Can I create a flow that is triggered by deleting a record?

I'm thinking of creating a process that is triggered when an attachment is deleted.

I understand that this can be implemented using business rules, but is it possible to use deletion as a trigger in the Flow Designer as well?

Hi @bonsai , 

 

As there is no Delete trigger point in Flow, we cant configure Flow for such case. 

You need to think on some other options like BR.

Answer is no as Flow runs async and doesn't have option as Delete Record as trigger

If you wish to perform some action/logic then please use Before Delete BR on your table

..though nothing stops the BR from calling a flow.
