# move_contacts_between_groups

`POST /move_contacts_between_groups`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.podmule.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://app.podmule.com/api/v1/move_contacts_between_groups`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Atomically move a set of contacts from one group to another. For "move from X to Y" workflows: PREFER this over add_contact_to_group + remove_contact_from_group pairs — one capability call expresses the user intent, the saved workflow gets a single composite step instead of 2N primitives, and the agent can't accidentally do half the operation. Idempotent: already_in_target and not_in_source counters are returned for resumed runs. For "copy without removing", use add_contact_to_group on its own; for "remove without moving", use remove_contact_from_group.
