It leaves the partner's dashboard and domains, and the webhooks the partner's keys and people set up on it stop sending. The owner has to have accepted their invitation first, or it's a 409, and so is a business whose number is still being bought. A business whose package subscription is live is a 409 too: cancel it in Stripe first. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /partner/businesses/{business_id}/release openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: LobbyStack API version: v1 description: >- Read calls, contacts, appointments and messages, book appointments, and subscribe to webhooks.
