# removeCustomerAccountWorkflow - Medusa Core Workflows Reference

This documentation provides a reference to the `removeCustomerAccountWorkflow`. It belongs to the `@medusajs/medusa/core-flows` package.

This workflow deletes a customer and remove its association to its auth identity. It's used by the
[Delete Customer Admin API Route](https://docs.medusajs.com/api/admin#customers_deletecustomersid).

You can use this workflow within your customizations or your own custom workflows, allowing you to
delete customer accounts within your custom flows.

:::note

This workflow uses the [deleteCustomersWorkflow](https://docs.medusajs.com/references/medusa-workflows/deleteCustomersWorkflow) which has a hook that allows you to perform
custom actions after the customers are deleted.

[Source code](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/blob/b41f6828baae00ff6728c7539b1184015ca4dff2/packages/core/core-flows/src/customer/workflows/remove-customer-account.ts#L43)

## Examples

### API Route

```ts title="src/api/workflow/route.ts"
import type {
  MedusaRequest,
  MedusaResponse,
} from "@medusajs/framework/http"
import { removeCustomerAccountWorkflow } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"

export async function POST(
  req: MedusaRequest,
  res: MedusaResponse
) {
  const { result } = await removeCustomerAccountWorkflow(req.scope)
    .run({
      input: {
        customerId: "cus_123"
      }
    })

  res.send(result)
}
```

### Subscriber

```ts title="src/subscribers/order-placed.ts"
import {
  type SubscriberConfig,
  type SubscriberArgs,
} from "@medusajs/framework"
import { removeCustomerAccountWorkflow } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"

export default async function handleOrderPlaced({
  event: { data },
  container,
}: SubscriberArgs < { id: string } > ) {
  const { result } = await removeCustomerAccountWorkflow(container)
    .run({
      input: {
        customerId: "cus_123"
      }
    })

  console.log(result)
}

export const config: SubscriberConfig = {
  event: "order.placed",
}
```

### Scheduled Job

```ts title="src/jobs/message-daily.ts"
import { MedusaContainer } from "@medusajs/framework/types"
import { removeCustomerAccountWorkflow } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"

export default async function myCustomJob(
  container: MedusaContainer
) {
  const { result } = await removeCustomerAccountWorkflow(container)
    .run({
      input: {
        customerId: "cus_123"
      }
    })

  console.log(result)
}

export const config = {
  name: "run-once-a-day",
  schedule: "0 0 * * *",
}
```

### Another Workflow

```ts title="src/workflows/my-workflow.ts"
import { createWorkflow } from "@medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk"
import { removeCustomerAccountWorkflow } from "@medusajs/medusa/core-flows"

const myWorkflow = createWorkflow(
  "my-workflow",
  () => {
    const result = removeCustomerAccountWorkflow
      .runAsStep({
        input: {
          customerId: "cus_123"
        }
      })
  }
)
```

## Steps

- [useRemoteQueryStep](../../../../Common/Steps_Common/functions/core_flows.Common.Steps_Common.useRemoteQueryStep/page.mdx): This step fetches data across modules using the remote query.

  Learn more in the \[Remote Query documentation]\(https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/fundamentals/module-links/query).

  :::note

  This step is deprecated. Use \[useQueryGraphStep]\(../../../../Common/Steps\_Common/functions/core\_flows.Common.Steps\_Common.useQueryGraphStep/page.mdx) instead.

  :::
- [deleteCustomersWorkflow](../core_flows.Customer.Workflows_Customer.deleteCustomersWorkflow/page.mdx): Delete one or more customers.

## Input

- RemoveCustomerAccountWorkflowInput: (\[RemoveCustomerAccountWorkflowInput]\(../../../../core\_core\_flows\_src/types/core\_flows.core\_core\_flows\_src.RemoveCustomerAccountWorkflowInput/page.mdx))

  - RemoveCustomerAccountWorkflowInput: (\`object\`)

## Output

- string: (\`string\`)

  - string: (\`string\`)

## Emitted Events

This section lists the events that are either triggered by the `emitEventStep` in the workflow, or by another workflow executed within this workflow.

:::note

The `emitEventStep` only emits the event after the workflow has finished successfully. So, even if it's executed in the middle of the workflow, it won't actually emit the event until the workflow has completed successfully. If the workflow fails, it won't emit the event at all.

:::

You can listen to these events in a subscriber, as explained in the [Subscribers](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/fundamentals/events-and-subscribers) documentation.

|Event|Description|Payload|Action|
|---|---|---|---|
|\`customer.deleted\`|Emitted when a customer is deleted.|\`\`\`ts
\{
&#x20; id, // The ID of the customer
}
\`\`\`||
