Usage

  • Fails with 400 ReferenceExist if the template is still referenced by any channel, escalation rule, or notification subscription.
  • Deletion is soft — deleted_at is set. The record remains for audit, but the template stops appearing in listings.
  • Every call is recorded in the account audit log. Don’t put secrets in request fields.

Response

Success

Success response envelope. On every 2xx response, request_id identifies the call (also mirrored in the Flashcat-Request-Id header) and data holds the endpoint-specific payload. Failure responses use a different shape — see ErrorResponse.

​
request_id
string
required

Unique ID for this request. Mirrored in the Flashcat-Request-Id response header. Include it when reporting issues.

Example:

"01HK8XQE3Z7JM2NTFQ5YJ8P9R4"

​
data
object
required

An empty object. Returned as the data payload by operations whose success signal is simply the absence of an error.
