# marketingActivitiesDeleteAllExternal - admin-graphql - MUTATION
Version: 2024-10

## Description
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.

### Access Scopes
`write_marketing_events` access scope.


## Arguments


## Returns
* [job](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/objects/Job): Job The asynchronous job that performs the deletion. The status of the job may be used to determine when it's safe again to create new activities.
* [userErrors](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/objects/MarketingActivityUserError): MarketingActivityUserError! The list of errors that occurred from executing the mutation.
