Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Cleaning up outdated or invalid contacts from an email list.
- Automating contact management workflows where contacts need to be removed based on certain triggers or conditions.
- Maintaining compliance with data privacy regulations by removing user data upon request.
Example use case:
- A marketing automation workflow that removes unsubscribed or bounced contacts automatically from the audience to keep the mailing list healthy.
