Delete records in objects

Using the Salesforce provider's Delete method, you can delete records in a Salesforce object. This is helpful when a data cleanup is needed due to outdated, incorrect, or irrelevant data. It is essential to exercise caution when deleting records, as the action is irreversible. In Jigx Builder use an action.confirm with a modal to provide a message before deleting the record permanently. Ensure you have sufficient rights in Salesforce to delete a record in an object.

Examples and code snippets

Examples are based on test data in a Jigx demo Salesforce environment. Copying the sample code must be adjusted to represent your own Salesforce environment.
