Hello, I currently created a segment called Inactive Users which basically are the ones who aren’t active in the last 30 days and I have around 10K+ users that I want to directly delete permanently from Intercom.
I checked this article https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference/deletecontact but since I am not a technical person, I was wondering if its possible for someone to guide me in the steps needed to get the job done.

Hey
To permanently delete your users, you will need to make use of the API endpoint that you’ve linked (unless you are to delete them one by one via UI, which is time consuming!), so I would recommend reaching out to a developer about using this. You can use our search endpoint to retrieve the users in your segment based off a relevant condition, and for each that’s returned, run a request to the endpoint you’ve linked above, using the Intercom ID of each user that’s returned to make the delete request. You can use the pre-populated code snippets in our documentation to achieve this.
Hello
Just to be on the same page, currently I have 16K contacts where 13K should be deleted since the last seen is greater than 30 days. Yesterday, I filtered down all of the companies by their last seen and it helped me delete couple of companies with its contacts using this API https://developers.intercom.com/intercom-api-reference/reference/deletecompany and reduce the number of contacts to 9K, however, I checked today and the same contacts/companies were reverted back and the count is back to 13K now.
I created a segments from the contacts with the filters that I need, I am just not sure how to proceed - is the delete suppose to be id by id or can I do it one time for all of them? Is there a way that I can get a ready made code snippet?
