Question

Deleting a temporary List

3

I've got a java action that takes a list of members and emails them based on their Email address. If I want to email only 1 member I was advised to create a new list containing just the one member and input that into the java action in my microflow. My problem is that I don't want a bunch of old lists hanging around after this but I can't seem to delete a List in the same microflow after my java action. Does this already get removed after my microflow ends or is there some special method for deleting one?

A list is just a lightweight structure that contains references to one or more objects. So you cannot really delete a list, you can only delete the objects it contains from the database. The list itself (i.e., the lightweight structure) will automatically disappear after your microflow has finished.
