Examples of Cascade Checking Errors

Example 1. The content object has channel parameters that are not included in the cascade.

In the request below, the smscontent parameter causes an error, because the cascade with cascadeId = 31634 includes only Viber and WhatsApp channels.

curl --location 'http://app.edna.io/api/cascade/schedule' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: ************' \
--data '{
    "requestId": "e62b4736-1278-4119-8816-3f2257eec47c",
    "cascadeId": 31634,
    "subscriberFilter": {
        "address": "+00000000000",
