When an Item is deleted trigger - Saving a copy of the item to another list?

Posted on by Rob_CTL

Hi,

This might be an odd ball question, I need to have a full audit trail of items within a list particularly item deletes. What I'd like to do is when a user deletes an item a copy of that item is stored in another "secure" list. The flow is triggered by the "When an item is deleted" trigger. The next action is "Get Item" where I am trying to grab the detail of the item and then using "Create Item" creating the deleted item in another list.

The flow stops at the second action with a 404 which I guess kinda makes sense as the item is deleted....

Any thoughts/help gratefully received.

Rob

Hi Rob,

Flow triggers after the item is deleted. It only give the below information.

{

"ID": 2,

"Name": "Title2",

"FileNameWithExtension": "Title2",

"DeletedByUserName": "Mark",

"TimeDeleted": "2019-12-12T23:04:15Z",

"IsFolder": false

}

So in your case Get Item cannot find the details because the item is already deleted hence you getting 404 item not found.

Another work around I can think is add a flag called Delete Y/N. Trigger against this field update. Move the item details across another list then delete the item via flow action. Also you need to set some securities around where users can't delete the list items.

Thanks

Hi @Rob_CTL ,

As @abm said, you couldn't get the content of the item when the item is deleted.

Best regards,

Alice
