Hey there
I have a suggestion: it would be great to have a trigger in the app framework when item is deleted.
In our inventory app, it would help to synchronize our QR codes with items.
Is it something that is on the roadmap?
+1 for me
I did requested this in another thread but canāt seem to find it anymore. Glad to see it re-appearing
Hi @jeromeskiply and @basdebruin,
I would be more than happy to submit your feedback about this built-in trigger capability! I do think that you can create something similar using our āStatus changeā trigger or the āWhen an item is moved to a groupā trigger as well.
Regarding synchronizing your QR codes with your items, we do have an app that can get this done! Itās the Skiply QR Code app:
I would definitely recommend checking this out if youāre interested.

Hi @Helen ,
Thank you for your suggestions! Iām the lead developer of the Skiply App, and I can confirm it is a - very - cool App
With @basdebruin we have a pure developer issue with this feature, in order to help our users to have a bidirectional sync with the apps.
Thatās amazing! Itās very nice to meet you. And ahh okay, I see what youāre saying.
Feedback submitted!

Hi folks,
I searched for this and couldnāt find anything, and then once I started drafting a new topic I saw this one as a suggestion. Good auto-searching, bad human searching.
Am I correct in thinking that there are no existing ways to trigger a notification or other automation when an item is deleted?
This would be useful for us from a supervision/auditing point of view. There are certain procedures that I need my team members to carry out before deleting items from a certain board. It would be great to get notifications so that I could periodically review their work and ensure that they are following the SOP.
If there were more robust automations available, or if a deleted item could trigger a webhook, then I could probably set it up so that my team didnāt even need to do these tasks manually
Best,
Max
Iāve also got another use case: we use a custom integration for planning purposes: planning is done in Monday, based on the assigned user, it automatically ends up in their Google Calendar (the pre-built Monday/Google Calendar integration does not suffice). Updates to the planning are properly pushed to the Google Calendar, but deletions of planning items are not, so we keep the item in the Google Calendar, even though itās removed from Mondayā¦
Hi @Jaap-CAD2M @max @jeromeskiply @basdebruin
Thereās an app called Delete an Item Webhook
You can read more about it here.
hi @Yoggie
That will work. As far as I can see it is not really sending a webhook on delete. It is sending a webhook on button click (and do the deletion). What will happen if the user deletes an item the monday way?
@Yoggie Thanks for sharing this here too!
@basdebruin I suppose your point is valid here. Likely, the app wouldnāt send any data in that scenario. However, Iām sure @Yoggie would be able to shed more light on this than me.

Hi @basdebruin & @AlexSavchuk !
Yes thatās the closest I could get to a trigger.
Most of the clients that are using this app are using it on boards where the subscribers donāt have permissions to delete items, only use this button.
It covers 99% of the requests and I really hope it will help you too.
Now that this has recently been put on the roadmap, I would love to add some specifics:
-
Absolute best case for an app I am working on would be if there was a way to conditionally reject the deletion, and/or send a notification.
- Perhaps this is achieved by adding an
restore_deleted_item
mutation to the monday API? (currently has delete/archive but no means to undo)
- Perhaps this is achieved by adding an
-
If not, it would be super helpful if there was a way to get context about the deleted item such as itās ID and field values - would it still be available via the API?
