Delete group

Endpoint

DELETE /organizations/{org_id}/groups/{group_id}

This endpoint permanently deletes a group from your Tallyfy organization. It doesn’t delete the members or guests themselves — only the group association.

Request

Replace {org_id} with your Organization ID and {group_id} with the ID of the group you want to delete.

Headers

• Authorization: Bearer {your_access_token}
• Accept: application/json
• X-Tallyfy-Client: APIClient

Body

No request body is needed.

Response

A successful request returns a 204 No Content status with an empty response body. This is a permanent (hard) deletion — the group can’t be recovered after deletion.

Tags > Delete tag

Tallyfy’s DELETE endpoint at /organizations/[org_id]/tags/[tag_id] permanently removes a tag and all its associations with templates and processes and steps and tasks — returning a 204 No Content response even if the tag ID does not exist.

Groups > Get group

The Tallyfy API lets you fetch details of a specific group within your organization by sending a GET request to /organizations/[org_id]/groups/[group_id] and it returns the group’s name and description along with member IDs and guest emails and timestamps with an optional with=assets parameter to include logo file details.

Tasks > Delete task

Tallyfy’s API lets you permanently delete a standalone one-off task along with all its form fields and captured values by sending a DELETE request to the task’s endpoint which returns a 204 No Content response on success and cannot be undone.

Code Samples > Managing groups

Tallyfy’s Groups API lets you bundle members and guests into reusable groups that can be assigned to tasks and processes through standard create/list/get/update/delete operations scoped to your organization.
