# Release Inventory Hold

`POST /v1/integrations/inventory-hold/release`

Releases the whole inventory hold, so the held units can be shipped again.

## General description
- Unlike creating and updating a hold, releasing works at any time, also once the receiving has started.
- A hold that is still awaiting ShipMonk review ends `cancelled` instead of `released`; the response message tells which of the two happened.
- The call is idempotent, so releasing an already released hold succeeds and changes nothing.

## Request body

- ShipMonkPublicApiInventoryHoldInventoryHoldReleaseReleaseInventoryHoldInput
  - `inventory_hold_uuid` string, required — Identifier of the inventory hold to release, as returned when it was created.

## Response `200`

Success

- ShipMonkOMSQuarantineApiResourcePublicApiInventoryHoldChangedOutput
  - `inventory_hold_uuid` string, required — Identifier of the inventory hold the call acted on.
  - `message` string, required — Human-readable message describing what happened to the inventory hold.

## Changes

- **2026-08-28** `9c1d10357491` — 1 info
  - endpoint added
