Delete Form

Delete a form or several forms. Be careful when using this — a deleted form cannot be recovered!

Inputs

Note that while each individual input below is optional, at least one is required. You must have either formId or formId# as an input. You can have both, but you cannot have neither.

InputValue
formIdOptionalIf you want to delete a single form, use this input. It is the unique 32-digit hexadecimal identifier of the form that you want to delete. See here for more details.
formId#OptionalIf you want to delete more than one form, use these inputs. They should be numbered starting with 1, i.e. formId1, formId2, formId3, etc. Each one should contain the unique 32-digit hexadecimal identifier of the form that you want to delete. See here for more details.

Outputs

None

Usage

There are a number of workflows where deleting a form may come in useful. For instance, you may want to maintain a one-to-one relationship between Salesforce Work Order objects and its related forms in GoFormz, driven by Salesforce. To do so, you would use a pair of workflows:

  1. Create new GoFormz forms whenever a new Salesforce Work Order object is created, and store the new forms' IDs to the Salesforce object.
  2. Whenever a Salesforce Work Order is deleted, also delete its corresponding GoFormz forms.

The second workflow will use a Salesforce Webhook trigger activated by a Work Order object's deletion, followed by a Salesforce Lookup action to get the associated forms' IDs, and finally the Delete Form action to delete the forms. The Delete Form step of this workflow is shown below:

In this example, we delete three forms — a Work Order form, an Inspection Checklist form, and a Purchase Order form. The form IDs necessary for deletion are derived from the Lookup step.
