Delete Lightning Experience Event Series

Use the HTTP DELETE method to remove one or more IsRecurrence2 events in a series. You can remove a single event, all events following and including a specific event, or an entire event series.

Deleting a Single Event in a Series

Use the sObject Rows resource to delete event records. To delete a single occurrence in a series, specify the event ID and use the DELETE method of the resource to delete a record.

Delete from an Event Onwards

To delete all events in a series from a specific occurrence and onwards, specify the event ID and use the DELETE method of the resource to delete a record. When calling this method, IsRecurrence2 must be true and IsRecurrence2Exclusion must be false.

Example for deleting from an event onwards
1curlhttps://yourInstance.salesforce.com/services/data/v53.0/sobjects/Event/00Uxx0000000000/fromThisEventOnwards -H
Example request body
1None needed
Example response body after successfully deleting events from the series
1{
2success: We’re deleting the selected events from the series. Wait for all events to be removed. 
3}

Delete All Events in a Series

To delete an entire event series, specify the event ID of the first occurrence in the series and use the DELETE method of the resource to delete a record.

Example for deleting an entire series
1curlhttps://yourInstance.salesforce.com/services/data/v53.0/sobjects/Event/00Uxx0000000000/fromThisEventOnwards -H "Authorization: Bearer token -X DELETE
Example request body
1None needed
Example response body after successfully deleting events from the series
1{
2success: We’re deleting the selected events from the series. Wait for all events to be removed. 
3}

Considerations

Delete from an Event Onwards does not support calls from events that:
  • Occurred before the original value of Recurrence2PatternStartDate.
  • Are defined as child events.

If the event series originated outside of Salesforce and the event ID of the first occurrence is unavailable, you can’t delete all events in a series. Instead, delete events from a specific occurrence onwards.
