Difference bw after delete and before delete business rule

[Demo24]

Hi,

I would like to know how the after and before delete BR differs from each other and when are these two preferred over each other usually?

we have a use case where we need to get info message when a related record is deleted from a record (say they are related by a reference field). so which BR is preferred for adding an info message ? before delete or after delete and why?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Demo24 , 

BR are scripts that run when certain server-side conditions are met, it's up to business case that when we want to execute the BR code, before the triggered event or after. Here, you need info message only when record is deleted so you have to choose after under "when to run".
