# gc_unfollow

> Unfollow a View

Remove the authenticated user's follow on a View. Idempotent — the result reports whether a follow existed. Re-following later restores any customized alert triggers.

## Input

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| targetRequired | object | The View to follow — anything gc_search marks followable: true. |
