Bulk Activities

Remove Contacts from Lists

Changed on

Use this method to create an activity that removes contacts from one or more contact lists. Use the properties in the source object to remove specific contacts from your lists. Use the list_ids array to specify the target lists from which contacts are removed. Optionally, if the source is all_active_contacts (billable) or list_ids, use the exclude object to exclude specific contacts from being removed from the destination lists.
