Overview
This node integrates with the SignifyCRM API to manage CRM data. Specifically, for the Contact resource and the Delete operation, it deletes a contact record by marking it as deleted in the SignifyCRM system.
Typical use cases include:
- Automating cleanup of outdated or incorrect contact records.
- Integrating with other workflows where contacts need to be removed based on external triggers.
- Maintaining data hygiene by programmatically deleting contacts without manual intervention.
Example: Automatically delete a contact when they unsubscribe from a mailing list or when their account is closed.

Output
The output JSON contains the response from the SignifyCRM API after attempting to delete the contact. This typically includes confirmation that the contact was marked as deleted. The structure reflects the API's response to the /set_entry POST request with the deletion flag set.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the SignifyCRM API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials (referred generically as "an API key credential").
- Uses the internal helper function to send authenticated requests to the SignifyCRM API endpoint
/set_entry.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Contact ID: The API will fail if the provided contact ID does not exist or is malformed.
- Authentication errors: If the API key credential is invalid or expired, requests will be rejected.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the SignifyCRM API.
Error messages:
"Contact not found"or similar indicates the Contact ID does not exist."Authentication failed"suggests issues with the API key credential.- Timeout or network errors indicate connectivity issues.
Resolutions:
- Verify the Contact ID is correct and exists in SignifyCRM.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Check network access and firewall settings.
