Look up and delete multiple existing records as a single operation. This Workflow Studio step removes the need to first look up a list of records and then delete each record in the list.

## Roles and availability {#delete-multiple-records-action-designer__section_ok1_4f3_pkb}

Available as an Workflow Studio action step. Users with the action_designer role can create a custom action with one or more action steps.
