# `bird whatsapp keyword-rules delete`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp keyword-rules delete <id> [flags]
```

## Description

Delete one of your own keyword rules. The next rule in the ladder answers that scope instead, which is not always one of yours: Bird's rule for the sender's country outranks your worldwide rule. The keywords the deleted rule added go with it, so a word only it matched stops matching. List the rules to read the order. Bird's rules cannot be deleted.

This is destructive and cannot be undone; pass --yes to confirm.

## Examples

```bash
bird whatsapp keyword-rules delete <id> --yes
```
