Overview

This node integrates with the Perfex API to manage contacts, leads, and customers. Specifically for the Contact - Delete operation, it deletes a contact from the Perfex system by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to automate cleanup of outdated or incorrect contact records, maintain data hygiene, or synchronize contact deletions from other systems.

Practical example:
You have an automated workflow that removes contacts who unsubscribe from your mailing list. Using this node's Contact Delete operation, you can automatically delete those contacts from your Perfex CRM to keep your database up-to-date.
