When to use this.

The "Delete Contact (Zoho CRM)" action enables users to efficiently remove an existing contact record from Zoho CRM by utilizing its unique Record ID. This action is categorized under CRM and is essential for maintaining accurate and up-to-date contact information. The primary input parameter, "contact_id," is a string that specifies the unique Zoho Record ID of the contact to be deleted.
