Delete CRM Entity Item step

Use the Delete CRM Entity Item step to delete an entity item. Before adding the Delete CRM Entity Item step to a workflow, you first need to create a reference to the item that you want to delete. Use the Create CRM Entity Item step or the Get CRM Entity Item Reference step to create a reference. For example, a Client entity item is deleted after the deactivation of the client is approved.
