Merge offers an extra feature that can be added to our annual Core, Professional, or Enterprise plans that will automatically detect records deleted in third-party systems within the Merge response. The process of detecting the deleted records will run on a periodic basis of every three days.

This can be done by using the include_deleted_data query parameter, where false is the default method that does not include deleted data. In order to view deleted records in the Merge response, include_deleted_data needs to be set to true.

This feature is only available on our Professional and Enterprise plans!

Webhooks can be configured for sending instances of deleted data for a chosen data type. This webhook will be fired when a record is detected as deleted upon a resync of the Linked Account within Merge. This will only work if "detecting deleted data" is enabled for a specific organization or Linked Account, or if you have set up third-party receiving webhooks.
