cjen How to launch a flow from a trigger after delete?
hi, i have a flow that counts all of the assets related to account and updates a number field on the account. This works for new assets but i am not able to launch the flow if an asset is deleted. I am understanding that a trigger can be created to do this, maybe after delete? I need to pass the AccountId of the deleted asset into the flow. i researched and found a sample flow code.
the scenario would be a user deletes an asset record which triggers the flow to count all the assets related to the same account the deleted asset was related to, and then update a number field on the account with the new value. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Flow.Interview flow = new Flow.Interview.MyFlowApiName(new map<String,Object>
{'vAccountId' => aId});
flow.start();
I searched for the same i.e., for a way to call a flow from a trigger so that after performing your operations in trigger you can invoke the flow, but unfortunately I also found the same way that you have specified, can you please mention if the above way is working or not?

I believe you can use the following steps to get to your desired functionality.
>> create a trigger to performe for before delete operation.
>> get the ids for the records which have been changed.
>> the above you can do by getting id's from trigger.new.
>> get all the id's from account where the asset id's are in the above list.
>> Perform your operations of changing values and updating the values to the DB.
>> After this as a last step you can call the flow so that you can perform the operations in flow.
