Contact deletion is the process by which all of a contact’s data and activities are deleted from Connectif. It allows you to delete an individual’s contact information or bulk delete all the contacts belonging to a segment.
1. Properties
-
Deleting contacts is an action that cannot be undone.
-
Deleting contacts will also delete the activity associated with these contacts but will not delete their statistics or purchases.
- For contacts to be deleted in bulk, they must belong to a particular segment, either Dynamic, Dynamic Plus or Static.
- Contacts can only be deleted in bulk if the segment to which they belong is not being used in any workflow.
