Feature Overview
Delete Profile Node is an action node in Synerise Automation that automates the removal of customer profiles from the database. The node can be triggered by specific events (such as account closure or data removal requests) or run as part of recurring workflows using the Audience node, ensuring complete and reliable profile deletion without manual intervention.
The feature is available as an action node in the Synerise Automation workflow builder.
What Is the Delete Profile Node?
The Delete Profile Node is an Automation action node in Synerise that removes a customer profile from the database when triggered. It can be placed in any workflow — triggered by events (e.g., account closure, GDPR data removal request) or as part of scheduled processes using the Audience node. The node handles complete profile removal automatically, eliminating the need for manual deletion across segments, catalogs, or workflows.
Why the Delete Profile Node Matters
Profile deletion is a critical part of customer data lifecycle management — required for compliance (e.g., GDPR right to erasure), customer requests, and data hygiene. Without automation, manual profile deletion is error-prone, time-consuming, and risks leaving traces of customer data across different parts of the platform.
The Delete Profile Node addresses this by:
- Automating complete profile removal from the database with no manual steps
- Supporting event-triggered deletion (account closure, data removal request) and recurring scheduled processes
- Eliminating the risk of incomplete deletion — the node handles the full removal process
- Enabling compliance workflows (GDPR, data hygiene) within Synerise Automation
Key Capabilities
Automated profile removal
The Delete Profile node removes customer profiles automatically when triggered. No manual steps are required — the node handles complete deletion from the database.
Event-triggered and scheduled deletion
The node can be triggered by specific events (account closure, data removal request) or placed in recurring workflows using the Audience node for scheduled data hygiene processes.
Complete removal
Profile deletion is handled fully by the node — there is no risk of leaving traces behind in segments, catalogs, or other platform components.
How the Delete Profile Node Works
- Create or open a workflow in Synerise Automation.
- Set the trigger — either a specific event (e.g., account closure, data removal request) or a recurring process using the Audience node.
- Add the Delete Profile node as the action step in the workflow.
- Publish and activate the workflow.
- When the trigger fires, the profile is automatically and completely removed from the database.
Example Use Case
A financial services company needs to comply with GDPR data removal requests. When a customer submits a deletion request through the company's portal, the event triggers a Synerise Automation workflow that runs the Delete Profile node. The customer's profile is automatically and completely removed from the database — no manual intervention required. The compliance team monitors the workflow to confirm that all deletion requests are processed.
