For this you would typically use the HTTP Request node to make an authorized API call to Supabase. \n\n## HTTP Request Node\n\nUse this node to send a DELETE request to your Supabase instance.\n\n- Supabase API Endpoint: Use the appropriate URL for your Supabase project. The endpoint will typically look like this: [https://<your-supabase-ref>.supabase.co/rest/v1/<your-vector-table>](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/api). Replace `<your-supabase-ref>` and `<your-vector-table>` with your details.\n### HEADERS:\n- apikey: Your Supabase API key.\n- Authorization: Bearer token with your Supabase JWT.\n- Query Parameters: Use query parameters to specify which record(s) to delete. For example, `?id=eq.<your-record-id>` where `<your-record-id>` is the specific record ID you want to delete \n(You can also reference back to the **Retrieve Rows From Table** Node to get the ID dynamically)\n\nEnsure you have the necessary permissions set up in Supabase to delete records through the API.\n\nPlease refer to the official n8n documentation for more detailed information on using the [HTTP Request Node](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.httprequest/).\n\n_Note:_ Deleting records is a sensitive operation, so make sure that your permissions are correctly configured and that you are targeting the correct records to avoid unwanted data loss."}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "4ffaccdb-9e0f-464d-9284-7771f6599fd8", "name": "Update Documents", "type": "@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.vectorStoreSupabase", "position": [2100, -1000], "parameters": {"id": "1", "mode": "update", "options": {"queryName": "match_documents"}, "tableName": {"__rl": true, "mode": "list", "value": "n8n", "cachedResultName": "n8n"}}, "typeVersion": 1}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"Google Drive": {"main": [[{"node": "Insert Documents", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "OpenAI Chat Model": {"ai_languageModel": [[{"node": "Question and Answer Chain", "type": "ai_languageModel", "index": 0}]]}, "Retrieve by Query": {"ai_vectorStore": [[{"node": "Vector Store Retriever", "type": "ai_vectorStore", "index": 0}]]}, "Default Data Loader": {"ai_document": [[{"node": "Insert Documents", "type": "ai_document", "index": 0}]]}, "Vector Store Retriever": {"ai_retriever": [[{"node": "Question and Answer Chain", "type": "ai_retriever", "index": 0}]]}, "Question and Answer Chain": {"main": [[{"node": "Customize Response", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "When chat message received": {"main": [[{"node": "Question and Answer Chain", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Embeddings OpenAI Insertion": {"ai_embedding": [[{"node": "Insert Documents", "type": "ai_embedding", "index": 0}]]}, "Embeddings OpenAI Retrieval": {"ai_embedding": [[{"node": "Retrieve by Query", "type": "ai_embedding", "index": 0}]]}, "Embeddings OpenAI Upserting": {"ai_embedding": [[{"node": "Update Documents", "type": "ai_embedding", "index": 0}]]}, "Recursive Character Text Splitter1": {"ai_textSplitter": [[{"node": "Default Data Loader", "type": "ai_textSplitter", "index": 0}]]}, "Placeholder (File/Content to Upsert)": {"main": [[{"node": "Update Documents", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
