Bulk Delete Records

with Salesforce

Bulk delete records from a Salesforce object via the Bulk API 2.0 ingest lifecycle.

  1. Create a new Bulk API 2.0 ingest job configured for the delete operation against the target object. The job starts in the Open state.
  2. Upload the CSV of record Ids to the open ingest job. The header row must contain the single Id column.
  3. Close the ingest job by setting its state to UploadComplete, which tells Salesforce to begin processing the deletions.
  4. Poll the ingest job state. When the job reaches JobComplete, continue to retrieve results; while still InProgress or UploadComplete, loop back to poll again; if the job Failed or Aborted, stop the workflow.
  5. Retrieve the CSV of successfully deleted records once the job has reached JobComplete.
What you'll need to have ready
  • object: The API name of the SObject to delete records from (e.g. Account).
  • csvData: CSV payload whose header is a single Id column followed by one record Id per row to soft-delete.
  • lineEnding: Line ending used in the CSV data (LF or CRLF). Defaults to LF.
