DELETE
Deletes one custom list for the authenticated organization. The database foreign key cascades to list_memberships, so all memberships in the list are deleted with it. This does not delete the underlying people or any membership those people have on a Target or another list. If a person was visible to Monitoring only through this list, deleting the list removes that list-based tracking membership. A Target membership continues to be tracked independently.
string
required
List UUID or case-insensitive name. Use the UUID to avoid ambiguity when names collide.

Response

204 No Content with an empty body. There is no response JSON, pagination metadata, or next link.

Errors and retry safety

  • 400 (invalid_request): when using the platform API key, provide a valid X-FreshTalent-Org-Id UUID.
  • 401 (unauthorized): provide a valid API key.
  • 402 (payment_required): restore entitlement.
  • 403 (forbidden): the list is Gateway-managed (is_default: true) and cannot be deleted.
  • 404 (not_found): no matching list exists in the organization.
  • 429 or 5xx: the outcome can be unknown. Reconcile with List lists before retrying. Once deletion has succeeded, a repeat returns 404, so clients that want delete-if-present semantics can treat a confirmed 404 as already complete.
Deletion is irreversible for the list and its memberships. Do not retry after an unknown response until you have checked whether the list still exists.
