ProspectProInstall

Overview

The "Delete Contact" operation in the ProspectPro node allows users to remove a specific contact associated with a prospect from the ProspectPro system. This action is irreversible and permanently deletes the contact data.

This operation is useful in scenarios where contacts are no longer relevant, need to be cleaned up for data accuracy, or when managing contact lists dynamically based on changing business needs.

Example use case:
A marketing automation workflow that removes outdated or unsubscribed contacts from a prospect's contact list to maintain compliance and data hygiene.

Properties

Output

The output of this operation typically contains a JSON object confirming the deletion status of the contact. It may include fields such as success indicators or metadata about the deleted contact. No binary data is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the ProspectPro API.
• An API authentication token (API key credential) must be configured in n8n to authorize requests.
• The base URL used for API calls is https://api.prospectpro.nl/v1.2.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Providing incorrect or non-existent Prospect ID or Contact ID will result in errors indicating that the resource was not found.
  • Attempting to delete a contact without proper authorization will cause authentication errors.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

• Error messages and resolutions:

  • "Contact not found" — Verify that both Prospect ID and Contact ID are correct and exist in the ProspectPro system.
  • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed" — Check that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • "Request failed" or timeout errors — Ensure network connectivity and that the ProspectPro API service is operational.
