Overview
This node interacts with the "Table" resource of the Tulip API, specifically to delete a record from a specified table. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove data entries from a Tulip table, such as cleaning up outdated records, removing erroneous data, or managing data lifecycle within an automation workflow.
For example, if you have a workflow that processes incoming data and determines certain records should no longer exist, this node can be used to delete those records automatically based on their IDs.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Table Name or ID | Select the target table from which to delete a record. You can choose from a list of tables or specify an ID via expression. |
| Record Name or ID | Select the specific record to delete from the chosen table. Options are dynamically loaded based on the selected table. You can also specify the record ID using an expression. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will include confirmation of deletion or any relevant metadata returned by the Tulip API about the deleted record.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Tulip API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials for Tulip.
- The node depends on dynamic loading methods to fetch available tables and record IDs (
getTablesandgetRecordsIDs), which require proper API access permissions.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing table or record ID: Ensure that the IDs provided exist and are accessible with your API credentials.
- Permission errors: Verify that the API key has sufficient rights to delete records.
- Network or connectivity issues: Confirm that the Tulip API endpoint is reachable from your n8n instance.
Error Messages:
- "Record not found": The specified record ID does not exist in the selected table. Double-check the record ID.
- "Unauthorized" or "Forbidden": The API key lacks permission to delete records. Update credentials or permissions accordingly.
- "Invalid Table ID": The table ID is incorrect or inaccessible. Validate the table selection.
Resolving these typically involves verifying input values, checking API credentials, and ensuring network connectivity.
