WORKFLOW ACTIONS: Delete Current Row
CHOOSE YOUR ACTION
Once you’ve added a workflow to your dataset—either as a button or an automated form action—it’s time to choose what it should do.
Click the blue (+) plus sign under Actions. Then hover over ACTION and select DELETE CURRENT ROW from the list.
You’ll be prompted to give your action a name, like “Cancel Request” or “Remove Entry,” which makes it easier to organize your workflows—especially when there are multiple actions tied to the same dataset.
Pro Tip: Like all workflow actions, Delete Current Row can be triggered in two smart ways:
- From a Dataset – Add it as a clickable button for manual row deletion.
- From a Form – Automatically delete submissions based on user inputs or backend logic.
Want more automation power? Stack it with other actions like Alert Message, Send Email, or Redirect to Webpage for a fully streamlined user experience.
CONFIGURE ROW DELETION
After naming your action, just confirm which dataset it should apply to.
Delete Current Row In: Mapline will default to the dataset you’re currently working in, so unless you’re building a more advanced multi-dataset workflow, you can leave this as-is. This action will target the row that triggered the workflow—no need to manually define it.
This is perfect for:
- Letting users delete their own submissions via a form
- Manually removing outdated entries at the click of a button
- Cleaning up records based on internal workflow actions
ADD CONDITIONS (OPTIONAL)
Need more control over when a row gets deleted? Add a Logic step to your workflow with conditional rules like:
- Only delete if the status is “Cancelled”
- Only delete if the submission is older than 30 days
- Only delete if the request type matches “Duplicate”
This ensures you’re not accidentally removing important data—Mapline only deletes rows that meet your exact criteria.
