Delete All Emails in a Highrise App

Question

How do I delete all the emails in my highrise app? I don't want to delete the entire thing and start over, I've got companies and tags and metadata. What's the easiest way?

Answer 1

It looks like this is available through the API, and should be easy with the ruby bindings:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
ENV['SITE'] = "http://passkey:X@my.hirisehq.com"
require 'highrise'
Highrise::Person.each do |person|
  person.emails.each {|email|
    email.destroy
  }
end
