Hi allIn order to comply with our organisational GDPR policy, we need to delete data after a certain time period. Is there a trigger within the Qualtrics Directory that we can set to delete contacts after a certain time frame?For example 'delete all contacts that were added in 2018'?ThanksTracey

Traceyommk_ ,You can use the API to automate this and you don't need any additional fields. First use Search Directory Contacts to find the contacts created before a specific date, then use Delete Directory Contact to delete them.

Possibly. The first step I suspect would be the need to add embedded data within your contacts that tracks the 'date added'. So adding an embedded data variable such as 'addedDate, 2018'.Then within a contact trigger of a survey (or an XM Directory task if you have XM Directory subscription) you could check for the contacts with embedded data matching your year or timestamp or whatever you want to filter on, then update those contact records through the trigger/task. If you only have the contact trigger route then you would need to setup a scheduled task to create a survey response for the survey containing the contact trigger (a rather convoluted way to reach your goal).
