postback_code is the unique trigger code used in postback URLs (/webhooks/{code})
Builder configs are deployed to S3 on publish — draft saves do not activate the automation
Stats are read from Elasticsearch and may have a short indexing delay
The copy endpoint copies across brands; clone copies within the same brand
