Responses

DELETE/v1/responses/{id}

Delete a response

Hard-deletes one response: the session, its answers and its transcript. Not reversible and not a soft delete. It reaches our systems only — a row already copied into your Google Sheet, or already delivered to your webhook endpoint, stays where it was sent.

This is a record-level delete, so it leaves the personalized link the respondent arrived through untouched — that link may have other responses behind it. To erase the person, including the subjectRef and prefill on their links, use POST /subjects/{subjectRef}/erase.

Requires the responses:write scope.
