Delete a suppression group



API overview

api-overview page anchor

A suppression group, or an unsubscribe group, is a specific type of email from which your recipients can unsubscribe. For example, daily newsletter and system alerts can be suppression groups. Manage your suppression groups using Twilio Sendgrid API. You can also specify suppression groups by using an X-SMTPAPI header.

Make sure that the names and descriptions of your suppression groups are recipient-friendly. Recipients can view these names and descriptions when managing their email subscriptions.

You can create and retrieve up to 200 suppression groups for a Twilio Sendgrid account.


DELETE/v3/asm/groups/{group_id}

Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com (for global users and subusers)

Base url: https://api.eu.sendgrid.com (for EU regional subusers)

This endpoint allows you to delete a suppression group.

If a recipient uses the "one-click unsubscribe" option on an email associated with a deleted group, that recipient will be added to the global suppression list.

Deleting a suppression group will remove the suppression, meaning email will once again be sent to the previously suppressed addresses. This should be avoided unless a recipient indicates they wish to receive email from you again. You can use our bypass filters to deliver messages to otherwise suppressed addresses when exceptions are required.

The on-behalf-of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>). See On Behalf Of for more information.
