Removing an instance

Introduction

If an instance is no longer required, you can remove it from your manage connectors page.

Need to know

An instance cannot be removed if it's currently configured in any process flows (irrespective of whether those process flows are deployed/enabled).

Log in to the Patchworks dashboard and select process flows ➤ connectors & instances to access the manage connectors page.

2

Locate the required connector and click the settings (i.e. cog) button. For example:

3

For more information on these options, please refer to Adding an instance.

4

Confirm the delete operation

When prompted, confirm that you want to proceed. For example:

If this instance is found to be configured in any process flows, you'll be prompted to update these before trying again. Otherwise, the instance is removed immediately.
