Expanding "Table Record Deleted" Automation Event Capabilities

Product Suggestions
1

With automations we have the ability to trigger a “Table Record Deleted” event. When a table record is deleted and triggers an automation, the only data point currently accessible is the “Record ID” of the deleted record. I’m suggesting we expand this to include more data, so we can better track and audit changes. Currently, I can only monitor table record deletions from the recent activity tab. However, this is not the best way to monitor, especially since it’s not easy to search for information in recent activity.

Recommendation:

  1. Access to All Fields: Provide access to all field values from the deleted table record. This would allow for a comprehensive log of the data that was removed.
  2. User Information: Include information about the user who deleted the record, such as their badge ID and name.

Hi @nicolettenaya thanks for this post as well - there are a few caveats here like the size for the data of deleted records to send over in the event (what happens if the row is very large? do we truncate?), and also policy for keeping data of deleted records in the platform.

I’d love to find out a bit more about your auditing use case, and how you’d use Automations to help. Maybe we can chat more on Monday in our call.

Keeping an eye on upvotes and Community input for prioritization as well.
