Disconnect compliance footer from Brand kit

Outcome

Switch the footer back to manual mode: messages rendered from now on use the Engage-owned manual values. With copyToManual true, the current Brand footer (resolved live, else the last-known-good resolve) is first copied into the manual values (manual.source becomes brand); 409 brand_footer_unavailable when there is no Brand footer to copy, and the mode is unchanged. Already rendered and approved messages keep their footer. Disconnecting a workspace already in manual mode changes nothing. Verify with sending.compliance.get (mode manual); roll back with sending.compliance.connect_brand.

Before you start

• Verify the intended environment, signed-in credential, authorized organization and the action permission workspace:write.
• Discover and select an authorized canonical Engage workspace. Pass resourceType=workspace and resourceId separately from action input.
• Review the exact effects and obtain approval before CLI --confirm or MCP confirm:true. A local capture does not authorize a live mutation.

Discover the target

topolo whoami --json
topolo actions get app_topolo_engage.sending.compliance.disconnect_brand --json
topolo workspaces list topolo-engage --json

Set ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID to the identifier of the selected authorized workspace.

Input contract

Validate, plan and execute

Build payload.json from the current schema and discovered identifiers. The action description above defines its behavior, limits, side effects and declared errors.

: "${ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID:?Set ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID to your selected workspace identifier}"
topolo actions validate app_topolo_engage.sending.compliance.disconnect_brand --data @payload.json --json
topolo actions plan app_topolo_engage.sending.compliance.disconnect_brand --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --confirm --json

Review the plan and approve its exact effects before executing the unchanged request.

: "${ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID:?Set ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID to your selected workspace identifier}"
topolo actions call app_topolo_engage.sending.compliance.disconnect_brand --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$ENGAGE_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --confirm --json

For MCP, use topolo_get_action, topolo_validate_action, topolo_plan_action and topolo_call_action. Pass resource context separately where required; confirm:true is required for mutations.

Effects and response meaning

• Switch the footer back to manual mode: messages rendered from now on use the Engage-owned manual values. With copyToManual true, the current Brand footer (resolved live, else the last-known-good resolve) is first copied into the manual values (manual.source becomes brand); 409 brand_footer_unavailable when there is no Brand footer to copy, and the mode is unchanged. Already rendered and approved messages keep their footer. Disconnecting a workspace already in manual mode changes nothing. Verify with sending.compliance.get (mode manual); roll back with sending.compliance.connect_brand.

Verify the outcome

• Check the response against the declared output schema and the requested operation. For mutations, use the action-specific read described in the action description before any dependent operation.

Recover

For an uncertain result, inspect current retained state with a read action before retrying. Do not replay a mutation unless its contract explicitly guarantees idempotency.

Error recovery

• HTTP 403 permission_denied: Stop and inspect the current credential and selected resource. It needs workspace:write; do not broaden access or switch organization automatically.
• HTTP 422 invalid_action_input: Correct the request against the current action input schema, then validate it again before planning.
• HTTP 409 brand_footer_unavailable: Preserve the request and inspect the declared dependency state. Retry only after the transient or configuration cause is resolved; do not infer that the operation completed.
