How to delete pipeline job through mail approval in groovy - jenkins

Question

I am trying to write groovy script which should send an email notification to the approver for deleting a pipeline job in Jenkins.
I am able to send email and get the approvers input, but I am confused on how to retrieve the input(Proceed or Abort).If input is Proceed, I should delete the job and if it is Abort, job shouldn't be deleted.
I looked at some reference and used "approveReceivedEvent" , but it is not working. Is there any way for retrieving user input?
Below is my code snippet
stage ('DELETE')
build job: 'JOBNAME', wait: true
mail to: 'xxx#xxx', subject: "Please approve #${env.JOB_NAME} to delete",
body: <p>Job '${env.JOB_NAME}" + environment + "[${env.BUILD_NUMBER}]' NEEDS APPROVAL</p><p>Please approve at &QUOT;<a href='${env.JOB_URL}'>${env.JOB_NAME} [${env.BUILD_NUMBER}]</a>&QUOT;</p>"
try {
input id: 'Proceed', message: "\nDo you want to proceed to delete job?"
} catch (err) {
//approveReceivedEvent(id: id, approved: false)
throw err
}
//approveReceivedEvent(id: id, approved: true)
}
job(env.JOB_NAME) {
steps {
dsl {
removeAction('DELETE')
}
}
}
Modified the code.Below is the code snippet which worked.
def userInput = input (message: 'Approve Delete', submitterParameter: 'isApproved')
echo ("userInput was: " + userInput)
if(userInput.equals("Yes"))
{
job(env.JOB_NAME) {
steps {
dsl {
removeAction('DELETE')
}
}
}
}
else
{
echo("No Approval received to delete Job")
}

What you can try is , make a separate job (lets call it 'J') with the above mentioned code snippet and make it have the same parameters as input which are required by your code like :
JOB_NAME , BUILD_NUMBER , APPROVED etc.
Now in your original job when you send the mail you can give links for APPROVED = YES or 1 and APPROVED = NO or 0 . In those links you can remotely trigger your job 'J' with the parameters you sent in the mail and APPROVED parameter as 1 or 0 for the two links .
