Groups API FAQ

Updated: May 21, 2026

What happens when I delete a group?

  • No members, including you, will be able to message the group.
  • Cloud API delivers any messages or statuses it received before you deleted the group, so you may still receive webhooks for those messages or statuses.
Some possible reasons include:
  • The invite link might have been deleted.
  • You removed the participant from the group previously.
  • The group is already full.
