Delete Items Action

The delete action should be used sparingly as this could cause unexpected results for the user. This action may be useful in situations where there is cleanup work that should happen when related records are updated or deleted. For example you may want related associated items in an associated items document library or list to be deleted when the parent list record is deleted.

Instructions

• Create an action using the delete action type.
• Choose a condition to trigger delete.
• Use this type of action sparingly!

Summary

Delete functionality should be used with caution. Making a mistake in the logic could trigger unintended deleted. That being said, this is an appropriate function to use for cleanup to remove records that are no longer relevant.
