Delete list of data records

Function: Delete list of data records​

This action allows you to remove multiple data records from your application's database in one go. Instead of deleting items one by one, you can provide a collection of records, and the platform will delete all of them efficiently. This is useful for bulk cleanup, archiving, or managing large datasets.

Input​

  • List of data to delete: This is a collection (or list) of specific data records that you want to remove from your application. Each item in this list should represent a complete data record (like a customer profile, an order, or a product entry). This input is required.

Output​

This action does not produce any direct output that can be used in subsequent steps. Its primary effect is the permanent deletion of the specified data records from your application.

Execution Flow​
