Delete a workflow

This is an experimental feature and is not recommended for use in a production environment. For updates on the progress of the feature or if you want to leave feedback, see the associated GitHub issue.
{: .warning}

When you no longer need a workflow template, you can delete it by calling the Delete Workflow API.

Note that deleting a workflow only deletes the stored template but does not deprovision its resources.

Path and HTTP methods

DELETE /_plugins/_flow_framework/workflow/<workflow_id>

Path parameters

The following table lists the available path parameters.

Parameter	Data type	Description
workflow_id	String	The ID of the workflow to be retrieved. Required.

Example request
