Delete Contact

Permanently delete a contact from your workspace. The contact path parameter accepts either the contact UUID or the current workspace identity value.

Deletion Behavior

How contact lookup and deletion work

  • Pass the contact UUID or the workspace identity value to resolve the contact.
  • Email identity lookups are normalized before matching, so surrounding whitespace and letter casing do not affect the lookup.
  • A successful request permanently deletes the contact and returns an empty response body.
  • Associated comments, message events, delivery routes, messages, campaign executions, and segment membership records are deleted with the contact.
  • The resolved contact must belong to the API key's workspace.

Success and Errors

Expected outcomes for delete requests

  • Successful requests return an empty success response body.

  • The endpoint returns 403 if the resolved contact does not belong to the API key's workspace or the token does not have access to it.
