Delete a contact
Deletes one contact and answers 204 with no body. The contact's link to its supplier goes with it; the supplier does not.
Mail already held against this address is swept in the same call, because an inbox thread with no contact behind it is a thread nothing can route.
contact_id is a whole number, and an id no contact has is refused 404. There is no undo: use update_contact where the person has only changed role.
Scope: suppliers:write, which includes suppliers:read.
Request
- Base URL: https://api.app.tightly.io
- URL: https://api.app.tightly.io/api/v1/contacts/{contact_id}
- Auth: HTTP bearer
Path parameters
The contact's id, a whole number, as list_contacts serves it.
Headers
The date train to answer on. One train exists today, 2026-11, the one this reference describes and the one every key is minted on, so the call answers on it with or without this header. Send it anyway, so a client built now names its train from the start.
A string of your own, up to 255 characters, that makes this write safe to retry. Send the same key twice and the second request is answered with the first one's status and body instead of writing again, so a client that retried after a timeout ends holding the record's id rather than creating a second one. Reusing a key with a different body, or while the first request is still running, is refused 409. A write that failed releases its key. Keys answer for 24 hours and belong to the API key that used them. A key longer than 255 characters is ignored and the write goes ahead without the guarantee.
Response
The contact is gone. No body.
