Sender Identity API - Delete

Use this endpoint to delete a sender identity from your account.

---

Endpoint

DELETE https://e1.envoke.com/v1/senders/{ID}

Replace {ID} with the Envoke sender ID you want to delete. Authentication is via HTTP Basic Auth using your API ID and API Key.

---

Important

Deletion is permanent. Deleted sender identities cannot be recovered via the API.

The default sender cannot be deleted. If you need to remove the current default, first use POST /v1/senders/{ID}/default to promote a different identity as the default, then delete the former default.

---

Response

On success:

{
  "success": true,
  "result_text": "Deleted",
  "result_data": []
}

If the sender ID is not found:

{
  "success": false,
  "result_text": "Validation failed, see 'result_data' -> 'errors'",
  "result_data": {
    "errors": ["Item with id '42' not found"]
  }
}

If you attempt to delete the default sender:

{
  "success": false,
  "result_text": "Validation failed, see 'result_data' -> 'errors'",
  "result_data": {
    "errors": ["The default sender identity cannot be deleted"]
  }
}

---

Examples

Delete a sender identity

curl -X DELETE -gs \
  -u "$API_ID:$API_KEY" \
  "$BASE/v1/senders/4"

Promote a new default, then delete the old one

If you need to delete the current default, promote another sender first:

# Step 1 — promote sender 2 as the new default
curl -X POST -gs \
  -u "$API_ID:$API_KEY" \
  "$BASE/v1/senders/2/default"

# Step 2 — delete the old default (sender 1)
curl -X DELETE -gs \
  -u "$API_ID:$API_KEY" \
  "$BASE/v1/senders/1"

Note: The curl examples above are formatted for readability. All requests must use properly encoded URLs.
