When an OrderItem is deleted in Salesforce I want to trigger a Zap that makes changes to a linked Google Sheet.  I tried a Zap that triggers when an OrderItem is updated and IsDeleted?=true, but it didn’t work.

Hi @jmclaughlin 

Good question.

Many Zap app integrations don’t expose their destructive endpoints (e.g. trigger: deleted record, action: delete record) as this is considered higher risk for use in automations.

Advanced approaches would be to leverage an app’s APIs or webhooks to detect those events.
