Cancel Message Syntax

📐 Basic Rules

• Use Key=Value to set up instructions. Multiple keys can be separated by commas (,).
• Spacing around keys, values, or between multiple keys is not important.
• Keys are case-insensitive - upper or lower case does not matter.
• The order of Key=Value pairs is not important. You can arrange them in any order.
• Each action requires mandatory keys to be considered valid.
• Optional keys can be included to provide additional settings or data.
• Keys that are not supported by the action will be ignored.
• Maximum message length is 512 characters.
