DeleteContact - AWS Systems Manager Incident Manager

DeleteContact

To remove a contact from Incident Manager, you can delete the contact. However, deleting a contact does not remove it from escalation plans and related response plans. Deleting an escalation plan also does not remove it from all related response plans. To modify an escalation plan, we recommend using the UpdateContact action to specify a different existing contact.
