Cancel Scheduled Message

Delayed delivery as well as repeated publish messages can be canceled using the API documented below:

Backendless.Messaging.cancel( messageId )
 .then( function( messageStatus ) {
  })
 .catch( function( error ) {
  });

where:

Argument	Description
messageId	ID of the message to cancel. Message ID must be obtained from the MessageStatus object returned in the result of the Publish method.

Return value

{
  status : value,
  messageId: messageIdValue
}

If the status property is "cancelled", the cancellation has been successful.

var channel = "TestChannel",
    message = "Hello, world!",
    pubOps = null;
    deliveryOps = new Backendless.DeliveryOptions({
          publishAt: (new Date()).getTime() + 60 * 1000 // 1 minute delay
    });

Backendless.Messaging.publish( channel, message, pubOps, deliveryOps )
 .then( function( messageStatus ) {
   Backendless.Messaging.cancel( response.messageId );
 })
.catch( function( error ) {
