IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Moodle account once, then configure and run Delete a Category 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: "moodle-delete-category",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    moodle: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    categoryId: "Category ID",
    newparent: "New Parent Category",
  },
})

console.log(result)
