Access record after @delete event

[yuri]

You should be able to access attributes of a deleted record with entity\attribute('attributeName'); But I'm not sure.

I'd recommend using a workflow rule for such simple tasks.

I've slimmed it down to a very basic workflow, that catches a @delete event, and calls a BPM process that creates a notification.



The Travel event that I'm removing has this id: 64a24fea1f9d88514

I am seeing the flow trigger:

The notification is sent fine if I create the notification directly in the workflow, instead of the BPM process that is called by the workflow.

This sounds like a bug?

I'm on Espo 7.5.5
PHP 8.2.4 (cli)

can you share your code and flowchart ? is the target entity for the flowchart is the same entity type that gets deleted ?

Hi Rabbi,

Thanks for your response. I've tried the 'deleted' true filter on a record that was deleted, but it returns a null still.

You code also suggest that the $id returned by record\findOne is different from id. But shouldn't they not be the same?

I have a workflow that catches the @delete event. I want to be able to take an action following this event, for which I need some attributes from the deleted record. However, the record is not available anymore, and I'm getting thrown null errors in the logfile.

Is there a way to access attributes from deleted records?

you can try something like below (just as example) apply your own entity instead of opportunity:

$id = record\findOne('Opportunity', 'createdAt', 'desc', 'id=', id, 'deleted', true);

$name = record\attribute('Opportunity', $id, 'name'); 

You can still access the deleted record using (deleted = true).

hope this helps
