# Add Transaction

## How this example works

In this example, we will create a sample transaction to trigger the previously created campaign.

***

## Try yourself <a href="#to-try-it-yourself" id="to-try-it-yourself"></a>

* Input the previous saved [token](https://help.openloyalty.io/technical-guide/getting-started-guide/authentication) and [storeCode](https://help.openloyalty.io/technical-guide/member-registartion-configuration#to-try-it-yourself) in the request header
* Add a transaction\
  Endpoint: `POST /api/{storeCode}/transaction`

  ```postman_json
  {
      "transaction": {
          "items": [
              {
                  "sku": "12AB",
                  "name": "Restaurant",
                  "quantity": 1,
                  "grossValue": 500,
                  "category": "dine"
              }
          ],
          "header": {
              "documentType": "sell",
              "documentNumber": "12345",
              "purchasePlace": "onsite",
              "purchasedAt": "2024-05-01T00:00:00", // add current time
              "labels": []
          },
          "customerData": {
              "email": "john.smith@example.com"
          }
      }
  }
  ```
* This action should trigger `CampaignEffectWasApplied` [webhook](https://help.openloyalty.io/technical-guide/add-webhook#to-try-it-yourself)
