# Set stages

Replaces the organization's stages, in pipeline order (at most 20). Give names (`"Demo booked"`: the key becomes `demo_booked`) or `{ "key", "label" }`. Renaming a stage or changing the order keeps its key and the rows on it; a stage that still holds rows cannot be removed (move them first with PATCH `stage`). The answer is the list as GET /stages gives it.

## Authentication

Send `Authorization: Bearer gtk_…`. Create the key under **Connect assistant → API keys**. Every `gtk_` key can call these routes, also while the Signals API is closed. A missing, invalid or revoked key is **401**.

### Body parameters

- **`stages`** `array` · **required** — Names or `{ key, label }` objects, in pipeline order. A key is lowercase letters, digits and `_`, up to 40 characters; a label up to 40 characters.

## Response

- **`…`** `object` · **required** — The list as GET /stages gives it.

## Credits

Free. This call never uses credits.

## Errors

- **400** `invalid_request` — Not a list, more than 20, a key that is not valid, the same stage twice, or a stage that still holds rows (the error says which and how many).
- **503** `service_unavailable` — Stages are not available in this environment yet.
- **409** `invalid_state` — The key has no user behind it, so mySDR cannot record who did it.
- **401** `authentication_error` — The Authorization header is missing, or the key is unknown or revoked.
- **403** `permission_error` — API access is not part of your plan, or your account is suspended.
- **429** `rate_limit_error` — More than 60 requests per minute, or more than 3 at the same time, on one key. Wait for the Retry-After header.
- **503** `service_unavailable` — The API is temporarily unavailable. Retry later.
- **500** `internal_error` — Something went wrong on our side.
