## Response

| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 200 | `{ "started": true, "requestId": "…" }`, or `{ "started": false, "alreadyStarted": true }` when Revnu has already started. Safe to call twice. |
| 409 | `rejected` with a `message`: the subscription doesn't exist yet (the message names the missing step), or the account starts from the dashboard, as YC-deal and Managed accounts do. |

After it starts, its first work lands in the [review queue](https://revnu.com/docs/review-list.md). Without a call here, Revnu starts on its own 15 minutes after the trial begins.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does Revnu do first?

It researches the market and queues its first work, such as outreach drafts, for the customer's approval in the review queue: `GET /api/v1/review` with the `review:read` scope, or the dashboard.
