Delete booking is a WordPress ability from LatePoint — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Delete booking
DestructivePermanently remove a booking record from the database.
Requires the LatePoint plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the WordPress Abilities API is only available from 6.9 onward). All abilities also require the site's 'latepoint_abilities_api' master toggle to be enabled; write abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_edit' setting, and destructive abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_delete' setting. Each ability further requires the current user to hold the matching LatePoint capability (e.g. 'booking__view', 'customer__edit'), and some abilities also verify the user is allowed to act on that specific record.
What it does
This ability permanently deletes a booking by ID. Unlike cancel-booking, which just changes the status and keeps the record, this removes the row entirely and cannot be undone — use it only when you genuinely want the booking gone rather than marked cancelled. If the booking doesn't exist, a not-found error is returned; if the deletion itself fails, a server error is returned instead.

Inputs
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | integer | Yes | Booking ID to delete. |
Returns
On success, an object confirming deletion: { deleted: true, id }. Returns a not-found error if the booking doesn't exist, or a deletion error if the delete operation fails.
Permission
The current user must have LatePoint's 'booking__delete' capability, and both the 'latepoint_abilities_api' and 'latepoint_abilities_api_delete' settings must be enabled. It also verifies the current user is allowed to delete this specific record.
