[Feature Request] [NOWEB] Ignore contacts not to be synced

[gamoridev]

Hello!
It's possible to ignore certain contacts, maybe on session creation, not to be synced?

The idea is to given list of contacts, exclude them from the Full Sync process and don't storage any info from these contacts.

Hi! Could you explain your pain points?
like storage is nothing for saving contacts (even if you have 100K, that's fine), so not sure what we'll solve with that approach 🤔
For /contacts/ we're adding limit&offset parameters, so you filter this properly as well #371

don't storage any info from these contacts

Do you mean like ignore incoming messages and etc?

Yes! I don't want to store anything from contacts on this "ignore" list.

I'll probably have many users with huge amount of messages and contacts, .ie:

But not every "chat|contact" needs to be synced. So I was thinking in minimize the cost of storage (currently in MongoDB Atlas).

Right know I'll probably delete data manually and sanitize the database, but it would be nice if I could do something directly on Waha.

oh, do you want to be in free tier there?
Unlikely we'll implement the request at all, but may be we'll add cleanup API in the future, hit +1 there if you need it!

I've never mentioned free tier.
But ok, I'll follow updates from #592 then.
