Forget a saved mapping

DELETE /mappings/{mappingId}

Imports already run are unaffected. Appends import.mapping-deleted. Idempotent: a retry meets 404 and appends nothing.

Access

Requires imports:write.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

Idempotent: a retry meets 404 and appends nothing.

A retry with the same key answers 204, with what the first call recorded.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

import.mapping-deleted

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

AI agent tool

Agents call this as imports_delete_mapping (Imports: Delete mapping), in the imports toolset. It is marked destructive, so the agent asks before running it.

Example

curl

curl -X DELETE 'https://import.getmanifold.io/mappings/map_01a15890-3e80-7c31-8d42-5e6f7a8b9ca2' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MANIFOLD_TOKEN"

JavaScript (fetch)

const response = await fetch("https://import.getmanifold.io/mappings/map_01a15890-3e80-7c31-8d42-5e6f7a8b9ca2", {
  method: "DELETE",
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.MANIFOLD_TOKEN}` },
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`${response.status}: ${await response.text()}`);

Answers 204 with no body.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: import-export.openapi.json. Base URL https://import.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`404`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MappingNotFound` mappingId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again, with the same key.

How refusals work everywhere: Errors.
