Create drop
lnkdrp_create_dropA drop is one email template sent from the member's own Gmail to people picked for it and the people on its contact lists, each person with their own tracked link to each of the template's documents. Creates a drop (a campaign in the API): one email template (templateId) for people picked directly (contactIds, or emails: an address that is not a contact yet becomes one) and the people on contact lists (listIds). Lists are optional and one person is a drop; each person is on it once. Each person gets their own link to each of the template's links (its documents, placed by {{link.}}); a template without links needs one document (docId) or project (projectId) here, and Send refuses one with neither. Nothing is sent; lnkdrp_send_drop sends it and lnkdrp_dry_run_drop sends one person's email to the member's own Gmail first. The person this connection acts for owns it and is its sender, from their own Gmail. New drops are private to their owner unless visibility is team, and a private list or template keeps one private. projectIds files it under projects (a project target files it under that project when none are given). One drop goes to at most 100 people. cc puts up to 5 addresses on Cc of every person's email. Each call makes a new drop. Drops are on Pro and up: on Free this answers plan_limit with details.upgradeUrl. Refusals: validation with details.code campaign_empty (nobody on it), invalid_email (details.emails), campaign_people (over 100 picked directly, or people picked directly taking everyone past 100; details.max, requested), contacts_limit_reached (the contacts list is full), template_archived or campaigns_limit (the workspace is at its plan's cap on drops that are not archived, capabilities.outreachLimits.drops in lnkdrp_whoami, with details.limit; archiving a drop makes room), not_found for a template, list, contact, document or project this person cannot see.

Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cc | No | Addresses on Cc of every person's email (up to 5), as a real Cc on that one email. Each is a plain address, once; one equal to a person's own address is left off that person's email, and the sender's own address is refused at Send. Everyone on Cc gets the recipient's email as it is, with that recipient's own link, so their opens count as that recipient's. | |
| name | Yes | The drop's name (1-80 characters, one line). | |
| docId | No | The document each person gets their own link to (24 hex chars), for a template with no links of its own. Give docId or projectId, or neither when the template has links. | |
| emails | No | People picked directly, by address (up to 100): an address that is not a contact yet becomes one, named by name when given. Each is a plain address or { email, name }. | |
| listIds | No | The contact lists it sends to (up to 20 ids, from lnkdrp_list_contact_lists); each person once, however many lists they are on. | |
| projectId | No | The project each person gets their own link to (24 hex chars), for a template with no links of its own. Give docId or projectId, or neither when the template has links. | |
| contactIds | No | People picked directly, by contact id (up to 100, from lnkdrp_list_contacts); a person also on one of its lists is on it once. | |
| projectIds | No | The projects the drop is filed under (up to 20 ids); not what it links to. | |
| templateId | Yes | The email template it sends (24 hex chars), from lnkdrp_list_email_templates. | |
| visibility | No | private: only its owner sees the drop. team: everyone in the workspace sees it. A private list or template keeps it private. | |
| description | No | What the drop is for (up to 500 characters). |
