Azure DevOps ACTION

Delete Work Item

Move a work item to the project's recycle bin, or permanently destroy it when Destroy is set. Returns the deleted item's id and code. Use this to clean up items created in error - prefer the recycle bin, which is recoverable. Example: work item 299. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Azure DevOps account once, then configure and run Delete Work Item from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "azure_devops-delete-work-item",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    azure_devops: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    organization: "Organization",
    project: "Project",
  },
})

console.log(result)
