400Bad request, the body was not wrapped in `input` (GraphQL: `Variable "$input" of required type "CreateSocialPostMutationInput!" was not provided`).

401Unauthenticated, missing or invalid API key.

Creates an offer post: a promotion card with a coupon code, discount, redeem link, and terms. The offer specifics live in postContextInfo (title, couponCode, discount, redeemUrl, termsConditions, startDay, endDay). Offers pair naturally with a GET_OFFER CTA.

Use case: run a time-boxed promotion. Launch a "Diwali 25% Off" offer for Jenny Home valid June 22–July 6, with coupon DIWALI25 and a redeem URL. Set postType: "OFFER", fill postContextInfo, and add a GET_OFFER CTA. The call returns status: INPROGRESS; verify it lands on each site with GET /posts/{postId}, and delete it early with DELETE /posts/{postId} if the promotion ends.

Notes.

The request body must be wrapped in an input object: every field is a property of input. A flat, unwrapped body is rejected with an HTTP 400 (Variable "$input" of required type "CreateSocialPostMutationInput!" was not provided).
postContextInfo.startDay/endDay bound the offer's validity; use postScheduledDates if you also want to schedule when the post publishes/expires independently.
Provide a postMessage entry for each site in postSites.
For plain updates use announcements; for dated happenings use events.

Write operation: not executed against the live account. The request and response shown are built from the API schema; this posts to real Google/Facebook profiles when run.
