# Accept a brand kit import

`POST /api/v1/brand-kits/imports/{id}/accept`

Apply a review import's proposal (`preview_ready`) to a profile: voice, colors and pages, and its logos and backgrounds brought into the image library and pinned. Without `brand_kit_id` it fills the profile the import named, else the default, or a new profile when the default has content; the profile takes the name the import found unless you send `name`. A one-shot import whose automatic apply failed (`preview_ready` with an `error`) can be accepted too. The site becomes a sending domain only when the key holds `domains:write`. To change fields, accept and then [Update a brand kit](https://www.unitpost.com/docs/email/patch-brand-kits-id). The body is optional. Requires the `branding:write` capability.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | path | string | yes | — |

## Request body

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `brand_kit_id` | string | no | Apply to this profile instead of the one the import named. |
| `name` | string | no | The profile's name (default: the one the import found). |
| `sync_visual` | boolean | no | Also set the email branding's accent from the imported colors (the default profile only). |

| `id` | string | yes | — |
| `status` | enum | yes | `preview_ready`: the proposal waits for an accept (review imports) or is being applied (one-shot); with an `error` on a one-shot import, applying it failed: accept or cancel it. One of: `pending`, `running`, `preview_ready`, `completed`, `failed`, `cancelled`. |
| `review` | boolean | yes | Whether it waits for an accept (false: applied when the crawl lands). |
| `source` | object | yes | — |
| `brand_kit_id` | string \| null | yes | The profile it fills. |
| `proposal` | object \| null | yes | What the import found, once ready. |

| `brand_kit` | object | yes | The profile as the accept left it. |
| `apply_warnings` | string[] | yes | What the accept couldn't bring in (a logo that wouldn't fetch, the graphics cap, a renamed profile). |

## Responses

| Status | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 200 | The import, the profile, and what couldn't be brought in. |
| 400 | The body isn't JSON. |
| 401 | Missing or invalid API key. |
| 403 | Insufficient scope (`branding:write` is opt-in on a key), or a new profile over the five-profile limit (`limit_reached`). |
| 404 | Brand import or `brand_kit_id` not found. |
| 409 | Not a ready import (a one-shot import applies itself; a finished one is done), or another accept took it first. |

| 429 | Too many imports; retry after the wait. |
