SonoraSonora API

Delete a custom field

DELETE
/customer-fields/{key}
curl --request DELETE \
  --url https://api.usesonora.com/v1/customer-fields/example \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Delete a custom field, as deleting its column in Sonora does: every customer’s value for it is erased, and can’t be brought back. Edits that took the field over from sync end with it. An import that maps the field may define it again on its next run.

Requires the custom-fields:manage scope. API keys only.

Try it

Try it runs the reference's read endpoints, and this one changes data, so it needs an API key with the custom-fields:manage scope. Create a key in Sonora under Settings → API and call it from your own code.
