FAQ

Questions about Delete Salesforce Record.

What does the Delete Salesforce Record action do in Salesforce?

Generic delete for any SObject. Irreversible at the API level (though Salesforce keeps in Recycle Bin for 15 days). For GDPR compliance or cleanup workflows.

What inputs does Delete Salesforce Record require?

Required: Object Type, Record ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Salesforce returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Salesforce returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Delete Salesforce Record support batch operations?

Run Delete Salesforce Record inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Salesforce's rate limits.
