Use the HttpDeleteRequest Activity
Note: Use caution when building or editing a workflow. For further advice or to arrange training, contact your professional services consultant.
The HttpDeleteRequest activity can be used to make a DELETE REST call to an authenticated Application Programming Interface (API) (for example: People - Create Person ebs service).
The HttpDeleteRequest activity is located in the REST section of the Tribal Toolbox.
Note: The minimum requirement for the HttpDeleteRequest activity is URL.
This activity contains the following relevant properties.
| Section | This field | Holds this information... |
