Forget card

Forget (soft delete) a card from a contact. The card will be marked as deleted but the record will be preserved for audit purposes.

Cards include a deletable attribute that indicates whether the card can be deleted. The frontend should check this attribute before attempting to delete a card. If a card cannot be deleted, set another card as the default using the set-default-card endpoint, which will update the deletable attribute accordingly.

The endpoint returns true when the card is successfully forgotten.

Errors common to all endpoints

              INVALID_ARGUMENTS

This error occurs when the request contains invalid or missing parameters. Common cases include missing required fields, or values that don't match the expected format or type.
