Watch for Task Field updates and Task deletion

Avatar

Level 3

Hi there,

 

We have a requirement to trigger scenario whenever Task PlannedCompletiondate or Priority fields are changed or if a task is deleted from a project.

 

I'm checking Watch Field module but don't see any options to add filters to pick up tasks from a specific project ID or watch for multiple fields. Is this the right module to use to pick Tasks based on field updates?

 

Also how to trigger a workflow if a task is deleted ? ( requirement is we sent out a outlook event whenever a task is created. So if Task is deleted, we want to delete that outlook event).

 

Thanks.

Hi there,

 

I'm using watch event module to capture event if any task is deleted.

 

Used below settings,

Record Type : Task

State : New

Event filter: Added projectID = XXX ( Want to trigger the scenario if any task is deleted in this project)

Record Origin : Deleted Record only.

 

However when I deleted a task in the project, watch event module is not triggering. 

 

Any inputs how to trigger scenario based on Task deletion?

 

Thanks

I was able to figure it out . Changing the state from New to Old, watch events is triggered when I do "Run once".

 

However when scheduled this scenario to "run Immediately as data arrives", scenario is not triggering after deleting a task. 

 

Is there any delay in watch event module for "delete records" ?

 

Thanks.
