How do I delete a SendGrid contact list?
Short answer: You can delete list in SendGrid by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the SendGrid Delete List action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
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. |
Sample request
{"list_id": "{{trigger.list_id}}"}
Returns
{"success": true}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.
Triggered by

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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message SendGrid 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 List support batch operations?
Run Delete List 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 SendGrid's rate limits.
