      intent: Cancel an uncaptured authorisation
      effect: destructive
      questions:
      - Can I release the hold on a card before capturing the payment?
      - Which payment methods allow cancelling after authorisation?
      instructions:
      - text: Cancel the authorisation {originalReference} on merchant {merchantAccount}.
        slots:
          originalReference: requestBody.originalReference
          merchantAccount: requestBody.merchantAccount
      - text: Release the authorisation hold on {originalReference} for {merchantAccount} with reference {reference}.
        slots:
          originalReference: requestBody.originalReference
          merchantAccount: requestBody.merchantAccount
          reference: requestBody.reference
