# On record deleted

> Start an automation when Airtable deletes a record from one table.

`onAirtableRecordDeleted` emits the stable identity of a deleted record.

```ts automations/report-airtable-deletions.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation, sendEmail } from "automate.ax"
import { onAirtableRecordDeleted } from "automate.ax/airtable"

export default automation("Report Airtable deletions", () => {
  const event = onAirtableRecordDeleted({
    baseId: "app123",
    tableId: "tbl123",
  })

  sendEmail({ subject: "Airtable record deleted", text: event.recordId })
})
```

## Options

| Option    | Type                                                | Required | Description                                                       |

| `tableId` | `string`                                            | Yes      | Stable Airtable table ID.                                         |

## Trigger data

Returns `baseId`, `tableId`, `recordId`, ISO `occurredAt`, `source`, optional `sourceMetadata`, `transactionNumber`, and the complete Airtable transaction under `event`.

Airtable does not include deleted record field values. Persist any values you need before deletion, or use the record ID to reconcile another system.
