API call unsuccessful: Error creating distribution

Question

I am working with the Qualtrics API to create a Distribution to send a survey invite to a singular contact in a mailing list. I have successfully created a distribution via the Qualtrics UI, with all of the corresponding parameters so I know they should work. This is the key documentation I am working from: https://api.qualtrics.com/api-reference/reference/distributions.json/paths/~1distributions/post  .   Any insight would be greatly appreciated.Thank you and here is the relavent info:I receive this error when running as a script in python and posting in Postman:  {"meta":	{"httpStatus":"400 - Bad Request",	"error":	{	"errorMessage":"API Call Unsuccessful: Error creating distribution",	"errorCode":"DEC_8"	},	"requestId":"cb1c2477-0755-49c5-8243-cdf5ed86308e"	}} Here is url: https://.qualtrics.com/API/v3/distributionsheader = {API-token: , content-type:"application/json"}And the json payload:{    "message": {        "libraryId": "UR_2488CVRwq2XH4B7",        "messageId": "MS_a3G4NLBKv5wso1E"    },    "recipients": {        "contactId": "CGC_sdvm6nTY2O0nKws",        "mailingListId": "CG_VOOB22zHx9o2wVj"    },    "header": {        "fromName": "Qualtrics Test ",        "replyToEmail": "noreply@mydomain.com",        "fromEmail": "noreply@mydomain.com",        "subject": "Test Survey Distribution"    },    "surveyLink": {        "surveyId": "SV_87isJC9tHvmSgex",        "expirationDate": "2021-07-13T12:46:11Z",        "type": "Individual"    },    "sendDate": "2021-07-06T12:46:11Z"}

SOLVED! Qualtrics support got back to me with this statement..."The DEC_8 error often occurs when the From Domain (in this case, "@mydomain.co") has not been verified for the brand.Custom From Addresses can only be used if they have been added to the brand according to the instructions found on this page." I was using an email that was not part of the brand for testing.
