Moves the on and off switch of a journey.

Campaign Monitor API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/campaign-monitor.md

`PUT https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/campaign-monitor/journeys/{journey_id}/status`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Needs the automation permission. Turning on needs every step complete and a monthly billing plan; if the switch is disabled the call returns the unfinished steps. While off, new subscribers cannot trigger the journey, and people inside it keep moving but get no emails. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `journey_id` | string | yes | Journey ID from list_journeys. |
| `state` | string | yes | on or off. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
