Delete an event type only when no bookings reference it.
Action: app_topolo_calendar.event_types.delete · DELETE /api/admin/event-types/{eventTypeId}
Declared permission: app_topolo_calendar.event_types:write. For authorized Calendar users; permissions and resource access still apply.
Before you start
- Use the current credential to confirm the production organization and inspect this exact action before preparing a call.
- Declared permission: app_topolo_calendar.event_types:write. Permission discovery is not a grant.
- Discover the authorized Calendar workspace and pass it as resourceType=workspace/resourceId separately from this action input. Calendar records and IDs are scoped to the selected host/workspace.
- Validate and plan the exact payload, obtain effect-specific authorization, then execute unchanged only in a separately authorized operational task. Do not run these synthetic inputs.
Inputs and field meanings
| Field | Presence | Declared constraint | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
eventTypeId | required | string | Type ID discovered with event_types.list/get. Creation uses either this or eventTypeSlug, never both. |
Worked request and response
Source-reviewed illustration only. Nothing below was executed; all identifiers, counts, states, credentials and URLs are synthetic. Replace identifiers through discovery before any separately authorized call.
Resource context: workspace; it is not an extra action input field.
Illustrative action input:
{
"eventTypeId": "evt_example"
}
Illustrative HTTP 200 source response:
{
"ok": true
}
ok is the source delete acknowledgement. Confirm the type cannot be read/listed afterward. An in-use refusal preserves booking history and must not be bypassed.
The illustrative response passes the declared structural schema. This establishes only schema compatibility, not deployed shape, values, authorization or business outcome.
Effects and verification
- Hard-deletes the host-owned type and clears its transient slot holds after the booking-count guard.
- Read event_types.list/get to confirm absence and retain the refusal if event_type_in_use is returned.
Refusals and recovery
Selected source refusals are listed below; runtime middleware can return additional structured errors.
| HTTP | Error | Supported response |
|---|---|---|
| 403 | forbidden | Reconcile the declared permission, organization and verified resource grant with the legitimate access owner; do not switch context to bypass a refusal. |
| 404 | no_host | Read host.get; if it returns host:null, create the intended workspace host through host.update before retrying. |
| 404 | not_found | List records in the selected workspace and discover the identifier again. Do not probe another workspace by guessing IDs. |
| 409 | event_type_in_use | Retain the type and booking history. Do not delete bookings merely to bypass this guard. |
Recovery: There is no undelete action. A separately authorized recreation receives a new ID and is not restoration of identity or old links.
After an uncertain mutation, reconcile the named records and provider/delivery evidence before repeating it.
