"Rows deleted" no longer a trigger option. How can I track deletions?

WRSmith · 01/09/20

When setting up a workflow to alert someone, I no longer see the trigger option of "when rows are deleted". How can I receive notification of this action?

Hi,

This function was moved. You can go into Manage Workflows, scroll down to select Basic Workflows, scroll down again and select Alert someone when a row is deleted. I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Tina

Hi,

To alert someone when a row is deleted, you'll want to go to:

Automation
Manage workflows
Select a workflow
Basic workflows (at the bottom of the drop down menu)

I hope this helps!

@Alejandra Do you know when this changed?

Alejandra · 01/10/20

@Paul Newcome I believe this changed around May 2019 when Automated Workflows were released: https://www.smartsheet.com/content-center/product-news/release-notes/release-notes

@Alejandra Wow. Ok. Thanks! I must use it less than I realized. Haha.

I cannot find this Basic Workflow. Has this changed? If so, what are the steps to set up notification on row deletion?

I hope you're well and safe!

Here's where you can find the Workflow.

I'm trying to work out how to see what row data has been deleted within the above workflow.

On the Row Deletion Workflow, it states that if we want to include sheet contents to wrap it in brackets but when I attempt this, the deleted information does not show in the Row Deletion Workflow email that is received.

Is there anyway to be shown what row has been deleted within the notification email?

Many thanks,

Eimear
