Delete a channel

DELETE
/api/channels/{channelId}

Permanently delete a channel. Active conversations on this channel will no longer receive or send messages. For an email channel, oHallo then removes what the channel set up to receive mail, in the background: its mail routing, or for a connected mailbox (inbound_mode inbox_api) its subscription at the mail provider and the stored mailbox access. Deleting a channel that is already deleted answers ok; for a connected mailbox it runs that cleanup again.

channelId
required
string format: uuid

The unique identifier of the channel to delete.

The channel was deleted.

Simple success acknowledgment returned by action endpoints (reply, resolve, take-over, etc.).

object
ok
required

Always true on success.

boolean
Example
true

The caller may not delete this channel. People need the owner or admin role. An API key needs the channels:write scope; a channel in a workspace outside the key’s brand or workspace restriction answers 404.

Standard error response returned by all endpoints on failure.

object
error
required

A human-readable error message describing what went wrong.

string
Example
Conversation not found
code

A machine-readable reason on some refusals, for example ‘key_lock’ when an API key’s brand or workspace restriction does not cover the action.

string
Example
key_lock
missing_scopes

On a 403 for an API key without a scope the endpoint requires: the scopes the key lacks.

Array<string>
Example
[
"mcp:write"

entryId

On a 409 with code duplicate_question or duplicate_rule_text: the knowledge base entry or policy that already holds the question or rule text.

string format: uuid
Example
11223344-5566-4788-99aa-bbccddeeff00
connectionId

On a 422 about one MCP connection a request names, from an assignment or an agent create or update (a connection that does not exist, one listed twice, or one that does not declare a tool named): the connection, as the request named it.

string

On the same 422: the tool names the connection does not declare.

Array<string>
Example
[
"get_orders"
]
declaredTools

On the same 422: the tools the connection declares.

Array<string>
Example
[
