HI @kuovonne It doesn’t work on my end.

I tried this script

let table = base.getTable(“BILLING”);
let inputConfig = input.config();
let recordId = inputConfig[‘recordId’]
await table.deleteRecordAsync(recordId);
But it has an error with this

ERROR
TypeError: Invalid arguments passed to table.deleteRecordAsync(recordOrRecordId):
• recordOrRecordId →
recordOrRecordId should be a Record, not undefined
or recordOrRecordId should be a string, not undefined

at main on line 4

hope you can help me with this.

I want all statuses with “DELETE” will be deleted on the BILLING table.

Have you set up recordId as the input variable for the script?

Hi, thank you for your response. How will I do that?

What I did is like this.

The status of delete needs to go in the automation trigger, not the input variable for the script.

You need to create an input variable named recordId and select the value of the record id of the triggering record. (Use the blue plus sign to select the value.)

I think I’ve already done that. Can you please check if this correct?
