JSON 
{
  "data": {
    "resource": "people",
    "record_id": 123,
    "person_location_event_ids": [
      901
    ],
    "asset_event_ids": [],
    "subscription_event_ids": [],
    "todo": null,
    "space": null,
    "state": {
      "status": "inactive"
    }
  }
}

Behavior and constraints

State changes reject future timestamps (422) and dates preceding newer relevant state changes (409). Omit event_date to use now. Existing assignments are preserved. Repeating the current status adds no history. Reactivation respects plan limits. Inactive people cannot receive new assignments; inactive locations remain assignable.

Errors

401 means the token is missing, expired, revoked, or not a customer API token. 403 means a required permission or administrator access is missing. 404 means the record or child record is unavailable in this organization. 422 identifies invalid or unsupported input; inspect the errors object when present. 409 indicates a conflicting state or concurrent change; inspect the message and refresh the record before deciding how to proceed. Reusing an idempotency key with a different method, path, or body also returns 409. 429 means a rate limit was reached. See error handling and rate limits.
