# Generate Sequence (Deprecated)

> Deprecated compatibility alias that creates a disabled AI-generated sequence draft

# Generate Sequence (Deprecated)

<Warning>
  This endpoint is deprecated. Use `POST /api/v1/sequences` with `name`,
  `trigger`, and `goal` for new integrations.
</Warning>

Creates and persists a disabled sequence draft using a `contact_added` trigger.
The endpoint remains as a compatibility alias; it returns `Deprecation: true`
and a successor `Link` header. It never enables the sequence.

  The sequence goal or desired subscriber journey.

  Optional sequence name. Defaults to a normalized version of `goal`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="listId" type="string">
  Optional list ID that scopes the `contact_added` trigger.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="emailCount" type="number">
  Number of emails to generate. Defaults to `5`. Maximum is `10`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="durationDays" type="number">
  Duration used to space suggested delays. Defaults to `14`.
</ParamField>
