Please ensure you execute the reference action first and thereafter delete action on the parent record. If you go action way that I mentioned in the post, please go through the below Solved: delete children record from Parent Table - Google Cloud Community If you still want to go automation way, please take a look at the below post. I requested a simple action based execution and not automation. Hi you are triggering the bot when the parent is deleted, then the further reference action will not work because it will loose the reference to the parent record in the expression because the parent record itself is first deleted. Automation monitor shows this data from the process step. When I delete a photo in the app, the bot runs but doesn't delete the file. I merely have two photo storage locations in this app.) (Note: one of the tables is _photo_cache_Images, but it's the same schema as _photo_Images. Here is the entire referencing formula, including the schemas of the two tables involved. I created a bot that triggers on the "Photo record is deleted" event. I have a table called `photo` and I've added the GDrive folder as a table called `photo_Images`. Can anybody help me troubleshoot my implementation? Please DM me the email ID where you would like me to share can't get this to work. If you want I can share the test app with you. I think the third delete action works because the first two delete actions are on different tables. These G drive folders are where actual image and PDF files are stored in G drive, The reference actions in turn work on rows of the G drive folders tables configured in the app. The first two actions "DeleteAssociatedImages" and "DeleteAssociatedFiles" are reference actions that invoke from the table where the file and images are shown in the app. The third "Delete" action above is the delete action on the table where images and files are shown in the app. The group action does delete the images and files in G drive as well as the row from the table. Hi can have group actions to first delete the associated images or files from image and file folders in the G drive followed by the delete action on the table itself where the row is deleted. to break the app or lower the app usage experience. One however needs to be careful that these images or files are not set as “required” and “labels” or main images in deck view etc. One can simply delete the images and files from the folder tables itself. Point to note One need not depend on normal table record to be deleted to delete the associated images or files in the record from the G drive. The deleted inages from G drive go to its trash folder from where those are automatically deleted after 30 days. You can have group actions to first delete the associated images or files from image and file folders in the G drive followed by the delete action on the table itself where the row is deleted.
The point to note is that referenced delete action on the folder table deletes the image from the G drive itself So essentially we can use the key of the table where the row is saved to reference and delete the associated image from the image folder table with reference action.
