Delete a webhook
DELETEhttps://api.wapito.com/v1/webhooks/{id}
Send a channel token on every request: Authorization: Bearer wpt_YOUR_TOKEN
Removes a webhook subscription and cancels every delivery job still pending for it. Events produced afterwards are simply not queued for this endpoint. Disable the webhook instead when you only want to pause deliveries, because deleting loses the configuration and the signing secret for good.
