API Overview

Lists are static collections of Marketing Campaigns contacts. This API allows you to interact with the list objects themselves. To add contacts to a list, you must use the Contacts API.

You can also manage your lists using the Contacts menu in the Marketing Campaigns UI(link takes you to an external page). For more information about lists and best practices for building them, see "Building your Contact List".


DELETE/v3/marketing/lists/{id}

Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com (The Twilio SendGrid v3 API)

This endpoint allows you to deletes a specific list.

Optionally, you can also delete contacts associated to the list. The query parameter, delete_contacts=true, will delete the list and start an asynchronous job to delete associated contacts.
