active_group_links (409)

← Error reference

active_group_links

HTTP status: 409

Retryable: No — retrying without changes will fail the same way.

One or more active verification links still reference the workflow template you tried to delete.

When it fires

A `DELETE /v1/workflow-templates/{id}` targeted a template that has at least one active (`status="active"`) shared link pointing to it. Deleting the template while live links reference it would leave those links in a broken state for applicants, so the operation is refused.

How to handle it

Inspect the `details.linkIds` array in the response to find the blocking links, then disable each one from the console Links list or via `PATCH /v1/links/{id}`. Once all referencing links are disabled, retry the delete.
