I have created Timeline event using the hubspot-api-client-10.1.1

`event_api = Hubspot::Crm::Timeline::EventsApi.new(...)timeline_event = ::Hubspot::Crm::Timeline::TimelineEvent.new(..)response = events_api.create(timeline_event, auth_names: "oauth2")`

in the reponse we have event Id just created, I want to update the created event but I did not find any method in the EventApi class. How to update the existing event? If update is not possible can we delete the Event?

Hi @gsskumar

There is no way to delete/update a timeline event, once an event was created.  
Only we can update or delete timeline event templates which is created in the developer account using API.

Due to a code bug, one customer’s token value was populated incorrectly in the timeline event. If we cannot update the events, is there any way we can fix the token value?

@GRajput could you point me to any document that explains why we cannot delete/update Timeline events? I would like to pass this information along to the customer and team.
