Airtable Delete Data Flow Template

DELETEairdata.png

Overview

This Data Flow template is made up of two Data Operations that allow app builders to delete a record in Airtable.This is achieved by connecting with the Airtable integration, passing data to this Data Flow and then deleting the record with such data.

In Connection Builder, Data Flow templates can be found with pre-populated sample data. However, to meet the requirements of their Journey, app builders should perform the necessary adjustments, such as adding other Data Ops.

Bear in mind that in order to use the Airtable API as a datasource, credentials must be set in Configuration Builder > Integrations to connect the corresponding account.
