How to use Schedule Campaign API to send a custom Newsletter

We are trying to create and send Сustomized emails but on the last step I receive error: "1003 Error: Trigger campaign not allowed".

We are following these steps but we understand these are not correct:

- First configure a program like here https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Create+a+Program

- Then create new email as described here https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Create+a+New+Email (be sure to select Operational Email option) and approve it

- Create tokens as described there: https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Managing+My+Tokens and put  them into my email

- Create campaign as here https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Create+a+New+Smart+Campaign

- Go to campaign settings and (as on http://developers.marketo.com/blog/sending-transactional-emails-with-the-marketo-rest-api-part-1/)

---- Configure Smart List with the Campaign is Requested trigger (Web Service API must be selected) and Added to List  trigger to send emails to the members of this list (is it correct?).

---- Configure the flow to point a Send Email step to our email.

When we make the Schedule Campaign API call with all tokens sent correctly, we receive 1003 Error: Trigger campaign not allowed.

Our understanding is that we are doing something wrong by configuring the smart list with the Campaign is Requested trigger.  Instead we should be using a batch smart list?  What are the steps that we should be taking to configure a campaign properly for this to work? We are new to Marketo so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Peter,

my understanding is that the 2 campaign API's do not behave the same.
