Overview
This node integrates with the sevDesk API to manage various resources, including Accounting Contacts. Specifically, the "Delete" operation for the AccountingContact resource allows users to remove an existing accounting contact from their sevDesk account. This can be useful for cleaning up outdated or incorrect contact records.
A practical example is when a user wants to delete an accounting contact that is no longer relevant or was created by mistake. However, caution is advised because deleting an Accounting Contact may cause booking errors, especially in DATEV exports, and sevDesk's compatibility with DATEV is not guaranteed after such deletions.
Properties

Troubleshooting

Error Messages:
- "Not Found" or similar indicates the provided Accounting Contact ID does not exist.
