Delete Tag for Joomla

Deletes a Joomla tag from com_tags when the flow runs. Use when retiring taxonomy labels or cleaning up after bulk imports or sync jobs.

Overview

Deletes a Joomla tag from com_tags when the flow runs. Use when retiring taxonomy labels or cleaning up after bulk imports or sync jobs.

When the flow reaches this step, JOrchestrator executes Delete Tag 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.

Why use this node

Delete Tag is a action step in the Tags 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 Tag to a flow:

Remove obsolete taxonomy labels after a catalog sync
Clean up tags created by import flows that are no longer used
Retire marketing campaign tags when a promotion ends

Example workflows

Common patterns on the canvas:

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

How to set it up

Pick the tag from the searchable list on the Design tab — not a raw id text field.

Good to know

Article-tag associations may remain until separately cleaned in Joomla.

Properties panel

The designer shows these tabs for this node:

Tab	Purpose
Info	Plain-language description and output payload fields for downstream steps
General	Canvas label and read-only node ID
AI	Optional assistant to help draft settings from plain language
Design	Node-specific configuration fields

System (automatic — not edited by the user)

These fields are managed by the designer or runtime — you do not type into them directly:

Property key	Label	Type	Required	Visible when	Notes
`_nodeId`	Node ID	`node-id`	No	—	—
`_payloadFields`	Available Fields	`payload-panel`	No	—	—

User-configured — General tab

Property key	Label	Type	Required	Visible when	Notes
`label`	Label	`text`	No	—	Node label

User-configured — Design tab

Property key	Label	Type	Required	Visible when	Notes
`confirm`	Confirm Deletion	`checkbox`	No	—	—

CMS-backed (options from the linked site)

Property key	Label	Type	Required	Visible when	Notes
`id`	Tag to delete	`tag-select`	Yes	—	Select tag

CMS site configuration (not on this node's properties panel)

Credentials, API keys, mailers, SMTP, and integration defaults are configured in the CMS plugin under Node Configuration, not per step on this node. Link the flow to a domain before testing CMS-backed fields.

Output payload fields

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

Field key	Type	Description
`id`	string	Primary record identifier.
`deleted`	boolean	Whether the record was deleted.
