FAQ

Questions about Delete Contact.

What does the Delete Contact action do in Intercom?

Deletes a contact from Intercom by ID. Use for GDPR right-to-delete requests or unsubscribe cleanup; conversations are preserved.

What inputs does Delete Contact require?

Required: Contact ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Intercom returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Intercom returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Delete Contact support batch operations?

Run Delete Contact inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Intercom's rate limits.
