Welcome to the new home of Slack developer docs!

We're still building and not all features are available quite yet. Enjoy this peek into the future!

Usage info

This method deletes a pending scheduled message before it is sent.

There are two ways to determine the scheduled_message_id of a message you wish to delete:

  • The response of the chat.scheduleMessage endpoint contains the scheduled_message_id needed to delete that message.
  • You can also retrieve the scheduled_message_ids for all the messages you've scheduled by calling chat.scheduledMessages.list.

Restrictions

You cannot delete scheduled messages that have already been posted to Slack or that will be posted to Slack within 60 seconds of the delete request. If attempted, this method will respond with an invalid_scheduled_message_id error.
