Email Deployment Remove Audience

Summary

The Deployment Remove Audience API provides the ability to remove a list that is currently assigned to a deployment.

At the time the call is made, the system will first check that the list name submitted in the request JSON is indeed currently assigned to the deployment. If it is assigned, the service will unassign the list from the deployment.

If the list is not found assigned to the deployment, the service will return a 404 not found response.

Please keep the following in mind: If the first call to remove a list succeeds the response will be 200. If the same call is made again, the response will be a 404 error with a description that the deployment does not have an assigned list (because you removed it in your previous call).

An HTTP POST request is used when remove a list that is assigned to a deployment.
