Delete Article for Joomla

Delete Article is a Step (action) in Articles. Permanently deletes a Joomla article by ID.

When the flow reaches this step, JOrchestrator executes Delete Article against your linked site or an external integration, using the field values you set on General and Design. Downstream steps can read the output payload fields defined for this node.

Delete Article is a action step in the Articles group. Action steps run in the middle or end of a flow. They perform work on your CMS, call external services, or transform data for the next step.

Typical reasons teams add Delete Article to a flow:

• Delete Article on your linked Joomla site when the flow reaches this step
• Delete article based on webhook, schedule, or CMS event data
• Integrate Articles operations with messaging, AI, or database steps in one canvas

Common patterns on the canvas:

1. Trigger or Webhook → upstream steps → Delete Article → Send Email or CMS update
2. Scheduled trigger → Delete Article → Debug (while testing) → production action

Article ID from the picker or {{placeholder}} from upstream.

Deletion is irreversible — consider unpublish or archive flows for softer lifecycle management.

The designer shows these tabs for this node:

After this step runs, later nodes can reference these fields using placeholders such as {{delete_article.id}}.
