Terminate all Running Workflow Instances and Tasks when an item that is deleted from a list or libraries

If an item or document is deleted from a list or libraries, running workflow instances currently remain. This can cause unwanted actions to occur such as email reminders and escalations on outstanding tasks. It would be very helpful if any existing instances be terminated and any outstanding tasks be removed along with a notification to the assignee that action is no longer required.

      As from the merged Idea, an event On-Item-deleted with relevant StartEvent-Variables would be helpful. Sometimes, we have Lists which have a logically relationship (not by Lookup-Column) and we want to delete all Child-Items, when a Parent-Item has been deleted. Another requirement is the ability to inform somebody by mail about deleted List-Items.

      Thank you very much for posting your feedback for our review. At this time, we will not be adding this request to the near-term backlog, as we are focused on other highly requested features. However, we reevaluate requests every quarter and will reach out if priorities change. Please keep the feedback coming as it is critical for our longer-term planning.

    Detect Deletions from a SharePoint List

    We have workflows that start when an item is added to or modified in a SharePoint list, but it would be really nice if the workflow could start when seomthing is deleted from the list as well.
