# Create Broadcast

> Create a new broadcast to send to your contacts.

## Body Parameters

The ID of the segment you want to send to.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Audiences are now called Segments. Follow the [Migration
> Guide](/docs/dashboard/segments/migrating-from-audiences-to-segments).

**from** `string` *required*

Sender email address.

To include a friendly name, pass the sender as `Name <email@example.com>`, for example `Acme <onboarding@example.dev>`.

**subject** `string` *required*

Email subject.

Reply-to email address. For multiple addresses, send as an array of strings.

**html** `string`

The HTML version of the message. You can include Contact Properties in the
body of the Broadcast. Learn more about [Contact
Properties](/docs/dashboard/contacts/properties).

**text** `string`

The plain text version of the message. You can include Contact Properties in the body of the Broadcast. Learn more about [Contact Properties](/docs/dashboard/contacts/properties).

> [!NOTE]
>
> If not provided, the HTML will be used to generate a plain text version. You
> can opt out of this behavior by setting value to an empty string.

**react** `React.ReactNode`

The React component used to write the message. *Only available in the Node.js
SDK.*

**name** `string`

The friendly name of the broadcast. Only used for internal reference.

Optional. Omit it to send to every subscribed contact in the segment, without
checking topic preferences.

**send** `boolean`

Send the broadcast immediately after creation. Defaults to `false`.

> [!NOTE]
>
> When set to `true`, the broadcast will be sent or scheduled (if `scheduled_at` is provided) without requiring a separate call to the [Send Broadcast](/docs/api-reference/broadcasts/send-broadcast) endpoint.

Schedule the broadcast to be sent later. The date should be in natural language (e.g.: `in 1 min`) or ISO 8601 format (e.g: `2026-08-05T11:52:01.858Z`).

> [!WARNING]
>
> This parameter requires `send` to be set to `true`.
