Overview
The Remove Resource Block action removes a resource block (user event) by its ID. This action deletes a previously created block that prevents a resource from being available during a specific time period.
Configuration
User Event ID (Required)
The ID of the user event (resource block) to remove. Must be a valid user event ID that:
Has
event_idset toblocked_datesBelongs to a user in the same business unit as the workflow
Supports variables from the workflow context.
Example:
{user_event.id}or
123
Output
This action does not return any output context. The resource block is permanently deleted from the system.
Examples
1. Remove Block from Context Variable
User Event ID: {user_event.id}This removes the block referenced by a user event from a previous workflow step.
2. Remove Block by Direct ID
User Event ID: 456
This removes the block with ID 456 (if it belongs to a user in the same business unit).
Validation
The action validates:
User Event ID is required and not empty
User event exists in the system
User event has
event_idset toblocked_datesUser owning the event belongs to the same business unit as the workflow
If any validation fails, an InvalidArgumentException is thrown.
Best Practices
Verify ownership - Ensure the block belongs to a user in your business unit before attempting to remove
Use variables - Reference blocks from previous workflow steps using context variables
Handle errors - Set up error notifications for cases where blocks cannot be found
Check before removing - Consider using the Get Resource Block action first to verify the block exists
Business unit scoping - Remember that blocks are automatically scoped to your workflow's business unit
