# Delete a message template

```http
DELETE https://secure.yoprint.com/v2/api/store/{team_slug}/setting/message_template/{hash_id}
```

- API version: v2
- Operation ID: `v2_public_message_template_destroy`
- Section: Team settings › [Message templates](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/message-templates.md)
- Web page: https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/message-templates/v2-message-template-destroy/
- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`

Deletes one of your saved templates for good. System templates can't be deleted: the call answers 500 `delete_fail` and changes nothing.

## Permission

Needs the Manage Settings permission. The team owner always has it.

## Side effects

- Team members who have YoPrint open see it disappear at once.

## Path parameters

- `team_slug` (string, required): Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile. Example `your-team`.
- `hash_id` (string, required): The message template. Its hash id from an earlier answer; there is no unique key for it. Example `DVubREua5aJkwh`.

## Request body

This operation takes no request body.

### Example request

```bash
curl -X DELETE 'https://secure.yoprint.com/v2/api/store/your-team/setting/message_template/DVubREua5aJkwh' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-Yoprint-Decimal-Format: exact-v1'
```

## Response

`200` Successful response.

Fields:

- `data` (null, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `success` (boolean, required)

Example response:

```json
{
  "data": null,
  "status": 200,
  "success": true
}
```

## Errors

- `401` The API key is missing or wrong (`unauthenticated`).
- `403` You are not allowed to do this. `api_access_not_in_plan`: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`. Other refusals use the error envelope, with `unauthorized` or `user_is_not_authorized`.
  - When: Your role lacks Manage Settings. The body is `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`, without the error envelope. Fix: Use the key of a member whose role has Manage Settings, or the owner's.
- `404` Not found. `page_not_found`: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. `code: null`, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.
  - When: No template of your team has this id. `error.code` is null; `error.message` names the record type. Fix: Use an id from the list.
- `500` A business rule refused the request (see the operation's errors), or something failed inside YoPrint. Refusals use the error envelope with a code such as `action_not_allowed`; an unexpected failure answers `{"message": "Server Error"}`. Repeating a refusal gets the same answer; after an unexpected failure, read the record back before you retry a change.
  - When: It is a system template: `error.code` `delete_fail`, `error.message` null. Nothing is deleted. Fix: Edit it instead.
