When an item is deleted in SharePoint, trigger error

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all,

 

I am aware this has been discussed before (on this thread) but I was wondering whether there is a work around for it. I work in a large company and have created a complex flow which passes information from MS Forms into a master list and 10 different 'child' lists. When an item in the master list gets modified, these changes are also passed onto the child lists using flow.

 

However, I am not able to delete items from the child lists using the delete item trigger in flow, which seems strange because I have permissions to delete the items directly in SharePoint. I get the same error (

"status"403,
"message""Only Site Collection Admins are allowed to use this trigger....") as the above post.
 
Is there anyway I can automate the deleting of items from the child lists when the item is deleted in the parent list, without using the 'When an item is deleted' trigger?

    Hi Anna,

     

    Thanks for replying. I don't have any lookup columns in my sharepoint lists, no. We have looked to see if a service account would be possible but it isn't an option currently.

     

    Thanks,

    @Anonymous  One more solution you can do is create a service account, make that service account site collection admin and use that account in the connection of the trigger.

    @Anonymous  do you have any lookup type of column that links the parent/child list?
