Hi all,  
  
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I am trying to create a new campaign using the API from a custom CRM.  
  
I am sending my request through GuzzleHttp with an array as follows(per Mautic documentation):

Code:

$array = ['name' =\> $campaign-\>name, 'description' =\> $campaign-\>description, 'isPublished' =\> 1];

But I get an error 400 bad request: At least one event is required. Use the Launch Campaign Builder.  
I cannot use the API library for Mautic as it does not authenticate. Is there a restful way to create a Campaign for Mautic?
