This endpoint is used to delete a contact group.

The user can delete a specific contact group from the database using the group ID

Warning: Deleting a contact group also permanently deletes every contact in that group. If the group was shared with sub-users, it is removed for them as well.

There is a rate limit of 60 requests per minute per API token. This limit is shared by all API endpoints except those with their own separate limit (/api/v2/sms/send, /api/v3/sms/send, etc.), so requests to other endpoints also count toward it. If you exceed this limit, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests status, along with a message indicating when you can try again.

Query Parameters

The specific contact group ID for update (Thegroup ID will be obtained from the contact-groups API response)
