Beginner Question: How to Use "Delete Item" Webflow module?

I’m a beginner with Make and this is my first time using it. I need help understanding how the “Delete Item”*module in Webflow works and whether I am using the correct approach to remove an item that has been updated or deleted by the client.

Flow Overview

The goal of my flow is to fetch the list of current job openings from BambooHR and integrate them into the Webflow CMS. If the client adds, updates, or removes one or more job openings in BambooHR, those changes should be reflected in the Webflow CMS.

Here is the structure of my scenario:

:one: BambooHR – Fetch job openings every 15 minutes (for now)
:two: Webflow: List Items – Retrieve all current CMS items
:three: Array Aggregator – Group IDs from Webflow CMS collection
:four: Iterator – Process each Webflow CMS item
:five: Router – Split into different actions:

  • :white_check_mark: If the item exists in BambooHR → Update the item
  • :white_check_mark: If the item does not exist in BambooHR → Delete the item
  • :white_check_mark: If it’s a new itemCreate the item

My Issue with “Delete Item”

I am struggling with the “Delete Item” module in Webflow. Currently, my Webflow List Items module retrieves all CMS entries, but I can only delete one item at a time.

Questions:

:one: How can I delete multiple items that no longer exist in BambooHR?
:two: Is “Delete Item” the correct module for this?
:three: How do I correctly map the Webflow Item ID for deletion?

I would really appreciate any guidance or best practices on this! Thank you.

Welcome to the Make community!

To delete a Webflow item that no longer exists in Bamboo HR, you need to do the opposite of what this scenario does.

Currently, your scenario “loops” through each BHR entry, and checks if it is in the Webflow list.

You need to create another scenario to “loop” through each Webflow entry to see if it does NOT exist in BHR.

Hope this make sense! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

P.S.: Investing some effort into the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make.

Well, I don’t understand what is malfunctioning. I will create another ticket since I have an issue with just creating and updating Webflow items. I took a look at the documentation and watched YouTube videos, but I still don’t see how to create and update Webflow items coming from a Bamboo HR job opening list. :sweat:
