What flow type is required to trigger a process upon record deletion?

A Record-Triggered flow is specifically designed to initiate actions automatically in response to changes in records, including creations, updates, and deletions. In this scenario, if a record is deleted, the Record-Triggered flow can respond to this event and perform a defined set of actions in response to the deletion.

This type of flow listens for database changes at the record level, allowing for the automation of processes that need to occur right when a record is removed. For instance, you might use it to clean up related records or notify users when a crucial record is deleted.

Other flow types, such as Autolaunched, Screen, or Scheduled flows, serve different purposes. Autolaunched flows typically run in response to other processes and require another process or event to trigger them; they cannot directly respond to record deletions on their own. A Screen flow is designed for user interaction and requires user input to function, while a Scheduled flow is set to run at specified times but does not react in real-time to record changes. Consequently, none of these alternatives fulfill the requirement to automatically trigger actions exclusively on record deletion events.
