**[Problem/Question]** How do I remove a user from a channel via the platform API? The docs don’t seem to have this, and the bot says ```auto To remove a user from a group channel through the Sendbird Platform API, you would typically use the "leave" action. However, the provided knowledge base does not include a direct API endpoint for removing a user from a group channel using the Platform API. In general, to remove a user from a group channel, you would need to make an HTTP DELETE request to the appropriate endpoint with the necessary parameters, such as the `channel_url` and the `user_id` of the user you want to remove. The request would also require authentication, usually in the form of an API token or session token. ``` I tried a DELETE to “/group\_channels/#{channel\_url}/members/#{user\_id}” but that gives me an empty response and does not seem to do anything (but it also doesn’t complain about an incorrect url!) * * * // If problem, please fill out the below. If question, please delete. **[SDK Version]** v3 platform api **[Reproduction Steps]** see above **[Frequency]** every time **[Current impact]** preventing a prod feature
