Action is: Delete contact in Google Contact.

Here are the only 3 fields that I filled in Action:

Please clarify...one screenshot shows GContacts as Step 2, but the other screenshots shows GContacts as Step 1.

We would need to see screenshots with how the Google Contacts zap step is configured that is encountering an error.

Try creating a Custom Action to delete the Contact from GContacts.
