deleteContactNote
PERMANENTLY delete a note.
PERMANENTLY delete a note (by noteId): it leaves the contact's timeline with NO undo, so ALWAYS show its text and get their yes; a card counts. When only the wording is wrong use editContactNote, which is reversible. noteIds come from getContact (notes[]) or a NOTE entry in listContactActivities. One note per call; no bulk delete. Returns the owning contact with its REMAINING notes (the deleted one gone), so confirm the removal and show what is left rather than assert it worked. You can only delete a note you authored (or any note, if the key owner is a team admin); a note whose author.kind is AI is someone else's, so a NON-ADMIN key is refused on one.

The example sends only what the schema requires. Some operations also need one of several optional variables (one filter or another, say); the description above says which.
Response
What comes back under data: a list shows as one entry, and a value as its type.
{
"data": {

}Errors
unknown_variableA variable the operation does not declare. A typo is refused rather than silently dropped.
unauthorizedNo bearer header, or the key is invalid or revoked.
insufficient_scopeThe key lacks the scope the operation requires.
forbiddenA referenced record does not exist, was deleted, or is outside your organization. The gateway cannot tell those apart.
idempotency_conflictA request with this Idempotency-Key is still in flight.
Idempotency
Send an Idempotency-Key of 1 to 255 characters. A finished request retried with the same key replays its stored response, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true; one still in flight returns 409 idempotency_conflict. Keys expire after 24 hours. Write without fear →
