Sample request

Basic format Used to delete group members. A single request supports deleting up to 100 group members. By default, the backend sends system notifications on the group member deletion to all group members, except for Private groups (same as Work groups in the new version) that have not been activated. Even if a user to be deleted is not in the group, the API will still return success.
{
  "GroupId": "@TGS#2J4SZEAEL", // Target group (required)
  "MemberToDel_Account": [ // List of group members to be deleted. A maximum of 100 members can be deleted.
      "tommy",
      "jared"
  ]
}
Silent deletion When Silence is set to 1, the system will not notify anyone after successfully deleting a member.
{
  "GroupId": "@TGS#2J4SZEAEL", // Target group (required)
  "Silence": 1, // Whether to delete members silently (optional)
  "MemberToDel_Account": [ // List of group members to be deleted. A maximum of 100 members can be deleted.
      "tommy",
      "jared"
  ]
}
Specifying the reason for deletion Specify the reason for deleting a user from a group, which will be reflected in the delivered notification.
{
  "GroupId": "@TGS#2J4SZEAEL", // Target group (required)
  "Reason": "kick reason", // Reason for deleting a user from a group (optional)
  "MemberToDel_Account": [ // List of group members to be deleted. A maximum of 100 members can be deleted.
      "tommy",
      "jared"
