How to delete Confiforms entries with an action button?

[Grady Landers]

I want to restrict users to one entry at a time but allow them to make a new one after resolving their previous entry with the press of a button. As it stands, the system works where deleting an entry manually triggers actions that back up the data in another form and then the user can create another entry, what does not work is the action button. I am currently trying to use the Confiforms Rest API. Previously I was able to make the button update the same form's entries, I just want it to delete instead but the delete by id and delete by filter api options are not working for me. I have already verified my Page ID and form name were correct in the link.

You can have an action button that updates some hidden field. And to set up an IFTTT rule that will react on the modification of this field and will execute a delete

Same concept as is shown here https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/Send+email+when+action+button+is+clicked

Just an IFTTT (type) executed is different
