**Delete automation** · Deletes or overwrites data

Deletes an automation permanently, so it no longer acts on any lead. Records already pushed to CRMs or campaigns stay where they are. To stop it while keeping the setup, use toggle_automation with isActive false. Get automationId from list_automations. Confirm with the user before calling. Returns status 'Successful', or 404 'No automation found'.
