marketingActivitiesDeleteAllExternal

mutation

Requires write_marketing_events access scope.

Deletes all external marketing activities. Deletion is performed by a background job, as it may take a bit of time to complete if a large number of activities are to be deleted. Attempting to create or modify external activities before the job has completed will result in the create/update/upsert mutation returning an error.
