​
Overview

The Cancel message API can be used to stop scheduled messages from being sent. It does not delete or remove the message from the app. If a message is in the process of sending, then canceling it may not fully prevent all targeted users from receiving it.

​
How to use this API

This API is most commonly used when sending Transactional messages to individual users, scheduling the message in the future with send_after. The response of our Create message API has an id which corresponds to the message_id used in this request. You can store this message_id on your server and use this API to cancel sending the message to the user if not needed anymore.

If you need a way to remove a notification already sent to a user, see Remove notifications & TTL.
