I am trying to delete this event using my workflow and I have all appropriate details in the delete node, however when I run the workflow it does not delete. The result payload says:

I have no idea why the delete node can not find this warning event. Any advice?

Looking at your screenshots, I’m guessing it’s because `id === "{{device.id}}"` isn’t returning any events in your query. `id` refers to the **event ID** ; if you’re trying to query an event by its associated device, that query line should be `deviceId === "{{device.id}}"`.
