# Delete Campaign Step

> Remove a step from a campaign sequence

## Request

### Path Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  The campaign's unique ID (UUID)
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="step_id" type="string" required>
  The step's unique ID (UUID)
</ParamField>

### Headers

```
Authorization: Bearer wbk_your_api_key_here
```

<Note>
  Requires an API key with the `campaigns:write` permission.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Subsequent step indexes are **compacted** after deletion — a step previously at index 3 becomes index 2. Contacts currently between steps may skip the deleted step. If you want to preserve history, pause the campaign first.
</Warning>
