# Delete keep-in-touch cadences in bulk (v2)

`POST /v2/keep-in-touch/cadences/batch-delete`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.prod.getdex.com`
- URL: `https://api.prod.getdex.com/v2/keep-in-touch/cadences/batch-delete`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Delete the Team cadence (owners, admins, standard members) or the caller's own My cadence (`kind`) of up to 1000 contacts (`contact_ids`). Another member's My cadence is never touched; a contact with no cadence of that kind the caller can see is reported in `not_found_contact_ids`. The contacts are written in pages that commit independently, so a failed request may have deleted some: retrying the same body is safe. Closed to API keys. Workspace-only: send the `X-Dex-Workspace` header (400 `workspace_context_required` without it). **Requires an `Idempotency-Key` header**. Returns `{ data: { affected, ids: [cadenceId], contact_ids, not_found_contact_ids } }`.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `kind` 'team' | 'my', required
  - `contact_ids` string[], required

## Response `200`

Successful response

    - `affected` integer, required
