After removal, messages from those contacts go through the normal filter pipeline (keyword checks, link blocking, etc.). **Next steps:** - Verify the removal — `GET /v1.0/subscribers/message-filter/allowed-contacts` - Block the contact instead — `POST /v1.0/subscribers/message-filter/blocked-contacts/add` ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /v1.0/subscribers/message-filter/allowed-contacts/remove openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: mPaaS Core APIs version: 1.0.8 description: >- The Telegent mPaaS (Mobile Platform as a Service) API gives you full programmatic control over mobile phone numbers, messaging, voice routing, subscribers, and account management.
