Delete All Swift Users From Group

Overview

Purpose

This is a utility workflow used to bulk-delete all contacts from a specified Swift Digital contact group. It is not scheduled and must be manually executed. Before running, the target group ID must be set in the n8n Global Constants node.

Warning: This workflow calls the Swift Digital contact DELETE API, which permanently removes the contacts from Swift Digital entirely — it does not merely remove them from the group. Use with care.

How It Works

1. Manual trigger — workflow is started manually from within n8n.
2. Global Constants — reads the target group ID(s) from the n8n Global Constants node. The constants field is expected to contain one or more group IDs.
3. Split Out group IDs — if multiple group IDs are present in constants, they are split into individual items for iteration.
4. Get Users in Group — calls GET https://v3.api.swiftdigital.com.au/request/mailhouse/mailgroup/readmembers with the group ID to retrieve all contact IDs in the group.
5. Split Out contact IDs — splits the returned array of contact IDs into individual items.
6. Remove Users from Swift — calls DELETE https://v3.api.swiftdigital.com.au/request/mailhouse/contact/delete for each contact ID, permanently deleting them from Swift Digital.

Usage Instructions

1. Open the workflow in n8n: https://n8n.pbr.org.au/workflow/l0KQdZd8IGiJNuLa
2. Open the Global Constants node and set the constants value to the Swift Digital group ID(s) you want to clear.
3. Save the workflow.
4. Click Execute Workflow.
5. Monitor the execution to confirm all contacts were removed.

Do not activate (publish) this workflow. It should always remain inactive and only be run on demand.

Maintenance Notes

• This workflow must remain inactive at all times. Do not publish it.
• The target group ID must be manually set in Global Constants before each run — it is not persisted between executions.
• This workflow deletes contacts from Swift Digital entirely, not just from a group. Ensure this is the intended behaviour before running. If you only need to remove contacts from a group without deleting them, the Swift Digital API endpoint /request/mailhouse/mailgroup/removemembers should be used instead — this would require a workflow modification.
• The BetterImpact > Swift User Ingest workflow will re-create contacts on its next run if the deleted users still exist as active members in BetterImpact. This workflow is therefore typically used to reset a group before a clean resync.
