For more information on how to obtain these values, see the [authentication tutorial](http://www.adobe.com/go/platform-api-authentication-en).\n    - All resources in Experience Platform are isolated to specific virtual sandboxes. All requests to Platform APIs require the header `x-sandbox-name` whose value is the all-lowercase name of the sandbox the operation will take place in (for example, \"prod\"). See the [sandboxes overview](https://adobe.com/go/sandbox-overview-en) for more information.\n    - All requests with a payload in the request body must include the header `Content-Type` with a value of `application/json`.\n    - To use v2 of the ad hoc activation API, include the `Accept` header with the value `application/vnd.adobe.adhoc.activation+json; version=2`. Without this header, v1 behavior applies, which requires an `exportIds` array in the request body.\n\n- **Guardrails**:\n    - Each ad hoc activation job can activate up to 80 audiences. Attempting to activate more than 80 audiences per job will cause the job to fail.\n    - Do not run more than one concurrent ad hoc activation job per audience.\n    - Ad hoc activation jobs cannot run in parallel with scheduled audience export jobs. Make sure the scheduled export job has finished before triggering an ad hoc run.\n    - At least one hour must have passed from the moment the audience was first activated on its configured schedule before you run an ad hoc activation job.\n\n- **API error handling**:\n    - Refer to the Experience Platform API troubleshooting guide for [FAQs](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html?lang=en#faq), [API status codes](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html?lang=en#api-status-codes), and [request header errors](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/troubleshooting.html?lang=en#request-header-errors)."

      summary: Run an ad hoc activation job
      description: 'Triggers an on-demand export of the specified audiences to the specified batch file-based destinations. The API runs based on the latest segmentation results. Adobe Experience Platform runs scheduled segmentation jobs once every 24 hours; the ad hoc activation API does not trigger a new segmentation evaluation.


        **API versions**: Two versions of this endpoint are supported. Use the `Accept` header to select the version.


        - **V2 (recommended)**: Include `Accept: application/vnd.adobe.adhoc.activation+json; version=2`. Only `activationInfo` is required in the request body. No audience export job ID is needed.

        - **V1**: Omit the `Accept` header. The request body must include both `activationInfo` and an `exportIds` array containing the latest audience export job ID, obtained from the [Segmentation Service API](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/segmentation/api/export-jobs).


        **External and custom upload audiences**: For [external or custom upload audiences](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/segmentation/ui/audience-portal#import-audience) not generated by Experience Platform segmentation, use the system-generated ID shown as **ID#** in the [audience summary panel](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/segmentation/ui/audience-portal#audience-summary) in the Audiences UI, not the external source ID.


        **Prerequisites**: Before calling this endpoint, make sure all of the following are true:


        - An activation flow is configured for the destination, using either the [Experience Platform UI](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/destinations/ui/activate/activate-batch-profile-destinations) or the [Flow Service API](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/destinations/api/activate-segments-file-based-destinations).

        - The audiences are mapped to the destination dataflow.

        - At least one hour has passed since the audience was first activated on its configured schedule.

        - Any in-progress scheduled export for the same audiences has completed. See [Monitor destination dataflows](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/dataflows/ui/monitor-destinations) for information on how to check the status of activation flows in the Experience Platform UI.
