# Create a campaign

> Creates an outbound calling campaign, optionally with its first contacts in `items`. Without a `start_time` the campaign is created as a `draft` and dials nobody until you start it. With a `start_time` it is `scheduled` and starts dialing on its own at that time (and within its `calling_window`, when set).
The campaign's agent, and any agent set on a contact, must belong to the project, be a voice agent that can place calls, and have a published version. Phone numbers that cannot be parsed are kept with status `invalid` and are never dialed.
