Delete field with timer

Hello everyone
I’m a beginner and I want to learn how to delete an item from the database 1 hour after it was created. Could someone give me a step-by-step guide? I’ve tried a lot, I’ve read the manual but I can’t get it to work.

  1. Create a backend workflow, with a single parameter of the ‘type’ of the thing you want to delete. This workflow should have a single action, which is to delete the Thing passed in as the parameter value.
  2. Wherever it is you create the Thing you want to delete, in that same workflow schedule an API workflow to run 1 hour after the Curren date/time, passing in the newly created thing as the parameter value.

Thats it.

Thank you very much, I’ll write it down here but I won’t use it now because I’m still learning the front end. I think this is for a medium or intermediate level, especially when talking about API, something else I haven’t used yet, but thank you very much.
