Anaplan

Anaplan API actions: Export, Import, Lists, Files, Module updates, Single Cell, etc.

Overview

This node interacts with the Anaplan API to perform various operations related to Anaplan workspaces, models, and lists. Specifically, the 'Delete List Items' operation allows users to delete items from a specified Anaplan list within a selected workspace and model. This is useful for managing and cleaning up list data in Anaplan models programmatically, such as removing outdated or incorrect list entries.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting obsolete entries from a customer list in an Anaplan model.
  2. Removing test data from a list before a production run.
