README — DELETE /api/v1/orgs/{id}/invitations/{inviteId}

Withdraw an invitation (managers)#

DELETE /api/v1/orgs/{id}/invitations/{inviteId} · Operation ID: cancelOrgInvitation

App purpose#

Withdraws a pending invitation and releases its reserved seat. It does not remove an already accepted member. Refresh members separately if acceptance raced with cancellation.

Authentication and authority#

Bearer credential with orgs:manage. Owner/admin or manager through members.manage.
Scopes do not replace role, ownership, plan, current membership or effective-policy checks. The team edition uses the shared organisation route with a team ID; it does not change the backend schema for classes.

Example#

Replace all REPLACE_* values and use an authorised disposable team for tests. Read-only examples still require the appropriate data access. Mutating examples change team state; policy PUT examples are complete replacements.
curl --fail-with-body -X DELETE 'https://handwrites.io/api/v1/orgs/REPLACE_TEAM_ID/invitations/REPLACE_INVITATION_ID' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANDWRITE_ACCESS_TOKEN"

Parameters#

NameInRequiredMeaning
idpathYesAn organisation ID (org_…).
inviteIdpathYesAn invitation ID.

Responses and recovery#

StatusMeaningFormat
204Withdrawn.No body specified
401unauthorized: no token, or it's invalid, revoked or expired.application/json
403insufficient_scope, forbidden (you can see it but not do this), app_test_restricted, account_deleted (the account is scheduled for deletion; any request).application/json
404not_found: it doesn't exist or you can't see it (never 403 for documents you can't see).application/json
429rate_limited (burst or daily cap) or quota_exceeded (no characters left).application/json
500internal_error.application/json
Treat 403 as a current authority/policy failure and 404 as unavailable to this caller, without probing other accounts. Plan and seat checks may add 402 failures beyond generic reference responses. Retry only when the operation semantics permit it; keep Request-Id for support. Do not parse a 204 or 304 as JSON.
Read Team API specification notes, roles and access, and credential boundaries for the shared rules.
