    Hi,

    there are thousand of external contacts that I must delete, because are not correctly uploaded. Uploading again the same external contacts (same ID) doesn't update them, but duplicate them. So I must delete every external contact before reuploading correctly

    Can somebody provide the correct way of using this endpoint?

    /api/v2/externalcontacts/bulk/contacts/remove

    Don´t know how to fill the input json:

    { "entities": [ {} ] }

    Thanks

    Hi Daniel,

    It appears that entities must contain objects with a single id property which refers to the ID of the contact you wish to delete.

    So, for example:

    {
        "entities": [
            {
                "id": "d2e02af9-6506-4e15-89c6-e1833ef15f5f"
            },
            {
                "id": "346ce213-247d-4fdb-b9ea-5f265748dab9"
            }
        ]
    }

    @Daniel_Ondiviela can you report this bug via a Genesys Cloud Care case? The API has a bug and is not documenting the request contract correctly; reporting through Care will allow this bug to be prioritized and fixed in the documentation and SDKs.
