Overview
This node integrates with the ProspectPro API to manage contacts associated with prospects. Specifically, the "Delete" operation under the "Contact" resource allows users to delete a contact by specifying both the prospect ID and the contact ID. This action permanently removes the contact from the system.
Common scenarios for this node include:
- Cleaning up outdated or incorrect contact information linked to a prospect.
- Automating contact lifecycle management by removing contacts that are no longer relevant.
- Maintaining data hygiene in marketing or sales databases integrated with ProspectPro.
Example use case: A marketing automation workflow that deletes contacts who have unsubscribed or are no longer valid leads.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Prospect ID | The unique identifier of the prospect to which the contact belongs. Required for deletion. |
| Contact ID | The unique identifier of the contact to be deleted. This action is irreversible. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the ProspectPro API after attempting to delete the specified contact. Typically, this will confirm whether the deletion was successful or provide error details if it failed.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the ProspectPro API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL used for API calls is
https://api.prospectpro.nl/v1.2.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid IDs: Ensure both Prospect ID and Contact ID are provided and correct; otherwise, the API will reject the request.
- Permission errors: Verify that the API key has sufficient permissions to delete contacts.
- Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to the ProspectPro API endpoint.
- API rate limits: If many deletions are performed rapidly, you might hit rate limits; consider adding delays or batching operations.
- Error messages: The node may return API error responses such as "Contact not found" or "Unauthorized". Check the IDs and API credentials accordingly.
