## Response

`200`: The sequence.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |

| `steps[].position` | integer | Yes | Its place in the sequence, from 0. |
| `steps[].kind` | string | Yes | One of `text`, `wait` |
| `steps[].wait_seconds` | integer or null | Yes | For a wait: how long, from a minute to a year. |
| `steps[].text` | string or null | Yes | For a text: the words, with `{{variables}}`. |
| `steps[].template_id` | string or null | Yes | For a text: the template it uses instead of `text`. |
| `steps[].service` | string | Yes | One of `auto`, `imessage`, `sms` |
| `counts` | map of integer | Yes | Enrollments by state: `active`, `completed`, `stopped`, `canceled`. |

## Errors

Every refusal has the same envelope and a page of its own. These are the ones this operation can give.

| [`unauthorized`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/unauthorized)             | 401    | The request carried no key, or a key BlueBot doesn’t know: mistyped, revoked, or a test key sent to the live API.                           |
| [`insufficient_scope`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/insufficient_scope) | 403    | The key doesn’t carry the scope the endpoint needs. Each endpoint’s reference names its scope.                                              |
| [`rate_limited`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/rate_limited)             | 429    | Too many requests. A key may make 120 requests a minute. The `RateLimit` header says how many are left, and `Retry-After` how long to wait. |
| [`internal`](https://usebluebot.com/docs/errors/internal)                     | 500    | Something went wrong on BlueBot’s side. It was reported. Send the request again; with an Idempotency-Key that is always safe.               |
