How do I delete a Twist channel?
Short answer: You can delete channel in Twist by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Twist Delete Channel action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs

FAQ
Questions about Delete Channel.
What does the Delete Channel action do in Twist?
Permanently deletes a Twist channel and all of its threads. Irreversible; gate behind a confirmation step.
What inputs does Delete Channel require?
Required: ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Twist returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Twist returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Delete Channel support batch operations?
Run Delete Channel inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Twist's rate limits.
