Delete Contact
Deletes a lemlist contact by id or email. Cascades to leads, opportunities, lists, inbox and activities.
DELETE
Delete Contact
Removes a lemlist contact resolved by its id (
ctc_xxx) or email. Only the lemlist record is deleted — no CRM-side propagation is performed.
Deletion cascades: the contact’s leads, opportunities, contact-list associations, inbox conversations and activities are removed alongside it.
The request fails with 409 CONTACT_DELETE_BLOCKED when the contact cannot be deleted right now — for example while an enrichment is still running on it (retry once it finishes); the response error.message states the specific reason. A missing contact returns 404 CONTACT_NOT_FOUND.
