Delete a lead from GoHighLevel and Instantly when they ask to be forgotten

When a reply is labeled Delete my data, Master Inbox deletes the contact in GoHighLevel and the lead in Instantly and alerts RevOps, so data deletion requests are handled the same day.

Or ask Claude, ChatGPT or Grok to build it

Our workflow guide is written for AI agents to read. Give your assistant your API key and this prompt:

Read https://app.masterinbox.com/public-workflow-api.md and use my Master Inbox API key to create this workflow: "Delete a lead from GoHighLevel and Instantly when they ask to be forgotten". First call GET /workflows/filter-fields and look up my label, list and channel ids, then create the workflow and tell me what you set up.

Questions

Which Instantly connection does this need?

Deleting a lead needs the Instantly OAuth connection.

Is the Master Inbox thread deleted too?

No. Delete it in Master Inbox, or with the delete messages API endpoint, once the request is confirmed.

Can I build this workflow through the API?

Yes. Send the create-workflow request shown on this page with your Master Inbox API key. The API checks the payload first and lists every problem by field if anything is off.

Which plan includes this?

This workflow works on the Revenue plan. Every plan has unlimited users and starts with a free 7-day POC.
