Custom Object → Delete

Specifically, for the 'Custom Object' resource and 'Delete' operation, it deletes a custom object entry identified by its ID. This is useful for automating the removal of obsolete or unwanted custom objects in Eloqua, helping maintain clean and relevant data. For example, a marketing automation workflow could use this node to delete custom objects that are no longer needed after a campaign ends.
