Configuration
2 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
doctype The DocType to act on, spelled as ERPNext spells it (e.g. 'Sales Order'). Overrides the default DocType on the connection. | string | No | — | — | Customer |
name The document's name — its primary key in ERPNext (e.g. 'ACC-SINV-2025-00001'). | string | Yes | — | — | CUST-0001 |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"doctype": "Customer",
"name": "CUST-0001"
}Output
One shape.

deleted True once ERPNext accepted the deletion. | boolean | — |

}See Delete Document run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the ERPNext connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
