This removes saved input only. A campaign you already created from the brief keeps running, and deleting the brief does not change it.

Anyone with access to the app can delete any of its briefs, not only the person who created it.

<Note>This endpoint accepts a personal API key. Workspace API keys are not authorized for it and are rejected with a 403.</Note>

<Warning>The response includes fields beyond the ones documented here. Don't rely on undocumented response fields, as they can change at any time.</Warning>

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- CampaignStatusResponse: Acknowledgement returned by the single-campaign state changes.
  - `status` string, required: The action that was applied: `paused`, `resumed`, or `deleted`.

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing or invalid credentials.
- `403`: You don't have access to this app, the app does not exist, or you used a workspace API key. A missing app and an app you cannot reach are deliberately the same answer. Marketing setup, campaign edits, generation and resuming also return `app_marketing_not_allowed` when the app's owning workspace has the FERPA designation. Historical reads, pausing, deletion and financial settlement remain available.
- `404`: There is no brief with this ID on this app.
