FAQ

Questions about Delete Contact.

What does the Delete Contact action do in SendGrid?
Deletes one or more SendGrid contacts by ID. Used for GDPR/CCPA right-to-delete requests or for unsubscribe cleanup.
What inputs does Delete Contact require?
Required: Contact IDs (comma-separated). 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 SendGrid returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Delete Contact support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete Contact inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles SendGrid's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
