Behavior by Status

Job Status	Reschedule Behavior
`scheduled`	Cancels old Redis job + creates new defer job + updates DB
`pending`	Creates new Redis defer job + updates DB + changes status to `scheduled`
`running`	❌ Error: Cannot reschedule running job
`completed`	❌ Error: Cannot reschedule completed job
`failed`	❌ Error: Cannot reschedule failed job
`cancelled`	❌ Error: Cannot reschedule cancelled job

How It Works

PATCH /batch/jobs/{id}/reschedule
         │
         ▼
1. Parse scheduled time + timezone
         ├── Invalid format → 400 Error
         └── Valid → Convert to UTC
                   │
                   ▼
2. Check job status
         ├── Not scheduled/pending → 400 Error
         └── Scheduled/Pending → Continue
                   │
                   ▼
3. If has scheduledJobId: Cancel old Redis job
         ├── Found → Cancel + clear
         └── Not found → Proceed
                   │
                   ▼
4. Create new Redis defer job
         │
         ▼
5. Update database with new time + job ID
         │
         ▼
6. Return success

Use Cases

Reschedule Due to Weather Event

Your campaign is scheduled for today, but a storm is affecting your target region:

# Reschedule from today to tomorrow same time
curl -X PATCH "https://api.talkifai.com/batch/jobs/batch_xyz789/reschedule?scheduledStartTime=2025-03-02T09:00:00&timezone=America/New_York" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Adjust Calling Hours for Compliance

You realize your scheduled time violates calling hours regulations:

# Reschedule from 7 AM to 9 AM (legal calling hours start)
curl -X PATCH "https://api.talkifai.com/batch/jobs/batch_xyz789/reschedule?scheduledStartTime=2025-03-01T09:00:00&timezone=America/Chicago" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Postpone Campaign to Next Week

# Move campaign from Friday to next Monday
curl -X PATCH "https://api.talkifai.com/batch/jobs/batch_xyz789/reschedule?scheduledStartTime=2025-03-10T10:00:00&timezone=America/Los_Angeles" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
