Replace `example` with your AI Agent's handle. A successful call returns a `202` with a `job_id` you can poll for status. Requests that set `client_reference` are idempotent for 24 hours: an identical resubmission within that window returns the original job instead of creating a new one. Requests that omit `client_reference` are not deduplicated. Separately, the erasure engine rejects an identifier submitted within the previous 7 days, and a single identifier in that cooldown can fail an entire job. Reference: https://docs.ada.cx/reference/end-users/bulk-deletion/submit-a-bulk-end-user-deletion-request ## Request ### Body (application/json) This endpoint expects a DeletionRequest. - `identifiers` (list of DeletionIdentifier, required) — The identifiers to erase. At least one is required, and a single request accepts at most 1000. - `client_reference` (string, optional, nullable) — Optional caller-supplied reference echoed back on the job. It is also the idempotency key: two identical requests that set the same reference within 24 hours resolve to the same job. Requests that omit it are not deduplicated. ## Response ### 202 The deletion request was accepted and a job was created. - `job_id` (string, optional) — Identifier of the created deletion job. Use it to poll job status. - `status` (enum, optional) — Lifecycle state of a deletion job. `queued` and `in_progress` are non-terminal; `completed`, `partial`, and `failed` are terminal. - Allowed values: `queued`, `in_progress`, `completed`, `partial`, `failed` - `submitted_count` (integer, optional) — Number of identifiers received in the request. - `created_at` (string, optional) — Time the job was created, in ISO 8601 format. ## Errors ### 400 Bad Request Error Invalid request body, for example no identifiers. - `any` ### 401 Unauthorized Error Authentication token is missing or invalid. Try generating a new token. - `any` ### 403 Forbidden Error The token is not authorized to perform this operation. - `any` ### 413 Content Too Large Error The request body exceeds the maximum size of 512 KB. Split the identifiers across multiple requests. - `any` ### 429 Too Many Requests Error Too many requests. Retry after slowing the request rate. - `any` ### 500 Internal Server Error Something went wrong on Ada's end. - `any` ## Types ### DeletionIdentifier A single reference to the end user(s) whose data should be erased. - `type` (enum, required) — The kind of identifier supplied. `variable_match` selects every end user whose stored variable equals the value. - Allowed values: `email`, `chatter_id`, `external_id`, `end_user_id`, `variable_match` - `value` (string, required) — The identifier value. Email values are normalized and matched case-insensitively; `external_id` values are trimmed and lowercased at intake. - `variable` (string, optional, nullable) — Name of the stored variable to match against `value`. Required only when `type` is `variable_match`; leave null for all other types. ## Examples **Request** ```json { "identifiers": [ { "type": "email", "value": "end-user@example.com" }, { "type": "end_user_id", "value": "6463dbcfafb2e65a02fbc5ee" }, { "type": "variable_match", "value": "acme-corp", "variable": "company" } ], "client_reference": "ticket-4821" } ``` **Response** ```json { "job_id": "job_01HXW...ZK", "status": "queued", "submitted_count": 3, "created_at": "2026-07-10T14:05:00Z" } ``` **SDK Code** ```python import requests url = "https://example.ada.support/api/v2/end-users/delete" payload = { "identifiers": [ { "type": "email", "value": "end-user@example.com" }, { "type": "end_user_id", "value": "6463dbcfafb2e65a02fbc5ee" }, { "type": "variable_match", "value": "acme-corp", "variable": "company" } ], "client_reference": "ticket-4821" } headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"} response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers) print(response.json()) ``` ```javascript const url = 'https://example.ada.support/api/v2/end-users/delete';
