Schedule a future-dated transfer. Envelope is evaluated at schedule time AND again at execute time; policy bumps between the two can still deny the scheduled transfer.

Auth
Caller’s grant must include the payments:initiate scope. Grants whose scope set is a superset of the required scope are accepted.

Errors
| Code | reason_id | Meaning |
|---|
-32000 | unauthenticated | Bearer token missing or expired. |
-32001 | unauthorized | Grant does not include payments:initiate. |
-32002 | policy_denied | Envelope denied the scheduled amount (velocity, allowlist, daily cap, etc.). |
-32003 | step_up_required | Amount exceeds the envelope’s step-up threshold. data.step_up_url contains the biometric approval URL; re-submit with the redeemed sigil in step_up_sigil. |
-32004 | rate_limited | Too many schedule requests. data.retry_after_seconds tells you when to retry. |
-32602 | execute_at_not_future | execute_at is not strictly after the current time. |
-32602 | execute_at_beyond_horizon | execute_at is more than 90 days from now. |
-32603 | internal_error | Transient server fault. Retry with the same idempotency key. |
Step-up flow
transfer.schedule enforces step-up at schedule time — the row is never enqueued until the principal has approved. This differs from a naive deferred payments.initiate; the execute-time worker also rechecks the then-current policy.
- Call
transfer.schedule with the desired params. If the envelope’s step_up_amount_cents threshold is exceeded, the server returns -32003 with data.step_up_url and data.reason_id = "step_up_required".
- Redirect the user to
step_up_url (Privy biometric prompt). On success, Glide mints a one-time sigil and redirects back to your app’s callback URL.
- Re-submit the original call, adding
step_up_sigil: "<sigil>" to the params.
- The server redeems the sigil (single-use, bound to the exact amount + counterparty + execute_at), verifies the action matches what was approved, and enqueues the scheduled transfer.
