Delete Selected Records

The Delete Selected Records interaction deletes the records the user has selected in the data table.

Asking for Confirmation

Because deleting records is a permanent change, you may want to ask the user to confirm before the deletion runs. To do so, nest the Delete Selected Records interaction inside an Open Confirm interaction: the confirmation dialog is displayed first, and the deletion only runs when the user clicks "OK". The nested variant offers the same On Success and On Error settings. Outside of an Open Confirm interaction, use the standard Delete Selected Records interaction directly.

Example

Imagine a Data Table listing open tasks with selection enabled. A header action lets the user select several tasks and delete them in one click. On success, a Refresh All Queries interaction removes the deleted rows from the table immediately, and a Show Toast interaction confirms the deletion. On error, a Show Toast interaction with the Error variant surfaces the Salesforce error message.
