We have an enquiry form on our website which auto-adds their information (email, number, name) to our CRM. This is essential as it gives us the information to follow up on this lead.

Is there a functionality that allows us to auto-delete these leads after a certain amount of time (e.g 6 months)? This would be a sufficient amount of time to suggest if ‘Lead Status’ hasn’t changed to ‘Client’ then it is highly probable that they no longer should be on our CRM.

@GClarke0 This functionality has just been released in public beta. In your account if you navigate to Product Updates\>Betas\>Workflow action to delete contacts, you can join the beta and enable this functionality to be an action in a workflow.

If it is not visible to you then, make sure you are Super Admin and join this feature from the product update  
section _\> Product Updates\>Betas\>Workflow action to delete contacts_  
I hope it helps!  
Thanks!
