How do I delete a SendGrid contact list?
Short answer: Drop the "SendGrid → Delete List" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
List ID list_id | string | Required | The List ID assigned by Sendgrid. Find via the corresponding list/search operation in this app. Use the exact ID, not a name or label. |

FAQ
Questions about Delete List.
What does the Delete List action do in SendGrid?
Deletes a SendGrid contact list (the contacts themselves are not deleted, just removed from the list). Use to retire one-off campaign audiences.
What inputs does Delete List require?
Required: List 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 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 List support batch operations?
Yes. Run Delete List inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles SendGrid's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
