Delete a contact

Removes the contact and, in the same transaction, every audience membership it held, including the built-in default one. No mail moves, and the address can still be written to.

DELETEapi.openemail.uk/contacts/{email}

Runs the real call against your workspace, with your own key.

DELETE /contacts/{email}

Removes the contact and, in the same transaction, every audience membership it held, including the built-in default one. No mail moves, and the address can still be written to.

Example

Needs contacts:write. URL-encode the @.

curl

curl -X DELETE "$OE/contacts/grace%40example.com" -H "$AUTH"

Response

{  "object": "contact",  "email": "[email protected]",  "deleted": true}

There is no undo. Creating the address again makes a new contact with no name, no notes and no membership beyond the default audience.

A member sending mail to the same address from the app composer later records it again as a fresh auto contact.

An address that is not in the book is a 404.
