Do flow tests support flows that execute when a record is deleted?

Flow tests in Salesforce are designed to validate the execution of flows, ensuring they perform as expected under various conditions. However, it is important to note that flow tests do not support the execution of flows that are triggered by the deletion of records. This means that if a flow is designed to activate upon a record deletion, you cannot create a test for that specific flow using the standard flow testing features available.

The reason behind this limitation is that the testing framework primarily focuses on simulating actions that trigger flows without actually deleting data within the Salesforce environment. As flows associated with delete events can have significant implications for data integrity and system behavior, Salesforce has opted to not allow flow testing in these scenarios to prevent unintended consequences during testing.

Therefore, the understanding that flow tests do not support flows triggered by the deletion of records is vital for developers and administrators when designing and managing their automation processes within Salesforce.
