's UUID or its org-unique key.

version integer required

The version number, as returned by the versions collection. Version numbers are the handle on every kind here, including the kinds whose dashboard routes address a version by row id.

Responses

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

200 The definition after the restore, and the version the restore created application/json
kind string required
restored integer required

The version number that was reinstated.

current object required

The definition as it now stands, in the shape the kind's own read route returns.

version object required

One row of a definition's history.

Fields of version:

version_number integer required
created_at string<date-time> required

When the snapshot was taken, which is when the edit that REPLACED this state was made — not when this state was authored.

actor object required

Who made one edit. The label is resolved server-side — a person's name, an API key's name, an OAuth client's name — because the name lives in a different table per kind and a client can read none of them. It never carries a key, a token or a client secret; a revoked credential falls back to a short form of its id rather than rendering blank.

Fields of actor:

kind string enum required

unknown is an honest value rather than an error: it is what rows predating actor recording carry, and what a write reached with no credential records.

One of: user, api_key, oauth_client, system, unknown

id string optional

The users / api_keys / oauth_clients id, per kind. Absent for system and unknown.

label string required
session string optional

The HTTP request id of the edit — the same value on the matching audit row, so the two can be joined. It is NOT an MCP session id: the MCP transport is stateless and reads no session header.

content_hash string optional
summary string required

How this version differs from the one before it — +3 −1 lines for a source kind, renamed, type string→number for a schema kind. The oldest row says first recorded version.

current object optional

Fields of current:

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

Org-unique slug, stable across renames.

description string required
source string required

The SendQL predicate that defines membership.

profile_version integer required

SendQL profile version the source was compiled under.

eval_class string enum required

How membership is reconciled: incremental (re-evaluated on an attribute change), sweep (periodic full re-evaluation, for time-relative or event predicates), or both.

One of: incremental, sweep, both

status string enum required

invalid means the predicate no longer compiles (e.g. a referenced attribute was deleted); fix the predicate with PUT /v1/segments/{id} to re-activate. archived is a retired segment — deactivated but preserved.

One of: active, paused, invalid, archived

member_count integer<int64> | null required

Cached count of current members from the last reconcile, and null when the segment has never been evaluated. Null is not zero: zero means the predicate matched nobody, null means nothing has asked yet. A newly created segment is null only until its first evaluation completes — see evaluation.

evaluation string enum optional

Present only on a write response. complete means the save evaluated the membership before returning and member_count is that answer; queued means the evaluation exceeded its budget or failed, a background reconcile was enqueued, and member_count is null until it finishes. Absent on reads.

One of: complete, queued

eval_warning string optional

A standing "evaluation disrupted" warning, present when an attribute the predicate references was mutated disruptively (renamed or retyped via the management API). The segment keeps evaluating best-effort; the warning clears when the predicate is re-saved. Absent when the segment is healthy.

eval_warning_at string<date-time> optional

Time the standing eval_warning was raised; absent when none.

last_evaluated_at string<date-time> optional

Time of the last reconcile; absent until the first evaluation.

content_hash string optional

The optimistic-concurrency token over the segment's author-editable definition. Send it back as expected_content_hash on PUT /v1/segments/{id} and the edit is refused (409) rather than clobbering a concurrent one. Absent on a row that predates the column, until its next managed write recomputes it.

warnings array<string> optional

Non-blocking findings from the SendQL analyzer for the definition just saved — present only on a write response. A segment with warnings is saved, not rejected.

requires array<object> optional

Everything this definition still depends on, with each dependency's state. Present on the write responses and on the detail read (the polling surface); absent on the collection read. An empty array means nothing is outstanding — see V1Requirement.

Each entry in requires:

kind string enum required

The namespace key is looked up in. Branch on this; never parse detail.

One of: template, segment, list, topic, identity, channel, attribute, activity_property, asset

key string required

The identifier as the definition names it — a template name, a segment id or key, a from-address. Empty for a requirement about the ABSENCE of a reference: a send with no topic at all names no topic.

status string enum required

ok — resolves and is usable now. missing — nothing in this organization answers to that key. Correct the reference, or create the thing. not_ready — it exists, in a state that cannot be used yet. Usually a wait, and retrying the identical request is the move. Treating this as missing sends you hunting for a typo that is not there.

One of: ok, missing, not_ready

detail string required

The state, in the words that say which state — deploy_state=pending, member_count=null (evaluation queued). For display and logs; do not parse it.

fix string required

The call that clears this requirement, as an HTTP route where there is one and as a plain instruction where there is not (a template deploy is waited for, not called). Empty on an ok entry.
