# On Close contact deleted

> Run when Close deletes a contact.

`close.onContactDeleted` run when Close deletes a contact.

```ts automations/on-close-contact-deleted.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { close } from "automate.ax/close"

export default automation("On Close contact deleted", () => {
  const event = close.onContactDeleted()
  // Remove state tied to the deleted Close contact.
})
```

Optional static `account` selects a named Close binding; the project binding is the default. Automate.ax creates and maintains the Close webhook and verifies each delivery with Close's signing secret.

Returns a `CloseEvent` whose `data` is `null`. Use `objectId` for the deleted contact ID. All semantic events preserve the shared [Close event envelope](/reference/integrations/close/triggers/on-close-event#trigger-data).
