Delete Entry

Delete Entry removes one record from a Datastore by its identifier.

Note

Configure this action in the Builder. See Builder Navigation and Workspace Basics for the surrounding UI.

Configuration

Pick the Data Store, then choose the record with the entry picker - labelled with the datastore’s identifier - or bind the id from a process value. The step exposes an Error Message you can read downstream.

Runtime behavior

Delete Entry runs automatically and removes the matching record.

  • It fails if no identifier is supplied, or the datastore doesn’t exist.
  • Deletion is permanent - there is no undo from the process.
Warning

Make sure you’re deleting the right record. Where it matters, Get Entry first to confirm the entry, or branch on a condition before deleting.

Best practices

  • Removing several records? Use Delete Many Entries.
  • Consider a status field (for example Archived) and Update Entry instead of deleting, when you need an audit trail.
